Please Help These Needy Cats (and Woman)
Many of you struggle continuously to rescue animals and to home them. Here is one courageous woman that for years has been rescuing abused and sick cats that no one will want, and had been looking after them on her own using her own resources. At this time, due to hardships, she needs us to raise money to bail out her shelter and keep it going for the sake of over 64 cats that owe their lives to her tender loving care. Please forward this message to all your contacts in the hope that generous animal lover will bail out this woman and her cats.

The picture shows part (and I emphasize, a tiny number) of the cats who live with me, in their sleeping room. In less than two weeks, they’ll be without a roof over their heads. My leasing contract ends, the impossibly high rent climbs to further heights, and I cannot seem to find a place that can contain all of us, which includes the fencing in of the area for the cats for their security, and the like. I cannot continue moving from one place to another without help and also provide them with what they need – except tender loving care. Of course, they are not up for adoption. I don’t want to join the statistics of people who were subdued and broke, and this is why I am sending this mail, to ascertain that I have done everything, everything possible for their sakes. I welcome effective help.
Here are the cats that live and move with me from home to home (in the photo from right to left):
TUTI (in the big box) – about 12 years old, born and picked up from the street in Neve Zedek. She has been with me since she was a kitten. Her brother, GIGI, was murdered cruelly by a Thai worker ordered to do so by a neighbor who built a house next to where I lived, and she was trapped in an improvised trap, and by some miracle, escaped, but due to the panic that she suffered, her jaws were locked. She was treated and during a lengthy period, rehabilitated from the trauma. She lives with me with her mother, inseparable from her three sisters who gave her healing therapy during the period of her trauma.
MIRALE – about 10 years old. She was born in the streets of Neve Zedek. I picked her up with her two sisters, NIRALE and ATHENA (Eti) while I was forced to move from there.
OFRA – tricolor, about 7 years old. I picked her up in Ramat Hasharon when she was about half year old, running up and down in front of a Pizza house screaming with hunger, neglected and starved, a skeleton (today she is fat!!!)
NATI – she has been with me for about 7 years. I picked her up as a grown-up cat, weak, sick and starving. She suffers from a debilitating illness of the immune system, but lives in stoic happiness and receives treatment for her condition.
DOLLY (tabby, at the feet of the plush tiger) – about 6 years old. I picked her up when she was a 2 months old frightened kitty with her bowels hanging out, being dragged after her in the sand. She underwent a difficult operation and recovered, however she remained weak and physically challenged.
SNAYON (tabby, next to the wall to the left of the white tiger’s head) – about 7 years old. I picked him up from the street with his two sisters SALLY and CECILIA together with their mother – they are all with me. All four of them live in harmony with me, however, they do not communicate with anyone else but me.
PISICA (with the white collar) and CHIKITA (the tabby to her left) – sisters, about 12 years old. They were picked up together with their sister, KITZALE when they were but a couple of hours old from the yard of a cat-hater neighbor in Neve Zedek, who threatened to harm them. They are very naïve, very connected to each other, to TUTI and to me, totally unable to get along outside.
IMALE (the tabby on the black panther) – a very, very old cat with continuous health issues (of course, treated) who doesn’t allow even me to touch her. I picked her up in Neve Zedek in 1995 as a grown up after lots of hardships that she must have had.
JASPER (to her left on the black panther) – a young and beloved cat, about 5 years old, another domesticated stray with very heavy chronic immunological problems. She receives constant treatment and lives with us “held in cotton.”
TOPAZ (to the extreme left in the photo, sitting on the Chita) – a happy 6 year old. She was dying of meningitis, was in my intensive care for a very long time and by a miracle, she revived, but remained with a physical disability. Also her brother, KESEM lives with us.
MELODY (in the white box upon which MIRALE is sitting) – a touching old cat who experienced terrible traumas during her lifetime, picked up by me 5 years ago. She lives her life with us under protected conditions, which would be impossible in a different environment.
This is just the “tip of the iceberg,” these are but a few of the many cats that live together in harmony with me, and this week I have to make a very difficult choice regarding their fates, their lives.
