I don’t even know where to begin.
Over the past few days, I have been rescuing kittens one after another. It started with two, then one more, then another. One came in the morning, one came in the evening, and then the last one arrived.

In total, six kittens were abandoned, taken away from their mother too early, sick, and unable to survive on their own.
At the same time, two more kittens were brought back by their mother. They were in danger in the garden, threatened by male cats and not tolerated by my family, who do not accept animals and try to chase them away.

I had no choice but to create a small safe space for them on the roof with the help of my nephews.
The mother is very thin and a bit feral, and I am doing my best to care for her babies while waiting for the chance to sterilize her when I can afford it.
This brings the total to eight kittens.

This keeps happening because I feed stray animals. People see me and assume I will take responsibility, so they leave kittens behind and walk away.
One of the kittens has been living in my car since Sunday. I am trying to treat him myself because I cannot afford veterinary care anymore.

I am currently caring for around 70 cats and dogs on my own. I have no more space, no more time, and no more financial resources, but I still cannot turn my back on them.
This situation is affecting every part of my life. I am constantly trying to find ways to feed them, even borrowing money just to keep going.

I have unpaid bills at the veterinary clinic, the pet store, and the boarding facility where my dogs are staying.
I am doing everything I can, but it is becoming harder and harder to continue alone.

I am sharing this with the hope that someone, somewhere, will see them and help.
Even a simple share can make a difference.
Thank you for reading and for caring.
