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.
Hey there, I have rescued and bottle fed kittens for quite a few years, and it is really hard and gruelling work. I am so proud of you and pleased that there are people like you in this world.
I do believe your story and I will be donating, also I am happy to answer any questions about kittens if you ever have any.
One thing you could try that has helped me in the past, is to contact larger local rescues when you find kittens and ask them not to take the kittens, but if they can help with spay and neuter costs and adoption connections. These rescues have deals with local vets and can often get a few kittens in, if it means someone else is taking care of them.
Over the years I have always been able to get the cost of neutering the kittens covered after calling everyone, though not always the mothers.
Also remember that those kittens can get pregnant as early as four months old, so they need to be separated from each other until you can get them all fixed.
Just finished raising a days old kitten we found in our yard and it nearly sent me to the psyche ward. I have massive respect for anyone doing that multiple times.
Thank you so much for your words of support. None of the rescues take kittens here just because of the viruses and diseases that could be at the sanctuaries just because with large population of cats it’s kind of inevitable and would completely take away. Any chance that the kids would have to live so they don’t even take kittens usually. As per the spay and neuter cost there was a sanctuary called Angelina sanctuary not us there is but they didn’t get the funding from the government this year for some reason but they also have their own fundraising page as well because a lot of the tourists that come to the island reach out to them when they find cats. It’s emotional and hard sometimes, but definitely rewarding.
