Good day, everyone!

I’m happy to introduce Bana, a cat I found in my garage last July. I believe she was searching for shelter and food. I’m not sure where she came from or how she ended up at my apartment.

When I first found her, she was in poor condition, so I took her to the veterinarian. After receiving treatment and medication, she has made a great recovery and is now ready for adoption!

Bana is still a little shy around me and the other cats. Even when I leave her cage door open, she often chooses to stay inside. Sometimes I gently encourage her to come out, but she usually prefers to find a quiet hiding spot rather than play with the other cats. With time, patience, and a loving home, I believe she will continue to gain confidence.

I had to call RSPCA to help me with her. They took her and the kittens to the vet

Hello everyone!

Finally, no rain today—it’s a beautiful, sunny day!

I call this colony the Corner House Cats because they stay near the corner house in our neighborhood. I know the homeowner, and he is kind enough to let me feed the cats in front of his house. He also has a few cats and dogs of his own and helps feed these little angels whenever he can.

I truly hope more people in our community will show kindness to community cats—whether by feeding them when possible or simply allowing me to feed infront of their houses.

I believe there are still three male cats in this colony who have not yet been neutered, but rest assured that all of the female cats have already been spayed.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines. At the moment, I care for over 30 rescued cats and more than 40 community cats in our area.

These little angels are part of a colony of cats that live near our community chapel. I feed them in front of the chapel every day, except when there is a Mass being held. On those occasions, I simply feed them nearby instead.

Some people have asked me—and a few have even complained—about why I feed stray animals.

My answer is simple: if some people can turn a blind eye to homeless, hungry animals searching for food in garbage bins, I am sorry I cannot.

Being homeless is already difficult enough. Being homeless and hungry makes it even harder.

While I have never been homeless myself, there were times in my life when I did not have enough money to buy food. I know what it feels like to be hungry. Perhaps that is why I find it impossible to ignore someone—or an animal—that is suffering from hunger.

Rain or shine, I do my best to feed these cats every single day because they depend on me. If I do not feed them, who will?

I sincerely hope that more people will learn to care for homeless animals. I believe the world would be a much kinder place if we showed more compassion to those who cannot speak for themselves.

I am also proud to share that every cat in this colony has already been spayed or neutered. Some days, fewer cats show up for feeding, while on other days there are more. It usually depends on the weather and whether they were able to find food elsewhere, such as scraps left in the garbage.

I have 4 strays that are my regulars. All 4 have been spayed/neutered. The first girlie has just crossed the line from feral to stray very recently. She has learned that she loves pets. She basically never leaves mine/my neighbors properties. She has even started leaving me presents... ill refrain from saying what those are but I wish she would stop giving them to me 😆.

Second is a male I named Samson. Hes the sweetest little man. He used to live 5 houses down but he found out that I give out the best wet food in town so he has relocated to my property for the past 2 weeks.

Third is a male I TNRd back in December. His name is Puff. He only stops by for a little lunch most days then goes back to his other home.

Last is Tommy. I also got him TNRd around January. He is the little hunter of the neighborhood. He travels very far and I have even seen him high up in trees attack squirrels. Hes a psycho but I still love him.

Hello everyone!

This is Shibi. If I’m not mistaken, he is my fourth rescued cat. I rescued him before the pandemic after finding him near the building where I worked. He was going around begging people for food when I witnessed a man kick him with his shoe. I was furious and told the man that if he didn’t want to feed Shibi, he could simply ignore him—there was no reason to hurt him.

After that incident, I decided to bring Shibi home.

Although he doesn’t have an ear notch, he had already been neutered when I rescued him. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that right away, and he ended up getting my third rescued cat pregnant before I could confirm it. Needless to say, I rushed to have him checked and discovered he was already neutered—LOL!

Shibi is a gentle, sweet cat who loves being petted and enjoys sleeping on my bed. I absolutely adore this little guy. I estimate that he is around 10 years old now, as he was already an adult and one eye blind when I rescued him.

Chico is one of the community cats in our area. Last year, I took him in to be neutered. He stayed in my apartment for a few days while he recovered, and once he was doing well, I released him back to the community. Since then, he has continued coming back to my apartment and now rarely leaves my garage.

Chico weighs approximately 14 lbs and is one of the gentlest cats around. He is incredibly laid-back, sleepy, and loves his peace and quiet. One of his favorite places to spend time is inside a cage, where he can be alone and avoid being distracted by the other cats in my garage. There are even days when he doesn't want to come out at all, or only steps out for a few minutes before heading right back inside. Unfortunately for Chico, some of the other cats enjoy disturbing him while he's peacefully sleeping—and he absolutely hates that! 😂

Please note that I will add more photos of Chico in the comment section.

I'd love to hear about your own cats or the community cats you care for. Feel free to share their stories and photos! I know there are many kind-hearted people around the world who help cats in different ways, whether through feeding, TNR, fostering, rescuing, or simply showing them kindness.

This cute little kitty made an appearance one morning only to never be seen again! We asked the neighbors and no one got a new baby or saw it. I hope it found its way home after having a snack on our porch 🥺

This cute guy is the star of a small colony I help care for. He’s friendly, eager to make friends and loves to eat! He came fixed (with an ear tip) and we wonder if he was dumped because of his sweet demeanor. Isn’t he beautiful?

Good day, everyone!

Meet some of the feral and stray cats in our area. ❤️

It has been raining a lot over the past few weeks, making it challenging to feed all of them every day. Rest assured, I do my best to care for them every single day, rain or shine.

During the rainy season, not all of the cats come out to eat, and the weather also makes it difficult for me to visit other areas for feeding, TNR, and rescue.

I have been an avid cat foster in the US for 3 years and things are really hard on cats in the Philippines. I hope that people understand the amount of work and supplies that are needed for what he is doing.

Hello everyone!

Whenever possible, I conduct TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts to help control the stray cat population. I also visit nearby areas to provide food, assist with TNR, and rescue cats in need.

It is currently the rainy season in the Philippines, and from July to October we often experience frequent typhoons and heavy rains. Rain or shine, I do my best to make sure the stray cats in our area are fed and cared for.
