I went there today to give Bambi some food, and you will NOT believe what happened. He was literally standing there waiting for me. 🥹
When he saw me, he was scared at first, but then he came towards me and jumped onto my shoulder. He started playing with my shoulder and my hair, and honestly, I was so happy to see him like that. 😭❤️
I opened the cat food pouch and let him smell it. He didn’t eat at first, but there was another orange female cat nearby. She came over and started eating the kitten food, and I think Bambi saw her and understood that it was food because he eventually started eating on his own too. 🥹
I also gave him his medicine.
And now I need a little help from you guys. Someone has agreed to foster Bambi until he gets adopted, which is honestly such a relief. I’ll still need to help with his food and other basic things while he’s being fostered, so any support would mean a lot.
We’re planning to go to Qutub Metro Station today to drop Bambi off with the foster person. I’m just hoping someone can help me with the cab fare. As you all know, I’m basically a broke teenager with no money 😭 and I’ve already spent whatever I had on Bambi’s food and medicine.
If anyone is willing to help with the cab fare, please DM me. Even a small amount would help. ❤️
I couldn’t record any videos while I was with him because I was alone.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Bambi, supporting him, and helping me throughout this. ❤️🐾

Guys, there’s a kitten we recused near my hostel but as it’s a college dorm I can’t keep it at all at all, I need someone to adopt it and some donations to save the kitten. Some dogs actually injured the kitten pretty bad and I’m really concerned about it. I’m in Bannerghatta, Bangaluru, and I need serious replies, it’s a kitten 4-5 months old, female

Hi everyone, I really didn't want to ask for financial help, but I'm honestly overwhelmed, out of funds, and running out of time.
A little while ago, a stray momma cat tragically passed away after falling into a deep drain near my place, leaving behind five tiny, helpless kittens. I couldn't just leave them to fend for themselves, so I took all five in. By some miracle, I managed to scrape all of my savings and give two of them them up to the shelter (proof attached) almost immediately. Because I didn't want to keep the remaining three locked up, they accidentally got out. My heart absolutely broke, but thankfully, two of them have finally found their way back to me.
To keep them from wandering off again and getting hurt, I've had to keep these last two in cages for now. Since rescuing them, I've spent around 5.6k out of my own pocket on their food, medicines, tick and flea treatments, and multiple vet visits to make sure they are healthy. I am a college student living in a PG, so that completely drained my small budget-but I am not asking to get that money back.
Here is why I desperately need your help: I am leaving for my hometown this Thursday. I cannot keep them in my PG, and I cannot bear the thought of putting them back out on the street after all they've been through. And it's a small town I don't know enough people here...
I didn't get anyone that could adopt these babies so the shelter is the only option for now. But they charge an admission fee of 2k for each cat. I just don't have the 4k needed to get them safely surrendered, and I only have until Thrusday to figure this out.
If anyone could spare even a tiny amount to help me cover their shelter fees, I would be forever grateful. It breaks my heart to ask, but getting them into this shelter is their only safe option right now.
I have attached my QR code in the images below.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions in the comments or DMs, share their vet bills, or provide more pictures of these sweet babies. Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can give them. A
And I have makeup the chat where my full address was visible.
Location is near Ashokenagar, West Bengal.
Also I am going to attach a g drive link for video proofs in the comments.

Corporate employee Bento is looking for a home in Pune/Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi (can consider pan india if we find a genuine and responsible home with existing pets/pet experience)
Bento is a 6 month old male kitten. He’s litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and about to be sterilised. He’s extremely friendly, loves to cuddle and sleep on his day job. He’s not worried about who’s paying the bills as long as he gets his daily cat food and some good amount of playing on company time. He’s also famous for lowering the morale of other employees by becoming their afternoon nap partner. He’s very friendly with other cats (and dogs too) and has now managed to make one of the cat employees sleep next to him on the office chair.
Bento is looking for a good and a responsible home to retire. He’s not meant for this 9-5 life and would rather spend his days figuring out how to become a pet influencer for the big bucks.
Adoption formalities are mandatory.
If you can give tired corporate employee Bento a good home, please reach out to us on @_bbpaws on instagram or text 7043782899 on whatsapp (no calls)

We currently kept him in a bedroom, since he has fleas and we already have a recently adopted adult cat. He is continuously meowing like in the video, if not patted and sitting down, so he can sleep on lap. And we have to sit with him for this long time nor he is letting us sleep at night. It seems he is very unsettled and missing his littermates or mother maybe. We found him in a reserved forest area with his littermate and dogs. Although we didnt find his mother anywhere. So we are thinking should we return him to his environment where we found him.
Update: We found his caretaker, he was out that day. This kitten is 2 months old, has no littermate and rescued when his mother died after giving birth. He is used to being alone and sleep away on his own space. Also he is a fighter, how he managed to fight his health issues without his mother.
Now the kitten is making progress today, yesterday he had diarrhea, today is a progress, sleeping on the warm pad taking 1-1 hr naps, was dehydrated its better now. Though he is only seeping water with food in it. Crying less than yesterday but still we don't know why he is still crying after giving food too. Due to his diarrhea situation and food change, we dont want to load him more.
Also we are going to change the vet now, she doesn't seem to be much helping, when being completely clueless to animal care.
But a bad news is he is not interested in touch now. No sleeping in my palms, no pats, only food and scratches🥺

This is the stray puppy, poor baby was still scratching and itching. His mother was still with him. Someone kind lady from my city was willing to help and said she will give medicine for infection. Someone from one rescue center will come in 2-3 days to treat both of them. She said she will come with all other medications, I would have to buy deworming for the puppy. I will need help to buy that.

