Emma Needs Surgery – Help Us With Her Recovery

Hi, my name is Arelis, and I’m reaching out for help with something I never expected to face—my sweet cat Emma needs bladder stone surgery, and the costs are overwhelming.

Last week, I noticed something was off. Emma was visiting the litter box constantly, barely peeing, and eventually left a spot of blood. My heart dropped. I have five cats, and sometimes it’s hard to know who’s sick, but thanks to my Litter-Robot and lots of late-night googling, I realized it was her.

I rushed her to the vet, and after X-rays, they found a bladder stone—too large to pass, and already causing her pain. She now needs surgery as soon as possible. The cost? Over $ 3,000 just for the procedure, plus additional follow-up expenses and medication.

With help, I was able to cover the deposit to schedule the surgery. But the rest of the balance—and everything that’s still coming—is weighing heavy on me. I wasn’t prepared for this, emotionally or financially. I've been giving it everything I have, but this part is bigger than me.

I’m not asking for donations out of luxury or comfort. I’m asking out of love—for Emma. Anything helps, even just a share or a kind word. She’s part of our family, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure she gets the care she needs.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart—for reading, sharing, or simply sending good thoughts.

With love,

Arelis & Emma
