    I'm not a "real" volunteer in our org - I just help build up the technical infrastructure, and just happen to help cats when I can. Still, it's immensely stressful and taxing - and our volunteers do this sometimes full-time every spring.

    Unfortunately, even with our efforts to sterilize street cats and find human homes for kittens, we are fighting against a massive tide. Without government finance, social campaigning and legislation support, we are merely reducing the damage by absorbing the cost.

    Government support is unlikely to happen due to the far-right turn, but thankfully, the society starts changing ever so slightly. 6/7

    And now, after this doomer post about government policies, it's time to ask for donations.

    Honestly - better donate to trans people to escape US. Go speak to your local cat volunteering and ask what they need. Donate to an independent individual creator. Chances are, that will be a better money spending than a donation to an org in a country with far-right illegitimate government. But shh, no snitching that I ever said that.

    But if you still want to donate for our cause specifically - well, I don't have a personal donation page, so donate to an org I'm part of instead: catebi.ge/en/#donation

    And also, consider that money isn't the only way to help. I consider myself extremely useless - and somehow I'm able to help with my tech skills. So schedule a weekend to contact your local volunteering orgs - and perhaps you'll find that you're exactly the one they were looking for. Perhaps you'll make a world of a difference by doing 10% of what you normally do at work. 7/7
