This is Mercury.

She's a rescue. She went through hell. It took a long time to earn her trust, and she gives her love to few, but fiercely.

She's bleeding. We don't know why.

We have a good vet, but they aren't cheap. Our mortgage jumped up, and students called off this month, so we were already pretty dry. This is far, far more than we can afford.

If you can help save my cat, it would mean the world to me. I'd rather pay it myself. I'd rather be teaching, or working, but here we are, and this can't wait.

Thank you if you can help. Truly.
