Mr. Grey has been on a feeding tube through his nose. Thankfully, after stabilizing him, he has started eating on his own. The feeding tube is still in place, just in case he relapses.

We did an ultrasound for his kidneys, and they look much better thanks to the IV fluids. The infection in his intestine, pancreas, and liver is also improving. However, his intestines are still not fully healed.

His blood biochemistry, especially the albumin/globulin ratio, looks better now—so we are slowly moving away from the idea that he has FIP. However, his hematocrit levels have dropped, which is concerning. He will stay at the hospital under close monitoring.

So far, Mr. Grey is more stable, has a normal temperature, and we are especially happy that he is eating on his own again.

Please keep him in your thoughts. If you can help with his hospital care, we would be truly grateful. We haven’t received the full invoice yet as he’s still hospitalized, but the cost has already reached $355 and continues to increase.

Thank you for caring🙏🏻

Four years ago, Guildy was hit by a car. She was one of the stray cats we used to feed every day. We found her lying on the ground, injured. She had to undergo surgery on her ear and tail.

Guildy was always a shy cat. She never felt truly happy at the shelter—she was quiet, afraid, and always hiding. She didn’t play with the other cats, and we never received any adoption requests for her. Still, she was okay. She had her corner and lived peacefully.

Then she started losing weight. We did blood tests, but nothing showed. That’s when @kitties.in.paris stepped in. They kindly agreed to take her under their wing and find her a forever home.

Before she traveled, we repeated her tests, and this time we found an infection in her kidneys. She needed antibiotics and special renal food. We explained everything, and @kitties.in.paris still said yes. They welcomed her with open arms.

And something magical happened—Guildy changed. She felt love. She was sweet, gentle, and finally happy. She loved being in a real home.

A beautiful family in France adopted her, even knowing she had kidney disease. Sadly, it turned out her kidney condition was not temporary—it was chronic. But her family loved her anyway.

She spent just three weeks with them… and today, she passed away. Her kidneys failed suddenly, and she had trouble breathing. It happened so fast.

Her adopters are heartbroken. In only three weeks, they gave her so much love—and she gave it back.

We are devastated. But at the same time, we are grateful. Guildy finally knew what it meant to be loved, to have a family, and to feel safe. Not all rescue cats get this chance.

We cannot thank @kitties.in.paris enough for making this possible. Even in her final days, Guildy was surrounded by warmth and care.

Guildy, our sweet girl, you broke our hearts. 2025 has been so hard for us at APC. We’ve lost too many. Now you’ve joined them.
We love you forever. Run free, baby🌈

Mr. Grey was doing really well, but recently we noticed he wasn’t eating properly and wasn’t gaining weight. So we took him to the hospital.

He also had a fungal infection on his skin. After tests, the vet diagnosed him with something called triaditis. This is an inflammation that affects three organs at once: the liver, intestines, and pancreas. It is usually caused by bacteria due to a weak immune system.

His blood test showed anemia, but the ultrasound revealed that his kidneys didn’t look normal. The vet suspects it could be the early signs of FIP or chronic kidney disease, but nothing is confirmed yet.

He is now on IV fluids and being monitored. We are watching closely to see if he starts eating again and how his kidneys respond. If his kidneys improve, it may just be a temporary issue. If not, we’ll need to investigate further.

This bacteria, the skin fungus, and now the possible kidney trouble—all of it may be due to his weakened immune system from everything he’s been through💔

Please keep Mr. Grey in your thoughts. He’s a strong boy, but he really needs your support right now🙏🏻

Once again, we want to reassure everyone: distemper is NOT contagious to humans and not to cats—it is only contagious to other dogs.

We’ve now vaccinated 26 dogs against both distemper and rabies, including dogs from unaffected areas to protect them in advance.
Currently, five dogs are hospitalized. In addition to Pancho, Stella, and Bryanna, we’ve also taken in Salman, who started coughing—a worrying early sign of distemper, as it typically begins by attacking the lungs.

We also admitted a mother dog (still unnamed) whose puppy officially died from distemper. He was found lifeless in a hole💔 The mother has a fever and is showing early signs of neurological issues—a small nervous tic. We are extremely concerned for her.

