My kitten Topaz is only eight months old, and he means everything to me. He’s gotten all of his shots, he’s neutered, and I’ve done everything I possibly can to take care of him. But this past week has turned into the scariest experience of my life.

About a week ago, Topaz stopped eating. I didn’t realize right away because we have another cat, but once I noticed he wasn’t eating, everything went downhill fast. He’s been nonstop vomiting bile for two days, and as of today, he now has severe diarrhea. He tries to eat anything he finds on the floor — even when I’m constantly cleaning — and I’m terrified he may have an obstruction.

Sometimes I catch him choking and have to pull things out of his mouth. I do everything I can, but he’s still getting worse.

When I took him to the vet, they told me it would be $1,000 just for bloodwork and X-rays, and that doesn’t include treatment, surgery, or whatever he may need to survive. I didn’t have a choice but to walk away with only medication and hope it helps… but deep down I know he needs more than that.

Topaz isn’t “just a cat.” He’s my emotional support, my comfort, and my reason to keep going. I’ve been struggling mentally for a long time, and this kitten truly saved me. I can’t imagine losing him. I don’t want another kitten — I want him. I want my Topaz healthy and safe.

I am asking for help because I can’t afford the lifesaving care he needs on my own. Even the smallest donation means more than you know. If you can’t donate, please share.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me fight for my baby.
