Bella is a 17‑year‑old cat with liver failure and a possible intestinal lymphoma. She needs daily veterinary treatment, additional investigations, and her human mum can no longer afford the medical costs. We have 34 street‑rescued cats under our care; daily expenses for food and litter are high, especially since many of the cats are over 10 years old and have various chronic medical conditions. Some require special diets, including Bella, who is on a hypoallergenic food and needs lifelong medical treatment. Daily living costs have risen dramatically lately – cat food, litter, and even veterinary clinic fees have gone up, veterinary drug prices are very high, and specialist investigations are almost prohibitive. That’s basically what life as a rescuer in Romania looks like: constant stress.
Being an animal rescuer in Romania has become a daily struggle against soaring costs and emotional exhaustion. Right now, I am caring for 34 cats rescued from the streets. Many of them are seniors over 10 years old, suffering from chronic conditions that require lifelong medical treatment and specialized diets.
Our most urgent crisis is Bella, a 17-year-old senior cat. Bella is fighting liver failure and a suspected intestinal lymphoma. She requires daily veterinary treatments, specialized medical exams, and a strict hypoallergenic diet.
Unfortunately, the prices of cat food, litter, medications, and veterinary fees have skyrocketed and become completely prohibitive. I can no longer cover these massive expenses on my own. Every single day is a continuous stress, but I cannot give up on them. Any donation, no matter how small, means another day of treatment for Bella and food for the other 33 cats. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support!
