"The number of stray cats keeps increasing because of frequent abandonments. And inevitably, more abandonments mean uncontrolled reproduction, as these cats are rarely sterilized. For me, it’s becoming increasingly difficult: resources are scarce, donations are few, and getting these cats sterilized is a real struggle. Even just providing them with kibble is a daily battle...
It’s been two weeks since I started reducing both the frequency of my visits and the amount of kibble I distribute. And now, I have nothing left. They’ll have to fend for themselves, rummaging through garbage or scavenging for scraps wherever they can. But that’s uncertain—and dangerous for them too.
Their health will deteriorate; that’s inevitable. They’ll lose weight, become aggressive. In such conditions, it’s impossible to monitor the stray population properly. Yet kibble is the foundation! This situation breaks my heart. I’m scared for all these cats who rely on me. As soon as I can’t help them anymore, things spiral out of control so quickly... It’s really hard to bear."
"I’ve been seeing Lama on the streets for a few months now. She’s very young, around six months old. She has mange. I’ve already given her an injection and a treatment for it, but her condition isn’t improving.
Lama is skittish, and her health is fragile because of the mange. Without proper nutrition, her condition will only worsen. Kibble is essential for her; she needs it to recover!"
"I keep coming across more and more weak or sick cats on the streets. I bring them to the shelter to treat and save them, but with limited resources, it’s becoming harder to care for these fragile cats.
At the shelter, the cats only eat once a day—if that. It all depends on what I can find. Until yesterday, it was just a small amount of the cheapest kibble I could get, which isn’t even the right kind for them. Now, I have nothing left. Some are losing weight; others are losing their fur. The situation is even worse for kittens or already sick cats. Watching their condition worsen before my eyes is heartbreaking.
I don’t know what to do anymore or who to ask for help. I’m at my wit’s end—stressed and exhausted. I feel trapped. All I want is for them to eat their fill… That’s the bare minimum, but even that, I can’t manage anymore."
"Orage is about five months old. I found her by the side of the road, very weak and feverish due to an eye infection. Right now, I can’t even consider surgery—her eye needs to heal first. She’s undergoing treatment to prepare, but progress is very slow.
Her condition remains fragile, between the infection and the effects of the treatment. Without kibble, her immune system will weaken further, which could complicate her recovery and lead to other issues.
She needs proper nutrition to regain her strength, support her health, and prepare as much as possible for surgery. It’s crucial to give her the best chance to recover."
"Caring for 250 cats is an enormous challenge. Between kibble, veterinary care, and sterilization, the expenses are massive. But donations are inconsistent, the number of cats needing help keeps increasing, and adoptions are almost nonexistent—only one since the beginning of the year. We’re far from breaking even.
This month, I received a single food donation, which lasted for about 3 days. That's something, but unfortunately, it isn't much, compared to the daily needs of the shelter and the street cats. This lack of support makes everything harder: I’ve had to cut back on medical care for sick cats due to lack of funds. It’s disheartening, but I have no choice. I’m already in debt to two veterinarians and for the kibble I’ve bought!
Every day is a struggle to feed the cats and meet their needs. There’s no stability. It’s so hard, but I can’t feel sorry for myself. The cats depend on me, so I have to keep fighting for them."
"Seeing abandoned, mistreated, or distressed animals is what pushed me to act. Here, they’re everywhere. I wanted to do something to improve their lives and give them a chance to live with dignity.
Because of what I do, stray cats can get treatment when they’re sick and are fed regularly, which allows them to survive and live in better conditions. In my region, animal welfare is progressing little by little. But I’d really like to see more collaboration with local authorities—partnerships to organize sterilization campaigns, financial aid to support shelters… That would be a real step forward.
It’s a hard road, but every cat saved, every suffering avoided, reminds me why I keep going: to give these animals a better life and, in my own small way, make a difference."
