So I moved to the island of Corfu last year because my grandparents had a house here and rent was ridiculous in Torontoā¦ in a year since Iāve been here Iāve bottle fed 16 kittens which were abandoned or thrown in garbage bins ( I have more photos of all) 7 which unfortunately didnt make it ā¦because when theyāre that young and they donāt have their motherās milk they most of the time fade. Anyway, I am rambling the government hasnāt put any funds aside for trap and release this year at all and thereās 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 allā¦ I just canāt ā¦but I want to do more so I started a fundraiser campaign but Iām a fucking loner who lives on a Greek island with now 14 cats š« so I donāt 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 hereā¦
Edit** So moderator reached out to me and because āsomebodyādoesnāt 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 Iāve rescued before being allowed to post a donation link again. So what Iām gonna do starting tomorrow is post about each group of cats that Iāve rescued and now live with me personally and their journeysā¦ and once I build up community and trust, Iāll be allowed to post a donation link again. So stay tuned for lots of cat pictures from me and their storiesā¦ our story. Thank you guys in the end itās all about the cats.
I am confident that this is the link that the human above tried to post

Yeah, youāre completely wrong. Not scamming. The only thing youāre right about is that I havenāt thought it through properly because I didnāt think I could get any support but now that I know itās a possibility Iām gonna properly plan.
Oh pictures of a bunch of cats. That proves everything.
Why do you need $100K? What will you do with that money? It says on your page that itās āpotentiallyā going to be used for some kind of cat sanctuary. What kind of documentation will you provide to show what you do with the money? Do you have actual documents or something you can show that can be verified instead of a bunch of cat videos? I can get a dozen cat videos myself and put them up and write a sob story, people literally do this shit all the time.
Sorry for being suspicious, but no, Iām not. Iāve seen this before. Show all the receipts, be transparent, and Iāll donate myself.
I am not after you, I am after scammers in general, and if you can prove your intentions, then sure weāll donate. Otherwise, it sounds a lot like a scam.
I can get receipts of what I already spent on the cats Iāve rescued from my vet but Iām not asking for donations for that. Iām asking for donations to help other cats. The cats that Iāve kept are my responsibility now financially Iāll cover them. But I canāt afford to help anymore cats than I already have which is where the fundraiser comes in. When I trap bread next week and have him done Iāll provide all the receipts.
Edit: Also I respect the not after me part and after scammers which is why Iām trying to be as responsive and abiding as I can. Like I said I just wanna help these poor little things. Itās also why I included videos of myself feeding the cats and even sent my actual government ID to skyler which matches the fundraiserā¦

Let me know if this is transparent enough for youā¦ Iām trying š¤·š»āāļø
Removed by mod
Well you seem like a legitimate sponsor then. Is this still about cats or your ego? Post the receipts, or stop asking for handouts.
Do you want receipts from the cats that Iāve rescued? I have never said that I wouldnāt post receipts updates or be entirely transparentā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
For wanting verification?
Please stop asking the internet for money.
No, for not seeing the verification with your eyes and instead continuing to make assumptions, but donāt you worry little man. Iām gonna accomplish what I need to do, if thereās motherfuckers on the Internet asking for donations for stupid stupid shit I think getting a community together to help some poor innocent animals isnāt such a horrible thing. So no Iām gonna show off the cats that Iāve already rescued and Iām gonna continue to try to source some funds to help as much as I can. While you type behind your computer as a failed detective
