Help Mochi Get Life-Saving Revision Surgery

**Help Mochi Live: Urgent Revision Surgery Needed**

Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Supporters,

Our beloved cat, Mochi, has been through an incredibly challenging journey over the past seven months. Thanks to your generous donations to our initial fund where we raised $1,165, we were able to provide Mochi with life-saving PU surgery to address his severe urinary condition. This surgery was critical, and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for the support that allowed us to save his life with a partial deposit to start surgery.

Unfortunately, Mochi’s recovery has been far from smooth and the bills have continued to surpass our means. Since the surgery, he has faced multiple urinary tract infections (UTIs) and has required ongoing medication. These complications have made his daily life a struggle, and the vets have determined that Mochi needs a revision surgery to correct a stricture that has formed in his urethra. If left unaddressed, the stricture will continue to narrow his urethra and he will no longer be able to empty his bladder. The end result of this affliction would be a ruptured bladder. A threat that would require us to euthanize Mochi, saving him from a painful death. Despite the cost, that simply isn’t something we can accept after everything he’s been through.

The medical expenses have been staggering. We've already spent over $8,600 on his care ($3,600+ on pre-surgery treatments at an emergency vet and attempts to unblock him with a catheter, $3,564 on the surgery itself, $1,500+ in post surgery treatments and medications), and now we’re facing an additional $900 for the necessary revision surgery. After this surgery our current debt will total $7,000+. I have pleaded with Mochi’s surgeon to waive the cost of this surgery to the point that I even offered to provide labor at the hospital. All of my efforts have been denied. This is an enormous financial burden, and we’re once again turning to the kindness and generosity of our community to help recover even a portion of these expenses.
