<div>Hi all. <strong>Walter is my 12-year-old cat.</strong> I adopted him from a local animal shelter in 2019. Since then, he and I have been inseparable. In the last two-ish years, he has been having some constant congestion. I took him to a vet twice for the issue, and it resolved with some antibiotics but came back a few months later. I thought it was allergies since it only got really bad in the winter months.

<div>I took him to the vet today, and his ears are bad, but most importantly, his teeth are not the best, and he is suffering from gum disease. Some need to be extracted, and a deep cleaning is required as the vet suspects there could be a polyp in his throat that is causing the severe congestion. <strong>The low-cost estimate for the surgery is $839.29, and the high-end estimate is $2087.43.</strong> I was just recently laid off from my job of 5 and a half years and have been waiting for unemployment benefits. Today, he received an ear cleaning, vaccine, a steroid shot, and an antibiotic medication that I paid in full today, which was $246.

<div>His follow-up appointment on the low-end estimate is $383.25, and the high-end is $452.27. The follow-up appointment would include the blood work to make sure he is able to go through surgery. <strong>I am trying to raise $500 to at least be able to get to his follow-up appointment to recheck his ears and nose, and get more steroids for his inflammation in his gums and ears.</strong> I would like to get his blood work done so we can determine if he is able to have the surgery.

</div>

</div>

<div>Walter is the coolest, loving, and most loyal pet I have ever had, and I hate to see him suffer. Anything you can do to help would mean so much to us!
