**No longer on here for donations. This site is purely kept active for my own blog, memories, and reminders of the selfless people who blindly sacrifice without thinking twice. It is for reminders to those who care, donated, prayed--and most importantly a reinforcement of how much it meant to be. And for Ramona, a reminder to never stop giving to save the helpless despite the people that do abuse the system.

I try, but I can't ever go through deleting this page..yet. It's all I really have left of his memories.

I would NEVER think of doing this and you can call me crazy; I admit it is. Clyde means more to me than words can explain. I don't want to have to put him down which is where this is heading :(. He's been admitted once for 3 days in ICU and the bill was over 6 thousand dollars...yes, 6 thousand!!! As most of you know, I had surgery myself and owe well over 3 thousand for that too, not to mention have been out of work for 3 months. He stopped eating and drinking and had surgery to look for an obstruction and they found nothing. Now he's just in constant pain and even more miserable. Still not eating or drinking. Temp is 103.4. Started antibiotics, pain meds, anti nausea, and appetitive stimulants with no improvement. Still never found the original problem why he's not eating. Scan and biopsy negative for cancer.

I don't want to to give up, and would love to admit him to tufts animal hospital within the next couple days. He's too young to let go and I am so desperate to figure out what's wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Even a dollar. PLEASE don't think I'm crazy and just begging for money; honestly I am just desperate and can't imagine letting him go without a second opinion. Hopefully cat lovers out there understand my pain.

Clyde isn't your average cat. He plays fetch, knows how to open closed doors, and follows me around everywhere. There's never a room I'm in that he's not there with me. He sleeps with me every night and is truly like my mini dog. Now he won't even follow me around, no longer comes running to the door, won't play with his toys. All he does is purr when I'm near him and lay in the same spot because of the pain. It's killing me. He's far from a cat that looks like he's dying---he just needs to be figured out. I've been syringe feeding him and giving him fluids to keep him going for now. But that isn't fixing the problem.

I am so behind and at a loss what to do with bills right now. But my cat has been my life for the past 6 years. I know many of you will laugh and think I'm nuts. I also know it's tough financial times out there so if you can't donate I TOTALLY understand. I appreciate you taking the time to read this, truly. But most of you already know I live alone and have no family around or help. All I want is my cat to improve and not have to put him down when he could have a long healthy life. I wouldn't be asking if this were a terminal condition. I also don't expect to receive anything near the goal--as I said even a dollar helps. So please don't pay attention to the goal thinking I'm expecting that much; it's just some of what I owe prior to readmission. But the first visit was six thousand, all I can imagine is the next one being similar. It was about a thousand a day just with medical treatment--not counting surgical. Thanks for your consideration.
