(UPDATE) FUNDRAISING TO GET ABANDONED CATS VETCARE!
7 years ago
Buy me a ko-fi and fuel more personal art!
JOURNAL STARTS HERE UPDATE: We're pretty sure little Delilah is pregnant! She's been taken to my sisters house to keep an eye on her and will be the next to go to the vets. She's round and firm in the middle, eats and drinks twice as much as my sisters other cats, and uses the litter tray far more frequently too. Any sharing and donations would be so so helpful in making sure all the cats and any possible kittens Delilah has, get any and all medical treatment they need!

Current total of the fundraiser (as of 01/10/18, 11am):
£167.63

Hey all,
For a while now I've been feeding four stray cats. Two females, Two males.
They were kicked out by their owner several months ago because the landlord said she couldn't have cats anymore. Instead of taking them to a shelter or finding new homes for them, the previous owner kicked locked them out and no longer provides ANY care for them. At the time, one of the females was pregnant, visibly so. (waddling along with her big round belly bless her) Since then she's clearly given birth, though there's no evidence of kittens anywhere and she doesn't seem to be producing milk. So we believe none of them survived.
From another neighbour trying to talk to the original owner, we know the pregnant one has had kittens before and lost the litter prior to that one as well. We also know that the original owner wanted to keep the cats around so that she could catch the kittens and sell them. That's the only reason, and even then she refused ot feed or give them veterinary care or alternate shelters. Which is disgusting in my opinion.
So another neighbour was feeding them, but lost her job and had to stop doing so. Since then, I've taken over feeding them.
A few days ago, the previously pregnant female, Who I've named Nimue, was found to be bleeding from her vagina. I took her to the vet myself and paid all that. They found nothing indicating a womb infection or any big issues. They believe either she may have been pregnant again and had a small litter, or it's from being mated. however there's still no sign of a litter or her having milk.
All of them are un-spayed/neutered, one has haematoma in his ears which must be uncomfortable for him. Another has possibly the same issue in one ear. And the other female might be pregnant, she's also VERY small and young so this would be her first litter if she is and we're worried about that.
I've forgotten the exact cost of things from the vet as their prices are only displayed in the clinic.
I believe it's around £30-£40 per animal?
Spaying a female is £59 and neutering a male is £49. (and there are two males to me neutered.
I'm not sure of the price for dealing with the ear issues.
They would likely also need all their vaccinations and boosters.
I'm planning on keeping Nimue, and as such will be paying for her medical are myself. In an ideal world I'd keep all of them and pay for all their vets fees myself, but I can't afford to do that for four cats. The catch and release programs for neutering strays here is booked until December and none of the shelters can afford to take cats who are pretty healthy, they can only take severe cases due to lack of resources.
What I'm asking is that anyone who is willing, please donate to help me get these cats medical care!
They are all VERY sweet cats, very affectionate, all can be picked up easily with no hassle. Nimue was a perfect angel when I took her to the vet, no trouble getting her in the carrier, no trouble in the car, not a peep out of her. Even in the vets being prodded and having thermometer put up her butt she was calm and only trembled a bit and curled against me for cuddles. We also found then that she's not got a microchip, which means it's unlikely the other three have one either.
Due to my mum already having a cat, who is very antisocial at the best of times, I can't really take them in myself, though my mum has said I can have Nimue in my room, which I'll be doing after her spaying while she heals, and then I'll be taking her with me when I move (which is planned for as soon as we find a house lol).
I absolutely adore these cats and I want to do everything I can to make sure they're healthy and cared for.
Normally I'd offer art for people, however due to events earlier this summer, my work queue is currently a bit out of whack and I'm not reasonably able to take on any more work until I've sorted that.
If you're able to donate and want to, please do so here! paypal.me or here ko-fi, and please make sure to ADD A NOTE to say the donation is for the cats!
