Help Matcha Get the Ultrasound She Needs

Donation protected
Hi! I’m Sasha, Matcha’s human. My girl is 4.5 years old, a total sweetie, and a notorious tummy ache girly. She’s had some form of stomach issue on and off since she was around 1 years old. At first her vet and I thought it was due to not enough liquid in her diet, so I added a bone broth topper to her kibble (she hates wet food, we’re working on it). That helped the issue for a little while, but her puking eventually came back.

The next thought was that she was eating her food too fast, so I spent a small fortune on replacing all of her bowls with raised ones and slow feeders. Again, the change helped only temporarily before she started puking after meals again.

Matcha had a vomiting fit the day before Halloween that was more violent than I had seen before. I’ve never seen a cat projectile vomit before. It was so powerful that it left her coughing and gagging for a good minute afterwards. It’s left her with some nausea and acid reflux symptoms. The vet and I have had enough and we’ve ordered her an abdominal ultrasound to get to the root of the problem and to assess any damage.

The issue is, I’ve already spent a solid chunk of my last paycheck on her most recent visit and her bloodwork, which was around 400$. Pet insurance only reimbursed me for 115$. The quote for her ultrasound is estimated to be in the 600$s but could be as high as 800$.

I have around 500$ squirreled away but I need help covering the last little bit. This is something that can’t wait until my next paycheck. Anything that’s left over from what I spend on the procedure is will go towards her prescription pet food which costs around 100$ a pop.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading! Matcha is my best friend and my soul animal, and I’m really hoping that this procedure will help her feel better and enjoy eating again.
