Hi. My name is Ember and I am asking for help with the expenses for my cat Tobio's surgery.

Tobio is 6 yo male Tuxedo cat who has recently been disagnosed with a stone in his bladder that needs immediate removal. The surgery, called a Cystotomy, is estimated to cost between $2200 and $3000 (see attached estimate from the vet). As you can imagine, this is a HUGE expense for a small town cook like me! However, without this surgery he will have to be euthanized, which is just not an option.

Tobio is one big goofball, more like a dog, with a big personality and an even bigger purr! He is much loved by his chosen "sisters" Beanie (the other Tuxedo cat) and Aspen (the dog he shares a brain with). He loves to meet new people, tease the dog, curl up in front of the woodstove and watch the birds from the window - and of course cuddle. If he goes missing you can always find him in an empty box, bag or laundry basket!

I couldn't bear to lose Tobio. If you know anything about me you know how much my furbabies mean to me. Any help would be appreciated more than you know. If I receive more money than is required I will donate to my local animal shelter. Thank you for your consideration.