Hey everyone, I’m feeling pretty exhausted and heartbroken, and I really need some honest perspective from fellow cat parents.
About three months ago, my husband and I found a tiny, abandoned kitten at a hotel reception hall while attending a wedding. We couldn't leave him behind, so we brought him home, named him Zorn, and got him full veterinary care—he’s fully vaccinated, dewormed, and now neutered. He’s about 6 months old now, super high-energy, and very food-motivated.
The problem is the dynamic between him and our 6-year-old resident cat, Fluffy.
We’ve tried doing everything by the book when it comes to classic introduction methods.D spite all of this, the moment they have visual access or cross paths, things go downhill fast. Fluffy is terrified of his high-energy approach and immediately starts hissing/growling at him. Her running and defensive reaction instantly triggers Zorn's chase drive. His tail puffs up, he runs after her, and it turns into an active, screaming tussle where fur literally flies.
We tried keeping Zorn in his isolated room/mesh door setup to reset things, but he suffers from severe isolation anxiety—he cries endlessly and has even started stress-peeing outside his litter box when locked away, even though he's otherwise litter-trained.
It feels like we're trapped in a constant cycle of stress: Fluffy is living in fear/hiding, Zorn is hyper-aroused and frustrated, and our home feels like a war zone. We are extremely attached to Zorn and love him deeply, but seeing Fluffy so stressed and having to manage daily fights is taking a huge emotional toll on us.
We recently moved back to my hometown, where finding responsible, educated cat adopters isn't very easy, so rehoming feels like a daunting and scary last resort.
My questions for you guys:
Is this just a classic case of a 4-month-old high-energy kitten simply overwhelming a 6-year-old adult cat, and will it naturally settle as he matures?
Is there anything else we haven't tried (e.g., vet-prescribed calming meds like Gabapentin during introductions) that could realistically fix this?
Or are their fundamental personalities just incompatible, and the most compassionate thing for both cats would be to find Zorn a great home as an only cat?
Would appreciate any insight, harsh truths, or advice from anyone who has been in a similar spot. Thank you so much.

I have two cats and a dog, all of them are on a mix of dry, wet and boiled chicken diet.
Unfortunately, one of the cats refuses to eat food from any other brand except whiskas (wet or dry)- she is extremely picky. It's either that or home made food. (We have tried introducing other brands in every method but she just ends up vomitting and refuses to eat anything except chicken and broth for the day)
The other cat isn't picky at all and eats food from other brands and loves homemade food as well. Huge foodie, very playful.
My dog is a senior gsd (rescued and adopted), from STF. He is about 8-10 years old now. He has trauma from being in STF (rigid training, poor living conditions), we mainly made chicken food for him (to mix with royal canine kibble as he refuses to eat dry kibble as is due to how he was being treated back then). He also has skin issues and joint issues (the vet said it's normal since he is pure bred and they are obviously not suited for the Indian climate).
I realise that home made food isn't nutritionally adequate for them, so I wanted more recommendations on meal toppers or premix. For both cats and dogs.
Additionally joint supplement recommendations for my dog.
I have heard about "whisker and wilde", "vitali cat and vitali dog paste" and "chomps" but need more reviews on the products.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

A family member is fighting for his life right now.
My friend’s beloved dog is critical and in desperate need of blood. His platelet levels have dropped dangerously low, and without an immediate transfusion, he won't make it.
He is currently fighting at Raintree Hospital, Sopanbaug.
If you are a dog parent, you know the unconditional love they give us. Today, your dog has the chance to literally save his life. We are searching urgently for a DEA 1-Negative (DEA 1-ve) donor.
Does your dog meet these donor requirements?
Weight: 25 kg or more
Age: 1 to 8 years old
Up to date on all vaccinations
No history of tick fever in the past year
Not currently taking any antibiotics
Even if your dog isn't a match, sharing this post takes 2 seconds and could be the reason he survives today.
Please reply if you can help or have leads. Every single minute counts.

Hello everyone!
These kittens were rescued when they were just a few days old and are being hand-raised with love and care. They were found in abandoned car which people took away, and separated them from their mother.
Their expenses are very difficult to manage alone. Really need some help with kitten milk replacers and pee pads.
If a few of you could help with their supplies, it would mean so much. Please help if you can!

I went there today to give him his food and his second dose of medicine, but when I arrived, I couldn’t find him. I later found out that he had gone into someone’s parking area and somehow got inside a car. I have no idea how he managed to get in.
I stayed there for almost an hour, trying to call him out. Just when I was about to leave, I finally saw him come out. I immediately took him, gave him his medicine, and tried to feed him.
He was not eating on his own, so I had to feed him a little through a syringe. He did manage to eat a small amount. I couldn’t record everything at first because I was alone and was focused on getting him out safely. My sister came later and recorded this video.
I wasn’t able to take him to the temporary caretaker today because of some issues, so I will be taking him there tomorrow.
Someone has agreed to take this kitten in temporarily and care for him until he gets adopted. I’m really hoping things work out for him.
If I need financial help for his treatment, medicines, food, or other expenses in the future, I hope many of you will be able to help.
