Hi, my name is Ana, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my dad Elric and his beloved cat, Zuchka (“little bug”)

Through life’s recent changes, Zuchka has been my Dad's constant companion and source of comfort. She’s more than just a pet—she’s his best friend, and brings joy to him each day.

Recently, Zuchka became very sick. She needed urgent veterinary care, but the costs were simply beyond what my dad could afford. He received a donation of $200, which got him started, and he was able to borrow some more which was enough to get the tests and imaging that ruled out a potential blockage but revealed a fatty gallbladder, so further testing may be necessary, and she is not out of the woods yet. In the face of the money he spent and having to repay what he owes, acquiring money for his other pressing financial obligations will be impossible without your help.

We’re only asking for the amount of the most recent urgent care bills: $1,245. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward zuchka’s vet bills, medication, and treatment. If you can’t give, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to.

Your kindness could make all the difference—for my dad, and for the little life that brings him so much love and comfort.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude and love to all,

Ana
