Waffle Needs Your Help

Donation protected
Thank you for coming to this page. The world is on fire and everyone is hurting and in need. I appreciate you taking time out to read Waffle's story.


Waffle is 20 pounds of sweetness, and he has just made it to 2 years old this year. I got him while in school as a rescue, his mother being a feral cat from Connecticut. Waffle is the biggest of his litter, but is a gentle giant. He loves cuddling with his siblings and drinking out of the toilet like a dog. He loves a good box or empty grocery bag. He is also intuitive and sits next to you when you are sad.

Waffle hasn't had major health issues in the past, but this changed recently when I took him to the vet due to his paws looking raw and inflamed. He got put on antibiotics and had been fine, albeit he had to wear a cone of shame to prevent him from licking. 



Last Friday we noticed that Waffle wasn't eating or drinking at all.
I took Waffle to the vet this morning, guessing he was having a minor reaction to the antibiotics as stomach upset is common, but he began going into respiratory distress while in the car. He started breathing very heavily and quickly, as if he were running while in his crate. He laid down and started meowing in a breathy way, and then he peed himself. The vet said he needed to be put on oxygen immediately and told me he was getting so little oxygen that it was likely not  related to anxiety or mental distress. His lungs sound fluidy and they do not know why. Now Waffle needs xrays to determine what is wrong with his lungs, on top of getting an abdomen ultrasound to determine why he is not eating. I am very scared for Waffle. He could not come home with us because he needs oxygen, so I had to leave him at the vet overnight. 

I was not prepared for the vet bill, but I need to pay it so they can at least determine the issue with his lungs. The cost is for overnight hospitalization, oxygen, and lung xrays.

Waffle is a part of my family and I love him so much. Please help me pay for his care.
