Join us to help Fatim save countless injured cats in Morocco |
|
|
You Can Save Me Shelter—founded by three brave young Moroccans, including the compassionate Fatim—stands as a lifeline for nearly 150 cats who’ve been abandoned, beaten, or broken. With zero government support and no major backing, they rely entirely on donors like you to keep going. This is where your love turns into healing.
Why Morocco’s Cats Desperately Need Us- Cats in Morocco are often treated as vermin. From poisonings to road injuries, the cruelty they endure is staggering. They suffer alone, invisible to most. But Fatim and her team are changing that—offering compassion in a country where animals often receive none.
One supporter wrote: “We brought a sick stray kitty to them—they were kind and accepted her right away… a real place that rescues the cats.” |

She Couldn't Cry for Help—Her Jaw Was Shattered |
|
Earlier this month, a silent soul was found lying under a parked car. Her jaw had been crushed in what we suspect was a hit-and-run. She couldn’t eat, couldn’t meow—she could only tremble. The team rushed her into emergency care. She is now safe, but her surgery and recovery are just beginning. |

A Swollen Tumor, a Race Against Time |
|
Just days later, another call came in. A cat was spotted dragging herself across a dusty alley, her side swollen grotesquely by an untreated tumor. She had been living like that for who knows how long. The pain must have been unbearable. Thanks to your past support, the shelter could intervene immediately—another life saved from silent agony. |

She Had No Eyes Left, and Her Jaw Was Broken Too |
|
The hardest case this month came unexpectedly. A cat was brought in after being found on the roadside. Her eyes were gone—likely the result of abuse—and her jaw was fractured like the first. She was terrified but alive. To hold her is to hold the weight of what humans have done… and the love it takes to undo it. |

No Kill. No Excuses. Our Pledge to Every Animal |
| At Animals First Aid, we stand by a core belief—we do not euthanize animals unless suffering is truly beyond hope. We fight for the elderly, the injured, and the misunderstood. So does You Can Save Me Shelter. It would have been easier to say no to the next emergency. But they never do. |

Why Cats Matter—To Nature, to People, to Us All |
| They we must understand that often overlooked, cats play a vital role in Morocco’s ecosystem. They help control rodent populations, safeguard stored food, and reduce disease. These silent workers are essential to balance and health in both cities and villages. When we protect them, we protect everyone. |

We Need Your Help: $3,700 Urgently Needed |
| This month’s cases have brought financial strain to the shelter. The surgeries, medications, diagnostics, and long-term care required to save these four cats demand urgent resources. We must raise $3,700—around £2,900 / €3,400—to continue providing lifesaving support. Your gift could be the next rescued cat’s miracle. Your support could mean a life saved instead of a life lost. |

| A Light in the Dark—One Cat Treated, One Life Healing |
| Amid the sorrow, there is hope. One of the cats rescued last month—also suffering from facial trauma—has completed her treatment and is beginning to trust again. She follows Fatim around the shelter and has even begun to purr. She is a living reminder that healing is possible. But healing comes with a cost.
