For Linus

Donation protected
On March 27th, Seth and I had to rush our beloved cat Linus to IndyVet emergency center. He was very lethargic, barely eating, and not moving around much. The vets discovered that he was severely anemic, and he needed a blood transfusion to survive. Over the course of the next eight days, we did everything we could to help our little man recover. He needed four blood transfusions, a chest x-ray, an abdominal ultrasound, multiple blood tests, and a bone marrow aspirate. Everything came back unremarkable. We had no idea what caused his severe anemia until the bone marrow results came back on April 4th. He was positive for leukemia. Since he was only 11 months old, we were in shock and disbelief. Despite everything we'd done for him, how hard he fought, he was at a point where he could not recover. We had to make the difficult decision to let him rest. He passed away April 4th at 8:45pm, in the loving arms of his favorite person (Seth). He was a sweet, playful soul. We never had a dull moment with him in our lives. He was Seth and my first pet together, and our only boy. He will be missed greatly. We have no regrets about doing everything we could for him, but unfortunately his treatments ended up being quite expensive. We have obtained approximately $12,000 in debt on four separate credit cards. This was not a rash decision, and we understand that we will be paying this bill off for a while. I share Linus's story in the hope that other animal lovers, parents, and friends will be able to help ease the burden of this incredibly difficult time. Thank you to everyone who has offered their words of support in these past weeks. Linus will be loved eternally, and he is resting comfortably until we meet him again.
