Hi friends and family. My cat Sirius (3.5 years) had emergency foreign object surgery last month. The same day, the motor in my car seized, and I had to take on a new, unplanned car payment. Besides a double ear infection a week after surgery, Sirius has been recovering well, and thankfully I had some pet insurance money to help out a bit.

Today, he is back at the vet. He has not been eating, and I have done everything I can to make sure he wouldn't eat another dang hair tie, so we are unsure what is wrong. He has already gotten an xray and now needs bloodwork and an ultrasound amongst other things. Because my pet insurance already paid out my max $2,500 for the year and I still had to pay thousands more, I am back to square one with another few thousand in vet bills. Sirius is so young, and this has been one of the most stressful and anxiety-inducing couple of months of my life. "When it rains, it pours," but it seems like it is a never-ending storm, and I am trying so hard to find extra ways to make money on the side while still maintaining my life/job, but it is just reaching the point of too much - and I need some help. If you can give even $5 to help alleviate the mountain of bills, it would mean so, so much to me. Just the diagnostics are costing me about $2,000.

Thank you. Love you.
