Help Fievel On His Next Adventure!

Donation protected
Hi. My name is Kellian. And this is my cat Fievel. He needs help paying for some upcoming vet bills. Specifically a cardiology work up, and an MRI. I am a veterinarian technician, and even with some discounts, the bills have already started to stack up. And we know there will be a lot more to come in the future. Here is our story: I have been working in the veterinary field for almost 20 years. Spending the greater portion of my life caring for animals in need. I have fostered and hand raised over 30 bottle baby kittens. All while taking care of my own special needs blind cat. Last year, he passed away at 18 of a brain tumor. I was devastated. I said I would only foster, but wasn't ready for my own. After a few fosters, I got a call for an abandoned 13 week old kitten who needed to be fostered/quarantined for a few weeks. And immediately this little guy stole my heart. I knew I was in trouble. But I had some concerns. He seemed a bit "off." Coordination was poor. He also would hyperventilate and faint after playing too hard. So off to the Cardiologist we went. After multiple tests, we were told there were some issues. But nothing "too serious." This all took a couple months to complete, and in that time I fell madly in love. And couldn't think of parting with him. So I adopted him and made it official! Over the past months I noticed his gait worsen and symptoms progressed. As things worsened we went to see a neurologist. After a long discussion. She said a few possibilities. But to know for certain, we need an MRI. And before that, another cardiology exam. One of those highly possible diagnosis is Hydrocephalus. This hit me exceptionally hard. I am familiar with it well. You see. I once had a brother. We were kids when his Shunt malfunctioned and he passed away. I named Fievel, after our favorite childhood cartoon (An American Tale), one we watched over and over. Something about this sweet little kitty reminded me of my brother, and I planned on taking him on many adventures, so I thought it would be fitting. And now to hear they may have the very same diagnosis. He only just turned One this month. And is the sweetest cat I have ever had. I would move Mountains for him. I don't know what his future will hold. But I'm willing to do what I can to make him enjoy as much of it as is possible. His symptoms are progressing (he had a seizure Friday morning) so time is of the essence to get treatment started. But first, we need to do some diagnostics. I know this will not be a cheap process. I'm only asking for help with the initial tests as they are quite expensive just to get a diagnosis. Any help will be much appreciated.
