Help My Rescue Kittens Fight for Their Lives

Hi, my name is Smilla, and I’m fundraising to help cover the medical treatment of my rescue kittens.

It all started when my friend and I came across a skinny, malnourished street cat living between trash piles. An elderly woman told us she was pregnant. We couldn’t just walk away — so I took her in, fed her, and gave her a safe home.

A few months later, she gave birth to four tiny kittens. Sadly, they were all very fragile. One of them passed away despite my rushing him to a hospital an hour away late at night. The other three were also not gaining weight — it was incredibly worrying. Eventually, we found out they were infested with worms, which explained why they were so dangerously underweight.

After weeks of care and treatment, they finally started to recover. They were gaining weight, becoming playful, and finally thriving. But just yesterday (May 30th), things took a heartbreaking turn again.

I noticed something was wrong when one of the kittens suddenly stopped eating and lost weight rapidly. I immediately took them to my local vet. The checkup and medicine were already quite expensive, but I wanted to do everything I could. I stayed up monitoring them through the night, giving the medication as instructed, hoping they’d bounce back.

But by 2 a.m., their condition had worsened — so I rushed all three kittens and their mother to a 24/7 animal hospital. They were admitted right away. The tests revealed that they had Feline Panleukopenia (FPV), Feline Coronavirus (FCoV), and Giardia — three very serious infections.

The total cost just for this one day came to 20,000 baht — which is nearly 80% of my monthly salary. I live in Thailand and earn very little, and now I have nothing left to get through the upcoming month. Still, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I just fear that more medical bills are coming — and that’s why I’ve started this fundraiser.

Any support, no matter how small, will help cover:

Since I haven’t been able to find committed, loving adopters for the kittens here, I plan to take them with me when I return to my home country — to give them the safe, secure life they deserve. Your help could make that possible.

Thank you for reading and for caring. I truly appreciate any donation or share that helps us get through this.

With love,

Smilla & the kittens
