Hi.
As you may know, I save lots of stray cats and give them a better life: one who was torn by dogs today was the sweetest, prettiest girl. One who was beaten by people and had no trust, today was a curious boy who brought me toys after a whole year of learning that he's in a safe space now and is loved finally. One was so small, that no one thought he will survive - yet I raisd a wobbly little bundle of joy, talkative and so happy about every day I never thought a cat could be.
Today morning I've had 5 beloved fur family mmbers - now I have only two. And this post is a cry for help to save the remained survived because they are all I have.
They were poisoned, likely by neurotoxins. Since ready-to-eat fresh meat isn't available here and canned food didn't suit their needs, I’ve been using a local manufacturer to grind meat for them once a month. After over a year of this partnership, the supplier (whether by accident or something worse) added a toxin to the meat that took the lives of three of my cats.
The first vet I visited incorrectly assumed pseudo-rabies, ignoring the fact that they lacked the key symptom: facial itching. The vet doctor whined to me, while i'm in the river of tears, loosing my family, that he wants to go home since it's a holiday (slav national day of men if you will) and hurried me up with euthonasia. Basically, pressuring me into "they will suffer, they are already dead anyway". I love my animals too much, always, and will never choose prolonging my time with them in cost of their pain. So I agreed. And one by one, they passed.
Two remained. The doc pressured me to euthonasia those too, but at least one of them, while showing neurologic symptoms, did not get worse like others. The other one almost didn't eat the portion and was damaged the least.
So I listened to my gut and, eager to save at least someone, went to the only closest place to my city with 24/7 oxygen chamber to help him fight the breathing problems - which is in 1.5 hours of ride. The doc I was leaving from didn't even gave anyone a shot from pulmonary edema (swallen lungs from poisoning) or tried to help, but I insisted on this one, since he was the only one that showed less smptoms and in my heart, had a chance.
After couple hours of oxygen he got... better. The "irrevocable" neuro symptomes turned out to be muscle oxygen starvation or vitamin lack due to poisoning. That moment me, the other doc - all realised it was curable for all of others, but the other vet got.. lazy.
I'm honestly broken. I'm empty and deep in grieve, angry and am trying to get some justice right now. And yet - will do my best to go on with commissions, since I need money to cure survived cats and cover vet debts.
On this note, I would like to ask for help. No, it would actually be a cry for help: please, help me save them, they are all I have here. I'm in despair and don't know what else to do other than work and ask for all help I can find since they all are dear to me.
You can say some kind words to help me come through, share your story so we don't feel lonely in this, make max repost or, last but most important right now, - help with donation/commission. Anything, literally anything matters. Although, as my deadlines are a bit full right now, please make sure you're ok with waiting for commission for a bit.
With the given circumstances, I accept payment plans on EVERY piece starting from $100. I will also sketch a little something with my cats and you/your OC if you donate so you can remember that you helped to save someone, and to remember the purest ones who left us.

I will update the journal after getting some sleep, with some screenshots, documents, all I can find. I did not take any photos since it happened so fast and any documentation was the last thing I was thinking about.
Thank you for reading and being with me through this. It means the world to me right now.
It's not much but I sent you a bit, stay strong for the two little ones who need you right now ❤️
Thank you so much for the help! I hope I can update the journal soon since I'm now in contact with the clinic superiors and it is MESSY. The things i got to know about this clinic...
