Max Needs Your Support for Healing

Donation protected
Hi. I'm raising money to help my cat Max. Max has a urinary blockage and is currently at the emergency vets since early Saturday morning. He's had emergency procedures to remove the blockage, but his kidneys have taken a hit and the numbers are not good :( the emergency vet will only release him if he can go straight to his regular vet. His regular vet cannot fit him in till Tuesday, so that means 2 more overnights. I am a responsible pet parent, I know he is my responsibility and I will be sure everyone gets paid, but this is an extreme financial burden for me. I'm hoping there are a few kind, generous, cat lovers out here who could help a little to relieve some of this this burden. I'm so thankful for this site giving us this option when the chips are down . I have used go fund me to donate, and never thought I'd be using it to ask for help, but here I am. His total bill will probably be close to $5k, if not over, I certainly don’t expect you to cover it all, I made my request for half. I'm am greatly thankful for your help during this time. Max is a good boy. He's gentle and loving. I thank you for your time reading this, Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. That is what means the most to me, a full recovery. I know there are people dealing with worse than this, and it hurts me to even set this up but I dont know what else to do.
Thank you.

Max is a rescue from the local animal shelter. Have had him since he was a kitten. He's such a good boy. He will be 14 years old in April.

UPDATE 1/13/25: definitely signs of improvement, thank you all for your prayers. His kidney numbers are coming down, hopefully that continues. A few more steps after the numbers are closer to normal...remove the catheter and he has to urinate on his own..then he can come home. New special diet and all should be well, with no surgery required at this time, whew! Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you so much, we really appreciate you.


Update 1/15/25.. he's home! Thankbyall so much for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. And many many thanks for your contributions, it is truly appreciated. Love you all.

Update: Max was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. He is home, eating and drinking..and using the litter box. He loves his new prescription food, so that is a plus. He is on 2 medicines..and the antibiotic is causing some diarrhea, the vet is prescribing a probiotic. I go home between jobs (yes, I work multiple jobs!) to check on him, and make sure he has peed. He will need to go back to emergency vet if there are any issues. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts, we're almost there! This has been an unbelievable ordeal, and a huge financial burden :( if you are unable to donate, please share this go fund me request with your social media followers, we really appreciate it. Thank you again for your prayers, and your generous donations. Your thougtfulness means the world to us. It truly pains me to ask for help, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
