Urgent Medical Treatment 4 Best Pal Wesley Snipes

On August 20th I discovered that my beloved cat, Wesley, had a large, hard lump protruding from his lower abdomen. The lemon-size bulge was diagnosed as a blocked bladder. Unbeknownst to me, ‘a blocked cat’ is a common condition that can have life-threatening consequences. The day he was taken into the vet I was told he was entering the danger zone, at risk of bursting his bladder.


Given the severity of his condition, the options for treatment have been limited. He has required an extended stay at the veterinary hospital after his bladder re-blocked following the first round of treatment. We are hoping round two will be more successful and we won’t have to opt for surgery as a last resort.  


Despite best efforts to keep costs low, Wesley’s emergency bill is now creeping into unsustainable territory for me – £1,954.03 and counting. On August 23, I transferred him to the animal charity Celia Hammond, where he’ll continue to receive the care he needs at reduced rates. This will help. The tricky bit will be the rest of that bill, as I’ve been on a reduced salary since the start of lockdown and don’t currently have pet insurance.

Under the circumstances, I’d be massively grateful for any contributions you can offer at this time. Whatever the amount, it will be a tremendous gift. Once his bladder is unblocked, Wesley’s chances of making a full recovery and living to a ripe old age are very good.

As I understand it, the first thing he wants to do when he gets home is watch Blade II. He’s a big fan.

With love and thanks,
