Bebe & Leslie

My cat is my world, and when he suddenly became lethargic and wouldn't let me touch his belly or leg, I knew something was wrong. He would cry and scream out in pain. He was struggling to use his litter box. He was/is also biting his front arms. I rushed him to urgent care, but we left without answers. Over the next few weeks, we went back and forth to the vet , including more urgent care visits, desperately searching for what was causing his pain. It was super stressful and emotional not knowing how to help him or what was wrong. My Bebe was in pain and I needed an answer to his long sad meows. He had me in tears many days. After several visits, we finally got a diagnosis: my cat has hip dysplasia and a soft tissue injury to his leg. The biting of his arms still happens and they're saying it's anxiety. But I don't agree. My cat definitely has anxiety. But I know him, and the biting is not anxiety. While it was a relief to finally know what was wrong, the treatment and care he needs is ongoing. He now has to take medication for the pain. And to some how lose weight to take some pressure off of his leg. But I just want him to find happiness in something and maybe that's food. The vet bills from all the vet and urgent care visits have added up way too fast. While his pet insurance feels like a scam by not giving a dime back. I am incredibly blessed to have special people in my life who stepped in and paid all the bills so my cat could get the care he needed. I am so thankful for their kindness, support, help, care, love of animals, and loyalty toward Bebe and myself. Now I need to pay them back as soon as possible. Unfortunately, my pet insurance isn't covering any of the costs of anything to do with urgent care, and vet visits or any medication my Bebe needs. (That's why pet insurance seems like a scam. I heard horror stories while at the vet and urget care.) Being on SSDI makes this even more stressful. My cat is only 5 years old and means everything to me—without him, I'd be lost. And I'd loose my mind. He needs continued care with his vet, and daily pain medication. He looks so sad to me. He can no longer play or jump up on his cat tree to lay in the sun. He just lays there on the floor all day. And I'm beyond sad about it. It kills me to see him so sad and depressed and medicated. Any type of help would be a blessing to not only the person I'll be paying back, but also my cat, Bebe and myself. Anything helps. Thank you for taking the time to read this, sharing and donating. You're kidness is a blessing! Thank you!✨️
