Storm is a sweet, docile, loving young kitty at the ripe age of 4 years old and has already been hospitalized for urinary blockage issues three times in his young life. Urinary blockages are detrimental life threatening emergencies in cats, particularly male cats, and can lead to death if not quickly treated.

The bond I’ve formed with this cat is unspeakable and I love him beyond words; there is no limit I would not go to for my furry friend. This being said, putting thousands of dollars into my fur baby over several hospital visits, as a full time student only able to work a part time job, does become financially taxing; even with the aid of pet insurance.

Some might diminish a pet to “just an animal”, but my boy has shown me unconditional love over the years and I fully intend to return that tenfold. I want to be able to ensure my baby is able to receive the full care he needs to recover.

If you want to learn more about this condition (which I highly recommend if you own a male cat!), I implore you to read this article if you wish to familiarize yourself with its severity.
