Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help with our sweet cat, Michael. He’s currently in the emergency vet hospital fighting for his life and in need of an exploratory surgery to determine what’s causing a serious obstruction in his abdomen.

He hasn’t been eating for days and has become extremely weak. The vets believe he may have ingested something that’s causing a blockage, and without surgery, he may not survive. The cost of the emergency care, diagnostics, and surgery is overwhelming, and we’re doing everything we can—but we can’t do it alone.

So far, we’ve spent $4.2k on ER visits, bloodwork, and medications. The estimated cost for surgery and continued hospitalization is $16k.

Michael means the world to us—he’s not just a pet, he’s family. He’s been with us through everything, and we just want to give him the chance to pull through.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every dollar helps, and even if you’re not able to give, just sharing this with others could help save his life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can offer—our hearts are with you.

With gratitude,

Letty & Jose Ortiz
