Dear Loyal followers, we’ve just had a committee meeting as things are pretty grim. I need to let you know where things are at and ask for your urgent support. It’s at this stage for our rescue, and I need to put it all on the line tonight and ask for donations.

It’s Martin here, the founder of our rescue. We try so hard, but try as we may, we can’t catch a break at the moment.

I am mentally and physically exhausted. Late nights, early mornings, getting up at 3am. To be honest, this post should have gone up over 12 days ago, but I just don’t have the time. We are stretched and stressed. I am fully committed with my team of volunteers to this rescue and the animals, but at the moment, we are frustrated.

We are frustrated due to how hard we try our financial position is letting us down. Vet bills and food bills, we have bills everywhere, and we just can’t keep up.

I was put on this planet to save animals like Dolly, an older street cat, and Kelly, Dorian, Sylvie and Sundara and so many others in need but at the moment we just can’t keep up.

Let me tell you about Sundara…She is a disturbed cat. For maybe around 2 years, she just lashed out at anyone. She does now headbutts with me and loves to have her back massaged, and then she purrs away. Sometimes, after the massage, she lashes out again, but it's almost like an afterthought, like: Oh, I forgot, that was in my job description!

Also, I need to let you know about Sylvie…

Sylvie is extremely frightened and shy. Living in a normal home would be a nightmare for her and the family as well. But in the sanctuary and its playground and space, she has relaxed and is happy.

These cats stay here forever. It’s a life long commitment. All I try to do is to make sure that whoever comes through our doors have a safe, comfortable place forever.

The bills however keep coming and so do the phone calls and the SMSes. It is unrelenting. I know we need to keep on going. Our team does, too.

Tonight we need to raise $20,000. It’s urgent and it’s vital as we have so many vet bills to pay off.

Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us there. It’s my Xmas wish that we get to our target. It’s my only wish to be honest. For the animals xx
