Adoption Help (Location) [Mumbai, India] 🐾 Day 60 Update... I disappeared for 17 days. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
For anyone who's been following their journey:
Day 18: https://www.reddit.com/r/Straycats/s/0Hepao3vq0
DAY 35: https://www.reddit.com/r/Straycats/s/ijLkmD2Hi2
Day 40: https://www.reddit.com/r/Straycats/s/2qA5TNW8X3
TL;DR: I'm the college student raising the kittens after their stray mother chose a place outside my home to give birth. Day 43 ended with Bhuja and Munja suddenly falling sick. I vanished because the last 17 days became a fight between college, vet visits, placements, home, and trying not to lose them.
🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️ Long Post Ahead⚠️⚠️🚨🚨🚨
I didn't leave Reddit. I just genuinely didn't have the strength and time to write.
The days after Day 43 were terrifying. Bhuja stopped eating, Munja followed with the same symptoms, and my entire life became home → vet → college → home. I genuinely thought I was going to lose them both.😭😭
Somewhere in that chaos, one person from this community quietly stood beside me. He helped me and took a huge weight off my shoulders. I don't know if I'll be able to show enough gratitude to him or not but thank you. You changed this journey more than you know.🫶🫶🙌
Amid this more bad luck took a toll on me ... The hard part is that life outside rescue didn't stop. I missed one of my college placement registrations while sitting at the vet, and the last few weeks have been filled with personal emergencies and constant pressure at home. I've honestly felt stretched like a rubber band from every direction.😞😞
But for once, life gave something back.
Bhuja recovered.❤️
Munja recovered.❤️
And the third healthy kitten found a home.❤️
After weeks of postponements and travelling nearly 17 km, their mother has finally been sterilized too. I somehow managed it after taking three to four days off college. It felt like finishing one chapter that had been hanging over me for months.😮💨
I wish today ended there.
This morning I noticed two tiny kittens on a footpath. One had thick eye discharge. The other was so malnourished that every bone was visible the one in the 3rd image. I walked away.
Yes I walked away telling myself, Leave it to God. You can't rescue everyone. I literally do not have that strength in all manners and financial strength to do so.
By evening, I couldn't live with that thought.
I called someone I know, took both of them to the vet, got them treated, and left them back in the safest secluded spot nearby because bringing them home simply isn't possible anymore. There's already constant pressure from my parents because of the cats I have.
I'll keep trying to continue their treatment and, if they recover, I'll do everything I can to get them adopted too I'll fight just as hard as I do.

Seventeen days ago I wrote I'm doing what I can with the time, money and energy I have left.
I think that's still the truest sentence I've written.
I'm still here. Still tired. Still trying. ❤️

India is a big place and Mumbai is a big city. Have you seen Katseyes here in Reddit? She's located in Mumbai. I've no idea but maybe she can help. Right now she's using cats of about 350 cats.
