Since moving back to Washington in May of 2025, Phineas(15) and his newly adopted brother Sorin(8), have gotten a severe case of fleas that I haven't been able to get rid of. I have tried flea drops, and they are currently wearing Seresto Flea collars as of January 10th. The fleas have not eased up at all, now both of the boys are flailing uncontrollably, multiple times a day. Starting last night, Phineas has started to urinate on himself during these fits. This is not healthy for the cats or myself, I have been severely injured twice from trying to help Phin away from danger during his episodes.

I desperately need to take both of the boys to the vet but I currently don't have the funds. I'm a young adult who has not had any credit cards, I do not qualify for Care Credit or Scratchpay due to no credit history. I'm completely in the dark with how vet visits can/will go, so I am asking for $750 to care for the both of my cats($325 each); to at least get some treatment started and to cover future medications. It hurts and brings me to tears daily seeing how much discomfort they are both in.

I got Phineas as a gift for my 7th birthday and he has been my shadow ever since. He has stuck with me through multiple moves, live events, graduation, and entering adulthood. In his very old senior years, I want to provide for him and give him the best help I can so he is comfortable. Sorin is a new addition to the family, so I'm totally unaware of his story, but I quickly learned he is the biggest velcro-cat ever. It pains me to know that I adopted him from a not-so-great house situation and now he is suffering once again.

Thank you all for reading,
