Recently I visited Catania in Sicily on holiday, while there I had a daily visit from a beautiful cat family, mum, dad and three gorgeous kittens all between 3 and 10 months.

Sadly Sicily have a terrible problem with stray cats and kittens and these poor babies were really struggling.

Luckily the apartment where I was staying was pretty private so I could feed them which I did 3 times a day.

During the week two of the kittens got locked inside a vent in the building. I fear that they were put there as they couldn't have gotten in there alone. Luckily I was able to gain access and free them.

Since coming home I've been trying to get the cat family a safe environment where they can live out there days.

Happily we've found a sanctuary that will accept all of them but we need help raising the funds to transport them from Catania in Sicily to mainland Italy which I can't afford to do alone.

When I left last Wednesday (24/4) I left enough food for 5-7 days, they live in a part of the building which is pretty secluded but once that food runs out i fear for them as nobody is feeding them.

Please help me get this gorgeous family to this farm sanctuary where they will be safe but can live as strays, free and easy.

We need to raise funds for transport, vaccinations, spaying and neutering for this family of 5.

I know people are struggling with the cost of living but anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
