Support Veewee's HCM Emergency Vet Fund
Donation protected
My name is Alisia and I have the most amazing cat in the world named Veewee who was diagnosed with HCM at only 3 years old. I need help to build her an emergency vet bill fund while I look for work and get on my feet after a breakup and moving out of my ex's.
Veewee had an emergency overnight vet visit in April when she was diagnosed with HCM, because fluids were in her lungs from hereditary heart failure. The cost totaled 3k.
She has since been stable, happy, and taking all her medications, and I have been able to pay for follow-up appointments. She had one that showed she was still doing well and clear of fluids on July 30.
But now, I've gone through a breakup, which meant I had to move, I'm looking for a job currently, and I'm her only hope if she needed to go to the vet for another emergency.
I'm extremely concerned about what the stress of moving into a house with an unfamiliar cat has done to her health. She has been acting like she is choking on fluids or at least struggling to breathe for about a minute at a time, now and then. When she was first moved into the current house, other cats were being aggressive and attacking her. The main aggressor has been temporarily moved back to my ex's. She also missed about 4 or 5 days of consistent medication due to refusing it because of moving stress, as well as me being in the hospital for five days when she was first moved here. I still have at least a few days to recover from my foot injury so I can drive and work. (It is Aug 12 at time of writing)
I just don't want to have to be pressured by anyone/lack of money to put her down if an emergency happens before I can start work and get my first few paychecks. She means the world to me. I love her so much and I'm not going to feel okay until I feel like she's okay, like I can take her to the vet if she needed without fear.
In general, her medications and follow up appointments are also difficult when I'm in such an uncertain time in my life. I'll be starting completely from scratch with a minimum wage job. So it would really help if my paychecks can go to her care without fear of choosing between that and the ability to fund an emergency visit.
Thank you so very much for any and all contributions. Veewee is a happy, sweet, loving cat who does NOT want to go anytime soon. I would never make her stay on earth if she was suffering, but other than these recent choking scares, she doesn't even know anything is wrong with her.
