My sweet boy Milo is battling a painful and chronic condition called Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC). In just the last 10 days, he’s been rushed to the emergency room twice for life-threatening bladder blockages. Right now, he’s spending the night at the ER—again—while the amazing veterinary team works to ease his pain and stabilize him.

FIC causes severe inflammation and blockages that, in male cats, can be fatal if not treated quickly. After multiple hospitalizations, the only long-term solution is a specialized surgery called Perineal Urethrostomy (PU). This procedure would give him a wider, safer path to urinate—relieving his pain and dramatically reducing the risk of future emergencies.

This surgery is expensive, and I’m doing everything I can—but I can’t do it alone. There’s also a clinical trial being considered, but it’s still in development and not guaranteed. Every single dollar you donate will go directly to his medical care, from hospital stays to medication to the surgery that could save his life.

If you’re an animal lover, you know how deep this bond runs. He’s my companion, my comfort, and my little shadow. Watching him suffer is breaking my heart.

Please, if you’re able to help—even $1 makes a difference—I would be beyond grateful. And if you can’t donate, just sharing this page can help us reach someone who can.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, supporting, and caring. You’re helping give my boy a real chance at a pain-free life.
