Anthony Olszewski and friends have been saving kittens and cats for for many years. We intervene where a cat is about to die — like those abandoned to the cruel horrors of the street by heartless owners. We also care for kittens that shelters routinely kill for being “too much trouble” — like Little Blake with ringworm shown here. The Metro Cat Rescue Facebook Page shows just some of the many more cats and kittens that we rescued in only the last few years.
We are formally organized under the name Metro Cat Rescue as a not for profit. All volunteer — receiving neither grants nor tax payer dollars — it’s only with community support that Metro Cat Rescue can save kittens and cats in need.
Our dream is to establish a facility to provide care for homeless kittens and cats with easily treated but contagious conditions — those innocents that now elsewhere regularly are made to die. Sadly, a lack of funds has kept Metro Cat Rescue’s goal on a distant horizon. Without the necessary resources, each day there are cats that we can’t help. Indeed, last summer, there was a dip in donations and adoptions. I would not let the cats go hungry, so I scraped by eating little more than bread, rice and beans myself.
Little Blake the Ouija Cat, is just one of our success stories. On August 20, 2012. she was rescued after being abandoned on Central Ave. near the post office. Too weak to stand, the very young kitten was covered with fleas. She also had an eye infection, ear mites, ringworm and intestinal parasites.
Luckily, the tyke was small enough and the day was warm enough so that her entire body could be dipped in the bathroom sink. The fleas still on the head were carefully removed with a fine comb. And that was the easy part! The other conditions required considerable care and the application of medication.
The second picture is from a couple of weeks later. Strength and confidence growing, Blake here had commandeered the recycling bin as her abode.
Just six months later, Blake has become a regal lady, as she still is today.
Little Blake is only one of the many cats that are happy and healthy today because of Metro Cat Rescue’s quick action.
Please do support Metro Cat Rescue! All too often I’ve had to spend my own grocery money to make sure that the cats are well fed. If Metro Cat Rescue had the resources for more space and basic equipment, there’s so much more that we could do. The donation of a used SUV or van would mean so much. With dependable transportation, we’d be able to save so many more kittens and cats.
It’s secure, quick and convenient to use the DONATE button at GoFundMe. If everyone reading this gave SOMETHING, we’d be well on the way to providing for suffering cats left to fend for themselves. There’s no such thing as a contribution that’s too small. Every bit — little or large — means a lot and makes a BIG difference!
It would be particularly wonderful if you chose to sustain the mission of Metro Cat Rescue by establishing a monthly donation through our PayPal account. The address to use is MetroCatRescue@gmail.com. Any amount will be a huge help. Unfortunately, right now we have no idea what our funding will be next month — or even next week. Helping to make it possible for Metro Cat Rescue to plan for the future will mean so many more kittens and cats will be saved.

Donating any car, SUV, truck, motorcycle, or boat to Metro Cat Rescue helps us help kittens and cats in need — AND can mean a BIG TAX DEDUCTION for you! Metro Cat Rescue still needs a van or large SUV for our own use.

Unfortunately, computers and cell phones over 3 years old can’t be used. (Except for IBM PS2 computers.)
Sad to say, this is an all too common example of community "support." The original feeder lived nearby, but was forced to move when a new landlord ordered her to remove her pet cats. She continued to care for the outdoor cats until building workers threatened her and told her to stay away. A Metro Cat Rescue volunteer started to feed a couple of doors down by a tree. Two visits were made each day: one to place the food and return trip to remove any uneaten portion.Outdoor cats are the first line of defense against the rodents and diseases of urban areas. Only sick and silly minds are upset by their cat neighbors.* * *Metro Cat Rescue coordinates the care of outdoor cats.

Instead of darting in for a quick bite and then running off, Astaire would lounge around after eating, greeting passersby. Clearly tame, Astaire was brought inside.Metro Cat Rescue had recently received a chip scanner. We were very happy when Astaire came up positive for an ID.

MetroCatRescue@gmail.comMetroCatRescue.com#CatRescue #Charity #charityfundraiser #catsLast fall, Dutch started showing blood in his urine. Thankfully, it was still possible back then to schedule a quick visit to the vet. The worry was that Dutch was suffering from a blockage, but tests -- expensive tests -- showed the problem instead to be a bladder infection. Dutch had to be given medicine and for quite some time was weak while recovering. As can be seen from the recent picture, Dutch is now again doing well.There are MANY more cats needing medical attention and care. The sad fact is with money so low that I'm worried about groceries for myself, there's none for more vet visits. Please donate.

Strangely enough -- along with a number of others -- he'd been neutered as a TNR and then dumped in a place where community cats were fed. Not used to life outside, these poor souls had little chance of surviving and were brought in by a Metro Cat Rescue volunteer.

As it stands now, for each and every vet visit -- standard checkups and neutering, too, not just emergencies -- has to be paid for by pleading for help on Facebook. This sometimes means that a sick cat suffers for days waiting for medical attention.Please do support Metro Cat Rescue!

Metro Cat Rescue coordinates the care of outdoor cats. Donate at the Metro Cat Rescue GoFundMe Page so that we can continue to help kittens and cats in need:www.gofundme.com/f/metro-cat-rescue-community-catsA few years ago, Smudge was one of the city cats cared for by a Metro Cat Rescue volunteer. He went missing. The area was searched and the Smudge was found sick and hiding in a pile of garbage. Since the little guy was too weak to eat, a trap couldn't be used. The Metro Cat Rescue volunteer waited until the cat fell asleep and then a net was placed over him. A plastic sign was slid underneath and a laundry hamper placed on top. Another volunteer carried the ailing cat to an isolation area in a warm basement. Smudge was brought to the vet where he stayed for a couple of days -- one on an IV. Now much better, he then returned to the warmth of the isolation area for 10 days. Since Smudge had been inside for too long to go back to life outdoors, Metro Cat Rescue continues to care for him. Smudge is upstairs and happy with other rescues.MetroCatRescue@gmail.com is the address to use to donate through PayPal.Instead of posting questions as comments, email inquiries toMetroCatRescue@gmail.#catrescuee#kittenst#cats##charitya#OutdoorCatsr#neighborhoodcatsd#communitycatsycatsI told Smudge that he had to start exercising.
