Save Ollie: Urgent Care Needed for Blockage
Donation protected
Please help save Ollie!
Ollie was a stray cat living outdoors as of Friday 6/27 when I saw him roaming my yard. I went outside to see if he was okay and he ran up to me meowing, practically begging for help. He is a special boy with no tail, extra toes, and a huge personality. I stayed outside with him for 3 hours unsure of what to do, before I finally decided to bring him in. I set him up in my home office away from my other cats, and he was just the most cuddly baby ever. Unfortunately I quickly noticed that he was not urinating at all, and when he tried, he’d only be able to pass drips at a time. He was vocalizing constantly and I didn’t realize he was doing this because he was in pain.
Today, 6/30, I decided something wasn’t right and took him to the emergency vet closest to me. They confirmed almost immediately that he had a full blockage and needed to be admitted to have the blockage removed. I was quoted a low end of $4,700 and a high end of $5,900. I’m a 24 year old who is still pursuing her masters degree, and trying to manage a full time job and 5 of my own cats. My heart is too big to turn away a baby like Ollie, but unfortunately I don’t have the finances to pay for this alone. I was approved for care credit for a portion of the bill but am left to cover the rest.
If you can spare $5, or your daily coffee amount, we would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
Love,
