Saving Vinny

Donation protected
     Hi everyone, My name is Vinny. I was a stray in the neighborhood & was Lost or dumped. I found a new home with Johnny & Suzie,They started calling me "Diesel" because i smelled like diesel hence the name: "Vinny Diesel". My new parents had not expected to adopt me, i kinda worked my way in first ,outside in a little shelter johnny made & then inside on the bed!
    To make a long story shorter, I ended up getting  "Feline Urinary Tract disorder" or "F.U.S."  My parents noticed I was having a hard time using the catbox so when they had me checked by Companion Pet Clininc (the very same day they had to have my russian gray brother euthanized), my doctor said i had a Urinary blockage, requiring emergency care.  Constant care for 2 days at Companion Pet, 2 days overnight for meds & care of catheter & iv  fluids/pain meds, and monitoring.
My mom & dad had to take me to dove lewis each night & pick up in early AM since my catheter had to remain in for several days & companion clinic doesnt not have overnight stays.

The bills have been piling up and my mommy will get them all together for display soon. I will forever more require a special (and expensive) diet.  And if a blockage reoccurs,  I will have to be readmitted and go through this all over again.       
 My mom just retired & dad's a musician
(not that good of a musician), so covering these new expenses, especially with the new healthcare increases for 2017,  will be challenging to say the least.  
       
       The current vet bill & medications all totalled  $1624.55 from Companion pet & dove lewis.  I will have to have special food & care from now on. I really love my forever home & parents. They gave me a second chance at life!  it would mean so much to stay here for all of us & we could use your help as soon as your able to help if you can, if you cant afford to help out with $, a prayer/meditation would be great too!    

     any money we collect will be used exclusively for Vinnys vet bills & future care
