My name is Pablo Torres, I live with my family in a house with 4 different pets including my 2 year old cat James, my nearest and dearest companion and my special little guy.

On Sunday, December 14th, we noticed James acting unusual. He kept walking to and from his litter box without actually going to the bathroom which he would then just lay in and wouldn't leave. Obviously something wasn't right with him. We had to take James to an emergency vet where we found out he had a urinary blockage that had to be treated immediately. While I could not afford to pay for the treatment out of my own pocket I was able to set up a credit plan to be able to get him the treatment he needed.

While they were able to drain the blocked urine from James' bladder, that was not the end of it. The vet recommended that he be hospitalized for a few nights, which could easily cost us at least $3,000 more dollars that we don't have. As much as it pained me to refuse there was just no money in our budget for hospitalization. The vet was at least able to give James some fluids and gave us some medicine to help his urinary tract before we left. This alongside another vet who will give James more fluids every day we return have helped his condition maintain somewhat stable, although we are not sure how much longer this could last. We're doing what we can with what we've got and we're just trying our best.

Your support will all go towards helping James get better. Funds will help cover his treatments, medicine, and if all goes well possibly even hospitalization. I cannot stress how much your support means to us. If you cannot donate then please at least just share around if possible. Thank you so much for your time.
