Support Riley's Life-Saving Surgery

Hello Everyone,

I am Nastassia Bobadilla. You may know me as a friend, family member, colleague, or other. No matter how you know me, you might know that my cats are my everything. I am a cat mom of 3 furballs. Unfortunately, one of my babies (Riley) is currently having severe medical issues.

Our little Riley came into our life during the Covid pandemic. Once a stray, she quickly became an important part of our family. She brought hope and light to our household during a dark, unpredictable time.

Unfortunately, Riley is experiencing frequent ureteral stones which are creating blockage prompting immediate care. Her kidneys are taking the impact of the blockage leading to her renal failure. Hospitalization and at-home treatment has proven to be unsuccessful as she continues to produce ureteral stones. Our only option left to keep our baby thriving is a subcutaneous ureteral bypass surgery (sub). This surgery will give Riley another chance at having her life extended by providing her with an alternative pathway for urine to flow from the kidneys to the bladder, bypassing a blockage in the ureter.

Riley means the world to us and we have been doing everything we can to best support her. Her blockage is time-sensitive and everyday more damage is being caused to her kidneys.

This unexpected major expense has put a strain on our medical journey as we cannot afford the surgery on our own. Her surgery is quoted at a cost of $13-16k at Laaser (Los Angeles Animal Speciality Emergency & Rehabilitation). I realize that the cost of the surgery is out of my reach, but I am dedicated to doing what I can to save Riley.

With that being said, it would mean the world to have support in any way possible.

If you cannot donate, please share.

Thank You,

-Nastassia Bobadilla and Family
