At the end of the summer, a female cat came to my front door crying, and I gave her food. Soon, I realized she was pregnant. After disappearing for about a week, she returned with a kitten, and then eventually brought all her kittens—about eight in total. As I continued to put out food and water, more cats began to show up, and before I knew it, there were around 15 cats, mostly kittens, relying on us for care.

Wanting to do things the right way, I got certified in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and registered them as a cat colony. I am disabled and don’t drive, so my sisters and nephew have been helping with feeding and cleaning up after the cats. As winter approaches, I’m deeply concerned for their well-being. Cats can’t tolerate temperatures under 40 degrees, and they urgently need cold-weather shelters. I’m unable to build these myself, so I need to purchase them. In addition, the cats need to be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated to ensure their health and safety.

Funds raised will go directly toward buying shelters and covering veterinarian bills for these cats. I’m reaching out to the community for help—any contribution, big or small, will make a real difference in giving these cats a safe and healthy life. Thank you for your kindness and support.
