    Simple Economist_544 • 2d ago Call your local shelters or vet, and see if they offer any assistance. My vet has an assistance program set up for things like this, where people can pick up food from donations. ها 1.6K

    beepbeepjenn • 2d ago Your best bet is to post on an app like NextDoor explaining you're in a tough spot. I can guarantee someone will offer you some food. It's a neighborhood app and they love animals! And don't feel embarrassed; I see posts like that all the time. Best of luck to you and your beautiful kitties. 1K 1K

    stymiedforever • 2d ago Yes, shelters always need extra hands!! A win/win. I used to visit a cat shelter and just sit with the cats and brush them and pet them for socialization. But cleaning kennels or facilities, helping with admin work, dog walking, washing towels or other laundry, there is always tons of stuff. And you meet the nicest people! ✩ 103

    britneyxo 2d ago The fish or some chicken cooked plain should be fine temporarily. Canned plain (no added sugars) pumpkin is good for their digestion too if you have any. 186 ...

    toastie_boyy • 2d ago Seconding this, we boil chicken plain and give it to them after it cools. They get a nice treat, I don't worry about my kitties being hungry 61

    knoxguylkng • 2d ago You can bake, broil or grill the white fish, just be sure it's unseasoned and there are no bones. Canned tuna, in water, will also work. To that, you could add some plain, unseasoned and boiled white or brown rice or even oatmeal. If you

    happen to have some canned or frozen peas, carrots or green beans you can microwave or boil them and add to the dish. While a bit expensive at the moment, cooked eggs can be added as well if you happen to have some in the fridge.

    Glitterbombinabottle 1d ago Hey I'm hoping you'll get to see this I'm so happy you were able to get something! Please also look into the Purina app, they routinely send coupons for free food. You "redeem" 0 points for them on the rewards screen! Not fast but something.

    missjeffery OP • 1d ago Thank you for this advice! I'll definitely look into it

    kuzeshell 2d ago I agree, you are both doing the best you can for the lives you love - there is literally nothing better we can do for them - Asking for help is in no way an easy thing to do - no need to be embarrassed, you got this!
