Hey there. I'm Brian Sidney, my friends call me Sid, and me and my two cats, Bagheera and Mowgli, have an emergency.

The ceiling collapsed in our apartment from rain and leaks on top of my living room, filling our home with dust, debris, and water everywhere, causing massive structural and water damage.

We need help raising money to pay for major repairs and veterinary costs. Bagheera and Mowgli need to be examined for mold infection or dust complications and ensure they did not get hurt in the collapse. Estimates for the repairs are in the thousands and vet bills are matching that if not more just to get them checked and treated.

They are my lifeline and I don't know what I would do without them. They are senior cats and insurance is not available. I love them so much.

Bagheera is my pretty prince. He loves snuggles but only on his terms, lol. He's shy at first and does not like to be picked up, but boy when that fluff monster bunts your arm its too much to resist!

Mowgli is my rascal runt who is an absolute lover. He has a cloudy eye but that has never stopped him from loving life. I'm lucky he loves being picked up because I carry him around the house.

They both guard me on either side of the bed when I'm asleep so I know I'm safe. I care for them as much as they care for me.

I also need to get back to work to pay the bills and keep the boys fed and taken care of. I work from home so the disruption has been very tough on our routine, and you know how cats love routine.

Please, if you can find it in your heart to donate for a struggling cat-dad and his fur babies we would be greatly appreciated. If you can't donate, please share to spread the word.

It's been a week since living with the open ceiling and every day the cats could be getting worse.

Thank you so much for your assistance. The boys and I treasure your generosity! With your help we can get back to life as usual as soon as possible.
