Help my little Kaida

Hello there! If you're here, then you're likely curious as to what this is about. I've had Kaida, my Japanese Bobtail since she was 6 months old. She's now about to celebrate her 10th birthday. She's my sweet little old lady with a heart of gold, full of life and energy, and one of the single kindest cats you'll ever interact with.

She gives kisses, and snuggles, and nuzzles, and chomps, and so much more all the time to everyone she meets. In fact, no one I've ever introduced to her has ever had anything bad to say about her.

For the past couple months, she's had very loose stool, no blood, no major problems. I swapped her onto a different diet to alleviate it, and to compensate the loose stool by getting more fluids into her diet. We went to a complete wet food diet at the Vet's urging as well for both her and my problem cat, Stella. A few days ago, she started doing this thing where she rears up like a camel or bison with a hump in the middle. It's the weirdest thing.  Kaida has IBD and a few other issues that I've battled with most of her life. But I've never seen her in this kind of pain before, and quite frankly, as a cat dad it's terrifying and disheartening. In 2017, I had to put my cat Mina down after 17 years of having her due to cancer and kidney failure, and I promised each of my babies that they'd all live to atleast 17 and I would do whatever it took to make sure they had happy, healthy, and long lives.

I've researched tirelessly to figure out what it means, but essentially it's intestinal/abdominal discomfort. This morning I found her on the kitchen table hissing and growling and yowling at the top of her lungs and biting me if I even came near. This is completely different behavior than I am used to. She's ok, at the moment, but I do not have the money needed due to my own tens of thousands of dollars in medical debt / bills I have to pay for for myself.

I am asking that folks help me out to reach my goal so that I can give Kaida another 10 good years of happy, healthy life. If you are willing to donate to this, know that not only will you have my absolute and eternal gratitude, but I will be more than happy to compensate you in any way that my skillsets afford.

I can teach you about business, help you with resumes, help with portfolios, teach art, paint pet portraits, and a lot more. Feel free to ask me. I really, really don't like asking for money, and I really don't want free money. I realize that you all want to help me, but I would prefer it if you let me give you something in return to show my and Kaida's gratitude for the help.
