Fundraiser for Bear and Teddy' Emergency Vet Costs

Donation protected
Update - My other cat, Teddy was just diagnosed with cancer and his outlook is not good. I am adding him into this fundraiser to cover the associated costs for his care. He had fluid around his lungs and that is caused by cancer. They drained the fluid and said I should make him comfortable and monitor him for end of life time. The vet said any interventions might give him a little time but would not change the outcome - which is that he will not live very long. 

In the fall, my beautiful cat, Bear, had a urinary tract blockage and needed two emergency surgeries. He blocked and then re-blocked so he went through a catheterization procedure and then a surgery to widen his urinary tract. The major surgery was paid for by a dear friend of mine but there were a lot of emergency vet and care costs for him that I have left to cover - hospitalization and 24 hour care for 5 days. If you are unfamiliar with veterinary care - this is all very expensive. I had some money in savings but not enough to cover this and had to use a medical credit card to pay for Bear's care. This card needs to be paid or I will be hit with a very high interest rate. 

I know times are tough and we are all dealing with the pandemic. the election and all of that but donations in any amount will help with this - no donation is too small. Bear still needs a lot of care right now and his diet will be forever changed - more expenses for that too. I have never done a fundraiser before and never imagined I would need to but here I am. I hate asking but really appreciate every donation that I get. I know this is a difficult time so any amount you can give is appreciated. I have posted the bills I am dealing with so you can see that he legitimately got the care and that this was a very real situation. 

I want to thank you for reading this and thank you for clicking through. We are all in this together. Stay safe and healthy at this time. 

Best to you,
