My 18-year-old cat, Figaro, needs vet care, and unfortunately, I’m not equipped for the cost at all. My family and I have been living paycheck to paycheck and haven’t been able to save for if something were to happen, and unfortunately, he is having medical issues that need immediate care. There’s a cyst on the lower half of his face. I will be taking him to the vet and making updates. As of 11/02, he has an appointment tomorrow to find out what’s wrong and what treatment he needs.

I have a quote from the vet, and if it’s not a dental issue the visit will be $300, if it is a dental issue it’ll be over $1000. As I said, he’s also 18 years old, so if end-of-life care is needed, I desperately want to be able to keep his ashes or bury him rather than surrendering him to be put down and never seeing my best friend again.

I love him so much. I found him when he was 10 years old at my 16th birthday party, when only my best friend had shown up. We went outside and were approached by a dozen cats, one of them being Figaro. I fell in love with him immediately. Eventually, the lady who had owned him moved and left him behind, and I was able to rescue him. He’s been my baby for almost 9 years since then. I’ve done my best to give him the best life possible. Please, if you’re able, help me continue to do so

I’ll keep updating as I find out more, thank you everyone and happy holidays
