Hello, my name is Erica and I'm reaching out to request help for my parent's cat, Cooper. They rescued Cooper and his siblings as kittens when they were found in the bed of a dump truck at approximately 5 weeks old. Since then, Cooper and his siblings have filled my parent's lives with joy and happiness.

Cooper has been diagnosed with a small bowel obstruction and needs urgent, life-saving surgery. This procedure is estimated to cost $8k. My parents are on a fixed income and currently caring for my elderly grandmother. They desperately need help in raising funds for this surgery.

If you can't afford to help, please consider sharing this post. Every penny counts in the effort to save Cooper.

Also, If you know of any options for financial aid or grants for emergency pet care in the Riverside, CA area, please let me know.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
