A Lifesaving Haven for Homeless Cats: Adam’s Sanctuary for Rescued Cats

Saving Lives Every Day

By Reno CharltonPublished 6 years ago 4 min read

In Egypt, as in many other countries, there are many stray and abandoned cats that roam the streets. While some other countries have plenty of shelters and rescues to help these homeless animals, Egypt has very few resources. This means that huge numbers of cats and kittens wander the streets in despair, many of them suffering an agonizing death from eating rat poison as they rummage through trash in the hope of a morsel of food.

Over recent years, however, one man has been trying to make a difference. Adam Elshorbagy has been trying to care for these pitiful stray cats and kittens since he was just 15 years of age. Having seen so many cats and other animals suffering on the streets, being poisoned and even shot at in a bid to cull strays, he decided to set up his own sanctuary.

He now dedicates all of his own time and resources to helping as many cats and kittens as he can. However, this is something that he has to do alone, with no other funding apart from donations from those who care about the welfare of these poor animals.

Making a Difference

I learned about Adam’s Sanctuary for Rescued Cats just a year ago and have been a supporter ever since. Every day, Adam posts details and images of the cats that have come to him, those who have been with him for years, and sadly those who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge due to eating poison out on the streets among other things.

Like all other creatures, these cats want to survive and in order to do this, they need food in their bellies, and they need medication to treat illnesses. However, many have access to neither, and this means they end up leading very short and tragic lives. There is very little help for these poor cats, and as a result many end up wandering the streets knowing nothing but pain, hunger, and misery until they die alone.

Adam is trying to change this by welcoming these cats into his sanctuary, cooking fresh food for them by going out to markets and sourcing affordable and nutritious food options. He also has to raise money for medication to treat the many sick and injured cats that come through the doors of the sanctuary.

Adam has already made a difference by devoting all his time and energy to caring for these animals, and you can see the gratitude and love in their eyes in the pictures Adam posts on his Facebook site. However, time is not enough, as these cats need food and medication to survive, all of which requires money.

With no outside funding other than donations, this is a charity that is desperate for more money. The lives of these poor cats depend on the generosity of others around the world. Without this, all they have to look forward to is misery, cruelty, and a painful death.

Saving Lives in Uncertain Times

In these uncertain times, many businesses are suffering, and charities, in particular, are being brought to their knees in terms of finances and support. While some countries have strategies in place to help ailing charities, this is not the case in Egypt. Adam’s Sanctuary for Rescued Cats relies on the generosity of supporters, and without this, the cats will be without food, shelter, and medication.

As a non-profit organization, this sanctuary needs our help now more than ever. These are cats that lead very different lives to the pet cats that we all love and welcome into our families. Their only hope is sanctuaries such as this one where they can get treatment, fill their hungry bellies, and finally feel safe and secure.

At Adam’s Sanctuary for Rescued Cats, these felines can finally experience the love and security they have never had before. However, raising more funds on a regular basis is vital in order to purchase essential food and medication – the basics that could make the difference between life and death.

Help Save the Lives of Countless Homeless Cats with Nobody Else to Turn To

The cats that come to Adam’s Sanctuary for Rescued Cats become part of a huge rescue family, which includes a rescue dog, Rene, who loves being around the cats. Every new addition to this sanctuary represents a life – sometimes multiple lives with pregnant cats – saved. While Adam provides the love and time that the cats need, funding is vital to provide the food and medication required.

So, could you help save the lives of countless homeless cats who have nobody else to turn to? Any donation, however small, goes toward saving these precious lives. Those who are able and willing to donate can do so using the following details:

Of course, in today’s digital age, it is about more than simply donating. Adam also relies on supporters to share his posts and raise awareness about the sanctuary. This can also prove invaluable in terms of helping him to continue his great work caring for and feeding the growing number of cats and kittens that rely on the sanctuary to survive.
