Help get Cowboy back in the saddle
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I’m fundraising for my very special cat Cowboy. Cowboy came into my life five years ago after being rejected by his first family. He’s a CH kitty, meaning he has cerebellar hypoplasia (also known as drunken cat syndrome) which basically makes him very wobbly. While this can cause some issues, I think it makes him all the more perfect. He is goofy and affectionate and entirely unlike any cat I’ve ever met.
Last week I took him to the Penn vet’s emergency room after noticing a severe loss of weight over the past month and seeing that he was hardly eating at all.
He’s been at the hospital since this Saturday night, where they determined that he has hepatic lipidoais and pancreatitis. Unfortunately the pancreatitis can’t really be treated until the hepatic lipidoais is reversed and he’s got some food in his belly - something that’s hard to do because he doesn’t feel good and doesn’t want to eat.
As of right now he has a feeding tube in hopes that this will do the job that he’s not doing: get some food in him so we can treat the pancreatitis, and then, fingers-crossed, get him feeling alright and send him back home to me.
Obviously all this costs a lot of money. The money from this fundraiser would go to paying off my Cowboys hospital bills. Cowboy means the world to me and I would do anything to fix him. A little support from my friends, family and community would also mean the world to me right now. ❣️
