So I moved to the island of Corfu last year because my grandparents had a house here and rent was ridiculous in Toronto… in a year since I’ve been here I’ve bottle fed 16 kittens which were abandoned or thrown in garbage bins ( I have more photos of all) 7 which unfortunately didnt make it ..because when they’re that young and they don’t have their mother’s milk they most of the time fade. Anyway, I am rambling the government hasn’t put any funds aside for trap and release this year at all and there’s going to be a lot of cats that die this winter. I already have exhausted my funds trying to do everything I can and now I have 14 cats (5 before the kittens and 9 kittens that survived) all of my cats are sterilised obviously out of my own pocket I want to go save them all… I just can’t ..but I want to do more so I started a fundraiser campaign but I’m a fucking loner who lives on a Greek island with now 14 cats 🫠so I don’t really know how to get it any traction so I can at least start helping more cats. So hopefully nobody trolls me and somebody can give me a hand with this. :)

The mods have went over some of my proof and said I can post the link to the donation page here..

Edit** So moderator reached out to me and because “somebody”doesn’t think that this is real, they asked that I removed the link to donate. even though that the moderator-said I could put the link in the first place after I sent some proof they now want me to post for a couple of weeks about the cats I’ve rescued before being allowed to post a donation link again. So what I’m gonna do starting tomorrow is post about each group of cats that I’ve rescued and now live with me personally and their journeys.. and once I build up community and trust, I’ll be allowed to post a donation link again. So stay tuned for lots of cat pictures from me and their stories.. our story. Thank you guys in the end it’s all about the cats.

Man I hate to be that guy but there's three cats in the first pic, two dark and one white and dark, and in the second pic there's four cats, two grey striped and two black and white.

I'm sure this is legit and all, but when people straight up ask for money...

The mods received proof of some kind? I'd need some more verification for certain, this is not enough reason to send anyone money.

Edit:

Goal: CAD $100,000

Uhhh.. For what?

Help TRN in Corfu and eventually a sanctuary

🌟 Meet Our Furry Friends

Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to you from Corfu, a beautiful island in Greece. It’s here that we face a bit of a crisis with stray cats. 😺🍃 The situation is dire – there are so many strays and the government hasn’t provided funds for sterilisation this year. This has led to an overpopulation problem that's hard to manage.

But here’s where you come in! I already have a little family of cats at my place – sweet souls who found their way into our hearts and lives. We care deeply about them but also want to help the others we encounter. 🙏🐾

I've been dreaming about building a sanctuary, an actual home for these kitties right here on Corfu. A space where they can live in peace without worrying about hunger or danger from cars and other elements. But it’s going to take some serious effort – and money! 😓💰

This is written by ChatGPT by the way.

"Help TRN in Corfu and eventually a sanctuary"

Eventually a sanctuary? You want $100,000 CAD, for finding some cats in a bag? That don't match the pictures? For what exactly, were you planning on outlining that at all? "Eventually a sanctuary"? This is a textbook scam.

Here you go buddy, and it to the evidence pile detective..

I’ll keep posting lemme know when you have enough evidence to clear my name 🙄

That's a bunch of nice pictures of cats. Pictures of cats isn't evidence. I'm sure you have a lot of cats. You asked for a lot of money. Care to explain what the money is going to do, and what receipts you are going to show for it?

You saw the post right with the story of the garbage cats.. I also went back into the fundraiser and fixed what AI wrote; I’m sure the link is still in your browser somewhere go have a look and let me know what you think. I’m not going to post the donation link again in respect to what the mod skyler asked until I’m given permission again after posting about the cats currently in my care and with the 45$ that’s been donated already I’m looking to make my first TRN to a cat I named bread next week. See below screen shots removed my friend’s name and picture for privacy.

I am completely willing to be completely transparent with everything I do to try and help any stray animal that means from taking pictures of the trapping to taking pictures after the neutering the releasing the receipts from the vet anything that’s needed. I just want to help.

Also this is bread the cat I’ll be trapping to have neutered next week.

Video of bread below cause he does look a little like my orange cat
