Goodbye, Midnight.
Donation protected
For those of you that know me, I found a cat outside 11 years ago (would be 12 years this August). She only had 3 legs, and only 2 of those legs had feet. Her front feet. She has been a pain in my butt for almost 12 years, and she has also been my best friend.
She has ruined so many of my things because for some reason she only felt like using her litter box half of the time. Most people have asked why I never got rid of a cat that has destroyed so much and completely ruined the floors etc. in the apartment. Because they would have.
But Midnight sleeps next to me every night. She claws at the bathroom door if I shut it without her inside because if I'm home she is always right by my side. When I'm crying in bed or having panic attacks she's in my lap trying to figure out what's wrong with me. When I come home she's almost always at the front door waiting for me, if not she's asleep on my pillow.
Midnight has cancer. She has a huge tumor on the outside of her skin, it's slowly been growing, it has been leaking, it has a weird smell now so it's probably infected. She has several other smaller tumors under the skin, I can feel them if I move her skin around. I brought her to the vet a few months ago and it was going to be around $3,000 to remove one side of her mammary glands and do the testing on her to make sure it hasn't spread to the other side, or her lungs. And even then, she is older and might not have lasted much longer with the surgery.
She is still eating normal. She still drinks plenty of water. She plays with pens and stuff on the floor and she's still my cat that I love and that loves me. I don't know how to tell if she is in pain because they said she would stop eating and not be herself if she was suffering but nothing has changed except for this stupid tumor getting worse.
I am not ready to say goodbye to my best friend and I honestly have no idea how I am going to survive without her. But I know that soon I will have to bring her in so she doesn't have to suffer any longer, if she is.
I have made this GoFundMe to help me during this time. It's not that I can't afford the euthanasia, but it's not exactly cheap if you want to keep the ashes of your pet. I don't need $1,000 for it, but if I get more than the bare minimum I need to get everything done I can afford to take some days off and basically have a mourning period for myself. About half of it will be used for the euthanasia/cremation/getting to keep the ashes, a paw mold from the vet's office, and the materials I need to make myself a necklace with her ashes built in to keep her close to me. If I get to $1k, or even more I would also make a donation to a shelter in Midnight's name.
I understand most people are struggling right now. I am not expecting much, if anything. But this is very hard for me to do and any help that anyone can give is very much appreciated. Thank you.
**I'm going to draw and make some Midnight stickers, I'll mail one to anyone who donates $5 or more if they want one.
