Save The Shadow Master

I want to hug my kitten forever and hoping I can do that just a little bit longer, because I'm not ready to say goodbye.

Many of you  in the AZ  Indie film community may know Mr. Shadow very well when he used to sit in on the acting classes when we had them at our home listening attentively and wanting to be a part of the action or in the middle of a meeting. He was never sure what to make of everyone, but was never above demanding to get attention by everyone present in some way. .

So I have a hard thing to ask  since my pride gets in the way but I was encouraged to try this anyways. I need  your help to help my best  fuzzy friend who was there when I went through very rough times and good ones as well . I want to pay it forward to  him for all the joy that he has given me. He has and always will be my champion purrer and comfort. 

Little man has crystals in his bladder which can be removed. Sadly we can't afford the surgery it would take to save his life-quite frankly it is killing me. If he doesn't get it soon his bladder will back up on him and he will pass away in a very bad way.

It's much like a human having a kidney stones, he goes through the same misery even though he can't verbally say how. It leaves his human guessing on where his pain levels are and how to help him

For him, leaving it untreated can lead him to kitty heaven that much sooner.

 What  he needs is called is a Cystotomy. Which  is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made into the cat's urinary bladder.
The procedure can be done for many reasons, the most common being  the doctor getting rid of bladder and urethral stones.

The vet gave us the best deal they could . Some of the listing of cost in most vet's office is closer to $1700 to $2000. Here is part of the price listing we were given.

IV Infusion Pump-$36.00
Anesthesia Monitoring Fee -$48.50
IV Caether placement- $52.00
IDEXX Vetalb Comprhensive  Profile- $130
Cystotomy- $325.00
and many more charges to make the surgury  happen. 

I apprecaiate you taking the time to read this. Even sharing this would be greatly appreciated if that is possible. I know its inevitable we can't hang on forever  to loved one or pets, but I'm hoping today isn't that day for me.Thank you.

Sincerely, 

A broken-hearted pet mom,
