Please help me save my cat’s life.
I hate to ask for help like this but I don’t know where else to turn. My cat needs lifesaving surgery and we don’t have the money. Our Care Credit cards are maxed out from our cat’s previous emergency treatment for urinary blockage. It’s painful, recurring, and if left untreated, all he can do is curl up in a corner and wait to die an agonizing death. Even if treated, it will keep happening (this is his third or fourth time going through this.) He needs a perineal urethrostomy surgery which costs almost $1,000.
The only vet clinic where we can afford to take him will not accept a payment plan. We have no credit cards to use. Our mortgage is past due. We can bite the bullet to pay off the mortgage by the end of the month or pay for our cat’s surgery, but not both. Like always, his symptoms came suddenly, and despite our best efforts with helping him drink lots of water and switching him to a urinary health food, he still has this condition.
Please consider donating. I don’t want to give a sob story but we’ve been through so much. My mother was in the hospital recently to have her cancerous esophagus removed. She got pneumonia and was put on a ventilator, and the doctors said she would likely die. She stayed in the ICU for a month and a half before they moved her to the main floor and then to rehab. It was 90 degrees and storming outside the day of her surgery, and when she finally felt fresh air on her face again, it was a blizzard outside. My partner and I cared for her during that time but we took a financial hit from it.
On top of that, we had to euthanize our dog during that time. Our dog developed respiratory symptoms out of nowhere and we took her into the vet, but the medicine didn’t work and she got worse fast. She had started to go blind the morning we took her back. What they thought was a simple respiratory infection was metastasized cancer. We had no idea. It devastated my partner, who still cries about it eight months later. Our dog was still young.
Please. Any amount helps. I don’t want to fail my cat, too. I don’t want us to have to choose between all of us being homeless and saving my cat’s life. This isn’t how we normally live, we’re just stuck in a very tight spot and we could use any help you could possibly give.

One person has donated so far. I won’t give you a shout-out by name because I don’t know who you are or if you’re cool with that, but I saw it and I thank you.
The earliest availability the vet has for surgery is Monday. We’re going to try to get him in then and just hope he doesn’t get worse over the weekend. If he does, we’ll have to take him to the emergency vet, which I hope we don’t have to do because they’ve explicitly said they don’t do payment plans either.
Please reblog if you can’t donate. Our dog was 8 when we had to euthanize her. This guy is only 8 now himself and has no other health conditions whatsoever, and is so full of life and love for his humans and siblings. He’s also the smartest cat I’ve ever met and has a great personality.
Please donate if you can. Thank you all.
I don’t know if anyone is out there in tumblr-land, but please help this guy out. Even a little bit helps. No kitty deserves to die like this.
Thanks. 💕
