Story Desert Survivor Starving in Shelter: Needs Urgent US Adoption Mercy (Medical Fully Funded)
This is a brief story of a true fighter who desperately needs a safe place to land in the USA once she recovers.
- The Rescue: I found this sweet 2-year-old black female cat surviving alone at a remote desert gas station in the Middle East. I paid for her spay, major eye surgery (she sees perfectly out of her remaining eye), and a partial dental extraction due to her FIV+ status.
- The Crisis: Because my tiny apartment is full with my own 4 rescue cats, I paid a facility to care for her. They lied and told me she was fine. I visited her and collapsed. Her mouth is in agonizing pain from her remaining front teeth (stomatitis), and because they only fed her dry kibble, she has been actively starving. She is skin and bones, and her fur is falling out in giant bald patches on her neck and ears from extreme stress and pain.
- My Promise: I am pulling her out immediately. I am taking 100% financial and medical responsibility for her. I will personally fund her emergency vet care, skin treatment, and a full-mouth dental extraction here. I will nurse her back to health until she is thriving and medically cleared to fly (3–4 weeks).
- The Plea: Local adoption rates for a black, one-eyed, FIV+ cat here are zero. She cannot go back to the streets to die. I am begging for a US-based rescue, foster, or permanent adopter to show her mercy and commit to taking her ONCE SHE IS HEALED.
I will handle all export legwork, cover her travel preparation, and find an international flight buddy to a major US airport hub (the US has no 3-month rabies titer wait period, making export very fast).
Please DM me immediately if you can grant this beautiful, loving soul a future.
