1. In Morocco, Karim is running out of kibble to feed the 150 street cats in his care. They will starve if no-one helps them!
"We have an increasing number of cats, interventions and rescue requests, which requires more resources, food, medication... This time of year, we have slightly fewer cases of coryza, but there are more diseases such as calcivirus and typhus, and a lot of broken bones too.
Some of them are getting enough to eat, while others clearly aren't. We only have six bags of kibble left at the moment, enough to last two or three days. This situation is creating a lot of stress and bitterness, because without kibble, we simply won't be able to feed them, or help the new animals in distress. The consequences would be dramatic.
It's absolutely vital for this campaign to succeed, to help us continue to feed these animals and try to keep up with the rescues, it's truly essential."
2. Forced to live on the streets in difficult conditions, Nala is very skinny and won't be able to get by without kibble...
"As with many street cats, we don't know Nala's story or how she got here. We found her extremely emaciated, so we gave her worming tablets, vitamins and a full course of treatment, and we're keeping an eye on her.
Right now, more than ever, things are complicated for street cats. They suffer from the heat and find it hard to find shelter, and eating leftovers is dangerous for them. Nala's condition is stable at the moment, but she needs kibble to cope properly."
3. Karim's shelter is also home to over 100 cats, weakened by illness, injury or disability. They too need kibble!
"At the shelter, we take in cats that are ill or in poor condition for various reasons. Those with serious illnesses have to stay for at least three weeks or a month; we have to keep them until they get better. And those who have to have their limbs amputated, or who suffer from a handicap, must stay at the shelter for life.
When food is scarce and/or of poor quality, they recover less quickly from their injuries. We can see this clearly in their weight and general physical condition. If we can't find kibble, we won't be able to care for new cats in distress, because we won't be able to feed them. We'll have to sort through the cats already in the shelter, releasing those that can be released sooner than expected, and keeping only those for whom we really have no choice.
We'll really be in an impossible situation if this campaign doesn't succeed."
4. At just 5 months old, Grisou has already been through a serious illness, the after-effects of which are still evident. Weakened, he needs kibble to survive!
"Grisou is a youngster of 5 months, he arrived at the shelter about three weeks ago. He was suffering from coryza, and we had to remove an eye that was too badly affected. Thanks to treatment and a good diet, his condition has stabilised and he's doing much better now, he's a lovely cat.
Even if his progress is encouraging, Grisou is still weakened by the disease, he's still very thin and needs kibble to regain his strength and recover, he won't be able to do that if we can't feed him properly."
5. With the economic crisis, donations have been halved, but the need remains as great as ever. Indebted and at his wits' end, Karim no longer knows how to get kibble!
"We're receiving fewer donations, we can see it clearly from the fundraising, it's harder than it used to be. We're collecting almost half as much, while all prices have gone up, so it's very hard.
As things stand, the shelter is being maintained through debt. We have debts with the kibble supplier, and we also have regular debts for everything related to medical care and the upkeep of the facilities. We've already had to stop doing rescues several times, and stop doing sterilisations to be able to continue feeding the animals, but that's not enough.
I can't find any other solution than this campaign to find emergency kibble for the animals. I've tried all sorts of other ways; for example, we've also tried to collect unsold items from shops, but even those are already reserved."
6. Karim is not asking for money, only kibble to prevent the cats from starving.
"Without our actions, there would be many more animals in distress on the streets. We rescue a lot of them, we intervene, we look after them, we release them, we sterilise them, we don't leave animals in a bad shape on the streets.
The fact that we now have three centres, with hundreds of refugee dogs and cats that we've taken off the streets and given all the care and love they need, is very, very gratifying. It's the greatest of gratitudes, it's the animals who send it to you and that's magnificent, it drives you to keep fighting.
It's important that people support us, because it's a big structure, it requires a lot of organisation and resources, and people have to help each other if we want to move forward."
7. If this campaign succeeds, Karim will not receive any money but 1200 kg of croquettes, delivered from Animal Webaction's logistics platform in Morocco.
Animal Webaction has a logistical platform in Morocco, which allows us to intervene quickly and deliver kibble.
8. Campaigns launched on Animal Webaction often fail...

When a campaign fails, Animal Webaction cannot deliver the collected products, the beneficiary receives nothing and the buyers get a refund...
9. In Morocco, donors are scarce, and there are no foundations or subsidies. It is very difficult to find funding for kibble, many cats remain starving in the street!
