My beloved cat Tuxedo has unexpectedly come down with potentially life threatening urinary issues (FIC), and my family and I do not have the funds to get him the immediate help he needs as we are struggling financially due to housing insecurity.
About two days ago, Tuxedo began having trouble peeing and left blood in his litter box. After spending what little funds we had on two separate emergency animal hospital visits in order to check for a urinary blockage, we now know that he needs a Perineal Urethrostomy (PU), a surgery that would not only save his life but also ensure he doesn’t have any future urinary issues. He would have an excellent prognosis.
We have found an amazing animal hospital that is willing to allow us to make payments, but after paying for his emergency diagnostic visits, my family and I no longer have the funds for the minimum deposit needed to book his surgery, despite us all being employed.
I am asking for a minimum of $900 for the surgery deposit. This would allow us to get him straight into surgery tomorrow. A $2,000 donation would fully pay for the surgery and post surgery care and would take a huge weight off our shoulders as we continue working to save and get into a stable home.
This is very time sensitive. We have Tuxedo on anti spasmodic medication in order to ease his pain, but if we can’t get him help in a day or two, we will have to put him down, another service we cannot afford in a humane timeframe.
He is still so happy and full of life despite his condition, and the only thing stopping him from continuing to exist is money. Please help us give him the full life he deserves.
