Merlin is my beloved 3-year-old short-haired cat, gray and white, who has always brought joy and comfort to my life. Recently, Merlin stopped eating and drinking and began hiding under the bed during a holiday. He wasn't using his litter box, and I knew something was seriously wrong. Worried for his health, I took him to an emergency vet, where they discovered he had developed an infection from an old wound. Merlin received IV fluids at the clinic and constant care to help him recover.

The costs for Merlin's treatment are overwhelming. Donations will go directly toward covering his clinic stay, IV fluids, blood work, X-rays, and sedation. Every contribution will help ensure Merlin gets the care he needs to heal and come home safe and healthy.

As a full-time student paying for my own tuition, money is very tight. I only work weekends, and this unexpected vet bill is more than I can manage alone. If you can help or share Merlin's story, it would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
