Get Rafael his surgery

Rafael is 2 years old and is the sweetest cat on the face of the earth. Loving and affectionate since the moment we adopted him from a shelter. But because that shelter neutered him too young he is suffering from a severe condition that, if left untreated, could take his life.
We've already spent $1917.00 on emergency treatment for him but this may only be a temporary solution.  Rafael suffers from blockage created due to the opening of his penis being too small for a healthy urine flow. This causes the bladder to fill and become distended and urine to backup into his kidneys. And while vets can drain his bladder and we can put him on a prescription diet, these are bandaid solutions unless he gets a Urethrostomy. This operation will remove the exterior urethra and create a wider opening to promote a healthier flow.
In simpler terms this operation will change his "Male" opening to a "female" opening.
But this is a very expensive procedure and we can't afford to get it for him on our own. And none of the shelters in our area have the means to perform the surgery if worse came to worse and we had to give him up. So ultimately this cat will be put down because of a mistake a shelter made when he was brought in as a baby. No animal deserves to die because of negligence from a human. Especially not one as sweet as Raf. 
Donate if you can. Share if you can't. Raf deserves as much of a chance at having a full life as any other kitty in the world.
