I adopted Lily when she was 7 years old in August of 2024. Her previous owner passed away. When I first met her, she got off of the couch to greet me despite me never having met her before. She will be 9 in March of 2026. She has strabismus, which means her eyes go in different directions, but I think it’s something that makes her even cuter. She used to be over 17 pounds and is now down to 13.1 She loves to lay on my chest and purr and then we fall asleep together. She is the muse for my art. As pictured I painted her as a cat mermaid. She is my calm when everything feels out of control and she is registered through my university as my ESA. This might sound weird to say about a cat, but she is the love of my life and my entire heart and soul. I love her more than anything. Lily has chronic intermittent vomiting. I took her to the vet earlier this month and was told to bring her back if she keeps vomiting, which she has. I can’t afford another vet bill. Her clinic is Mission hospital in MN. We are trying a gi prescription diet and stool softeners, but the vomiting continues. She had an x ray and blood work done previously. Blood work normal. X ray showed constipation I make $11.43 an hour which is minimum wage and I work part time as I’m in school and I just don’t have enough to cover hundreds in vet bills. It would mean so much to see my little daughter healthy again and not vomiting, especially because it’s been going on for a while.
