Save Panchito: Urgent Surgery Needed
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Bryan Torres. I am the proud owner of Panchito the cat. Panchito is a cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart. His presence in the household keeps the family in high spirits, and he is an important member of the family. Panchito is loved by his family and by those around him.
Recently, Pancho has been running into medical issues that, if left untreated, can result in a fatal medical emergency. On Monday, June 9th, Panchito was taken to the veterinarian because his urethra was blocked and he couldn’t urinate. My family could not afford the hospitalization fees associated with his condition, so we ended up getting him unblocked and took him home with medication. At home, he still couldn’t urinate, which caused panic in the family because we could not find a place we could afford to take him. On Wednesday, June 11th, my family was able to find a more affordable veterinarian, and we were able to get him unblocked again. He stayed at the vet's for three nights.
After hospitalization, we took Panchito home on Saturday, June 14th, and have been keeping him under a watchful eye as well as administering his prescribed medication.
This brings us to the present date. Panchito has been straining to pee again, and there are symptoms he may have another blockage. We called the vet, and they told us we must take him in to have emergency PU surgery in order to widen his urethra so he can pee properly once again without the fear of getting blocked.
Panchito's PU surgery is going to cost $3,000, and our family has already spent $3,400 on veterinary fees. At the moment, we cannot afford his surgery, and we are worried because without the surgery, his condition may worsen and become fatal. My family and I are asking for your help to please help save Panchito! Any small amount helps, and please share with family and friends! I will be forever grateful to those who are able to support our cause to get Panchito his surgery!
