Help Mafia, our one-eyed diva

LATEST UPDATE:

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your support for Mafia, I have some a positive update - Doctor Michael called. Using a guidewire sourced from another hospital early (and thankfully so) this morning, they were able to insert the catheter back into the urethra. Urine flow is back now. If it were not for this, Mafia would be under an even worse situation.

No kidney damage for now, they have put him on antibiotics to ensure no infection as a result of the intermediate procedure to remove urine. They will monitor creatinine level to check that no urine is leaking out. Then, observation for the next 7 days. We hope he will stay stable till then, and we are really grateful for your support, this has hopefully reduced the chances of euthanasia that we were fearing. Thank you

This means that the need for surgery has reduced, thus meaning the additional need to spend $25 000 is might not be needed. We will update everyone on how much the subsequent treatment is going to cost.

UPDATE: The original clinic costed us around $8000.

UPDATE: A MISCARRIAGE OF MEDICINE...the original veterinary clinic we originally went to withheld and did not inform us that they incorrectly inserted the catheder, withholding vital information for the past 15 hours, when the complications started to arise. We have only learnt from the specialist clinic rn when the revealed the new vet revealed the notes. This issue was there since YESTERDAY EVENING And we were not informed of it in specificities.

Hi, my name is Arhant, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart for help to save the life of my beloved cat.

Over the past week, my cat has been battling a severe and unexpected medical emergency. What started as straining to pee, crying out in pain, and unusual behavior quickly escalated into a full urinary blockage — a life-threatening condition for male cats. We rushed him to the vet, where he was immediately catheterized and treated. But after a temporary improvement, things took a heartbreaking turn.

It was discovered that he had a tear in his urethra along with severe sterile inflammation. His creatinine levels began to spike, and urine flow was compromised again due to mucus blockage. He's still fighting.

We just, transferred him to a specialist emergency clinic, where they will consider surgical and non-surgical options to repair the tear and protect his kidneys. Without this, we could lose him.

I never imagined being in this situation — but the costs have rapidly climbed beyond what is afforable, we don't have insurance and never expected this. The cost has already climbed above $8000 not even including the specialist :(

If you’re able to donate anything — no matter how small — you’d be helping give him a real chance to heal, come home. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for your love, kindness, and support in this incredibly difficult time.

With hope,

Arhant