We don’t know how long these dogs will remain at the hospital. And the challenge doesn’t end there: even after recovery, they must be isolated for 3 months to avoid infecting other dogs.

So far, we have raised $3,140 out of our $5,000 goal.
But we know this won’t be enough. We still need to secure fosters who can handle contagious dogs and ensure proper care—this includes protective clothing, gloves, shoe covers, food, disinfectants, and more.

Please, if you can, even $1 makes a difference.
These dogs are fighting for their lives, and we are doing everything we can—but we can’t do it without you.

Sadly, Lover’s eyes had to be removed—there was no way to save them.

Tuna had his first ear surgery today, during which one of his ear canals was surgically closed. He’ll undergo a second surgery in 10 days to close the other ear canal and he will be officially deaf💔

The procedures went well, and both are now recovering.
But unfortunately, we still haven’t raised enough funds to cover their medical expenses.
We’re still short $435 for Lover and $580 for Tuna.

If you can help in any way—big or small—it would mean the world to us and to them.
Thank you for standing by these precious souls.

First and foremost: Distemper is NOT contagious to humans or to cats.
Please do not panic or fear these dogs—they are not a danger to you.

We’re facing an emergency—no, a catastrophe.

We were hesitant to share this, afraid people might overreact and turn against the dogs, fearing they’re contagious.
But the truth is: we are desperate. We need help, NOW.

Nearly 50 dogs in Karantina have contracted distemper.
Two full districts are affected—and the virus is spreading fast.

Distemper is fatal. There is no cure.
It begins with green discharge from the eyes and nose, progresses to the lungs, then attacks the nervous system, and finally—death.

We already lost one of our beloved dogs.
She was young, full of life, recently spayed, and ready for adoption.
We were preparing her for a new future.
She died suddenly. We’re devastated.

We don’t know how the virus got to Karantina.
Distemper is rare in Lebanon.
There were no signs of new, sick dogs—perhaps the recent sandstorm carried something in. We simply don’t know.

On Sunday, we rushed two dogs to the emergency vet.
It’s incredibly difficult to find isolated hospital rooms—this virus is extremely contagious among dogs.

Pancho, who was healthy just a week ago, is now hospitalized.
He’s weak, disoriented, has blurred vision, and mucous discharge. We thought it was just sandstorm irritation. But it was distemper.

Stella, from another district, showed signs in her eyes too.
We thought someone had injured her.
She refused food, seemed weak—again, we didn’t realize it was distemper. Now she’s also hospitalized.

We are heartbroken. We are overwhelmed. We’re doing everything we can, but we can’t face this crisis alone.

We need your help—urgently.
Pancho and Stella are fighting for their lives.
Over 50 dogs are at risk.
Our plan is to immediately vaccinate every dog not yet showing symptoms.
But we need resources, fast.
Please—donate, share, support.
Time is running out💔

We found Sasha when she was just a kitten—shy and quiet. She grew up at the shelter, and while she became a truly beautiful cat, something about her seemed to draw the wrong kind of attention from the others. Despite having a shelter full of social cats, Sasha was relentlessly bullied. We never understood why.

We tried everything—introductions, slow re-socialization, even temporary separations—but nothing worked. She remained scared, withdrawn, always hiding. So we kept her isolated, not out of choice, but to protect her.

Then came a miracle. A dear friend connected us with a kind family in Spain looking to adopt a cat—one that needed a little extra love. We told them about Sasha, and they didn’t hesitate. They understood she wasn’t the kind of cat who’d come running to greet you. They chose her anyway.

Today, Sasha lives in Spain with the most loving, patient family we could have hoped for. She’s still healing. She doesn’t like being held yet, but she no longer runs or hides. She stays in the same room. She’s gaining confidence. Slowly, she’s learning that she is finally safe.

To her adoptive father: we can’t thank you enough. Most people pass on the shy ones—the ones who don’t come forward. But you saw Sasha and gave her a chance. You saved her. And that means everything to us.

A final thank you to her travel partner, @celineabdoo .
Your help made a difference in Sasha’s life♥️

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
