FREYA SAVED ME. NOW I NEED TO SAVE FREYA!
I am asking for your help with lifesaving surgery for my cat, Freya. 
On May 10, 2015, a friend found Freya in a parking lot. She reached out on social media looking for someone to take her. Within 30 minutes of the post, she was in my arms and we were on our way to her forever home. A little over a month later, on June 17, 2015, my world came crashing to the ground. My beloved black Siamese mix, Boo, passed away. I have multiple health issues and he was always there to help me recover from surgery, calm my anxiety, lift my depression and help ease some of my chronic pain all with his magical purr therapy. He never let me out of his sight. He was my rock, and his death left me devastated.
Here she is trying to cozy up to Boo. I don't think he was too happy about it. 
Freya picked up some of the mantles he left behind. She a watcher. One of those cats who check on her humans every few hours, day and night. Many times I found myself in tears and she was always there to try and calm me. She was always there to offer purrs when they were needed.
A few days after Boo crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I looked at Freya and realized she was pregnant. Suddenly, there was a feeling of hope in the household. She gave birth to six kittens on July 9, 2015. She and the kittens provided a welcomed distraction to my grief. I had to focus on the 6 little lives and mama. She and the babies helped me to crawl out of the depression that I had fallen in.
Of the 6 kittens, we kept two. Here's a family photo. Zelda on the right and Greybear on the left with Freya in the middle. All 3 are fixed. I believe in spaying and neutering. So much so that my Mom and I used to do catch and release to cats dumped in the VFW around her home. We'd try to place them in a forever home. It wasn't always possible, so some were set loose. At least they couldn't add to the population anymore. 
She saved me on so many levels. Now, I need to find a way to save her. Here's a picture of us together earlier today .
On January 3rd, Freya walked up to me in the kitchen and urinated blood on the floor. Immediately, I got her into the vet. After an exam and x-ray, she was diagnosed with a kidney stone. The vet gave me an estimate for surgery that ranges from a low of $893 to a high of $1257. Surgery meant that she would be back to her old self in days, but the amount was definitely out of my budget. We left the vet's office $300 lighter but with prescription food, instructions to modify her diet and hope the stone would possibly break up.
You can see how big the stone is.

She was doing well up until about 2 weeks ago and is now in a steady decline. This is not something I can financially handle right now and it's killing me.
I took this on Monday, 2.11.2020. She's so skinny and looks horrible.
I have never been one to skimp on my animals' medical care. Boo was diabetic and insulin-dependent for 4 years before his death. Unfortunately, my disability income and a small part-time job (4 hrs a week) aren't enough right now. My husband has been a substitute teacher for 4 years and isn't always able to find a job each day. He will graduate in May with his Master's Degree in Special Education, which will open doors to permanent employment. We have recently had to pay expenses for his final semester of college, including two licensing tests that he needs to take to start his classroom placement. The 72 hours he needs to fulfill won't be paid, either. In addition, we are just catching up on the Christmas Holidays. Subs aren't paid for any of those days off. 
I am asking for $1500, due to GoFundMe taking out fees and in case something goes wrong during surgery. I can get her scheduled for surgery with $900, as the vet can assist $100 through Sarah's Paws With A Cause
In addition, the One Health Organization will help with a $250 voucher, but the process is slow and done by mail. The application was sent out to me today. I don't know if we have the time to wait for it. The vet also isn't a participating provider, but they are looking into what they need to do to become one.
The vet's office has told me that if I can raise the funds, they will get her in ASAP at one of the 7 offices or work her in at the Seville Wadsworth location.
Please help me save my baby girl. If we don't get help soon, she will be gone. I am prepared to have her put to sleep if I must. When I lost Boo, he had a seizure and had to be put to sleep. Holding him while he passed was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am terrified of having to do it again, but I won't let her cross the Rainbow Bridge alone. 
If we can't raise the funds in time, I will donate them to Sarah's Paws With A Cause, so others can benefit from the help.
Any vet receipts will be posted as Updates. I want to be 100% transparent. You work hard for your money. I don't want to abuse your trust.
