Help Tweak Recover From Surgery and Fight Medical Debt

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Victoria. I'm 17 years old and I have an eight-month-old cat named Tweak who was pregnant without my knowledge. She gave birth to her kittens on June 4, 2025, but had some complications, unfortunately, and needed surgery in order to survive. Her uterus came out of her body and twisted inside out while she still had a kitten inside of her. The veterinarian said it was a super rare occurrence, but they were luckily able to save her and the kittens' lives.

Unfortunately, though, I now have a nearly $1000 medical bill that I need to pay off, a lot of surprise expenses I wasn't prepared for, and other cats to take care of on top of that. I try my best not to ask for handouts or help unless I really need it, but right now I do. I live on my own and I have bills to pay. I work a minimum wage job and I don’t want to already have debt at 17 years old. I love my cats more than anything, and I would’ve never forgiven myself if I didn’t go through with the surgery and save my baby’s life.

I would seriously appreciate any support anybody could offer. And if anybody wants a kitten, please let me know. Once they're old enough, I will be needing to find homes for them.
