So I moved to the island of Corfu last year because my grandparents had a house here and rent was ridiculous in Toronto… in a year since I’ve been here I’ve bottle fed 16 kittens which were abandoned or thrown in garbage bins ( I have more photos of all) 7 which unfortunately didnt make it …because when they’re that young and they don’t have their mother’s milk they most of the time fade. Anyway, I am rambling the government hasn’t put any funds aside for trap and release this year at all and there’s going to be a lot of cats that die this winter. I already have exhausted my funds trying to do everything I can and now I have 14 cats (5 before the kittens and 9 kittens that survived) all of my cats are sterilised obviously out of my own pocket I want to go save them all… I just can’t …but I want to do more so I started a fundraiser campaign but I’m a fucking loner who lives on a Greek island with now 14 cats 🫠so I don’t really know how to get it any traction so I can at least start helping more cats. So hopefully nobody trolls me and somebody can give me a hand with this. :)

The mods have went over some of my proof and said I can post the link to the donation page here…

Edit** So moderator reached out to me and because “somebody”doesn’t think that this is real, they asked that I removed the link to donate. even though that the moderator-said I could put the link in the first place after I sent some proof they now want me to post for a couple of weeks about the cats I’ve rescued before being allowed to post a donation link again. So what I’m gonna do starting tomorrow is post about each group of cats that I’ve rescued and now live with me personally and their journeys… and once I build up community and trust, I’ll be allowed to post a donation link again. So stay tuned for lots of cat pictures from me and their stories… our story. Thank you guys in the end it’s all about the cats.

      I am confident that this is how textbook scams work. The mods already replied to this.

      I can’t open that link by the way.

        I am confident that this is the link that the human above tried to post

        https://lemmy.zip/post/53949273

        Yeah, you’re completely wrong. Not scamming. The only thing you’re right about is that I haven’t thought it through properly because I didn’t think I could get any support but now that I know it’s a possibility I’m gonna properly plan.

          Oh pictures of a bunch of cats. That proves everything.

          Why do you need $100K? What will you do with that money? It says on your page that it’s “potentially” going to be used for some kind of cat sanctuary. What kind of documentation will you provide to show what you do with the money? Do you have actual documents or something you can show that can be verified instead of a bunch of cat videos? I can get a dozen cat videos myself and put them up and write a sob story, people literally do this shit all the time.

          Sorry for being suspicious, but no, I’m not. I’ve seen this before. Show all the receipts, be transparent, and I’ll donate myself.

          I am not after you, I am after scammers in general, and if you can prove your intentions, then sure we’ll donate. Otherwise, it sounds a lot like a scam.

            You are literally just a dick head; and apparently you can’t read either just the same way I can’t write correctly but I did say that I wanted to put 10,000 not 100,000 as the goal. 👌 don’t worry I’m in the middle of working on a post that’s gonna make you look like an even bigger dumbass.

                No, for not seeing the verification with your eyes and instead continuing to make assumptions, but don’t you worry little man. I’m gonna accomplish what I need to do, if there’s motherfuckers on the Internet asking for donations for stupid stupid shit I think getting a community together to help some poor innocent animals isn’t such a horrible thing. So no I’m gonna show off the cats that I’ve already rescued and I’m gonna continue to try to source some funds to help as much as I can. While you type behind your computer as a failed detective

              Well you seem like a legitimate sponsor then. Is this still about cats or your ego? Post the receipts, or stop asking for handouts.
