Benito is a gentle, smart, and playful cat who brings so much joy to Andrew, Vlad, and their family. He’s truly their baby, loved by siblings and parents alike. Recently, Benito swallowed a pom pom, which caused a dangerous intestinal blockage. Now, he needs urgent surgery to save his life.

Andrew and Vlad are both working hard to fund their professional degrees, and they don’t have pet insurance. The costs so far have wiped out Andrew’s savings from working as an EMT while pursuing his medical degree. This unexpected emergency has left the family heartbroken and overwhelmed.

The funds raised will cover Benito’s surgery and aftercare, and help relieve the financial stress on Andrew, Vlad, and their family. Any help would mean the world to us. Please, whether you are a dog lover or a cat lover, help in any way you can. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
