About this fundraiser

UPDATE: 5am Friday June 21- I was able to get to where she’s been hiding and pick her up. Although she’s been awake, she felt really limp in my arms. I brought her into my 19 year old son Room because that’s where the cats usually sleep and that’s where they are most comfortable. I put her on my sons bed and she fell off the bed and from what I could see she’s not able to stand on or walk on either one or both of her back legs she then proceeded to crawl/drag herself behind underneath his bed. I can’t get her nor can I see her so I just left her where she is because I don’t want to stress her out even more. I’m really worried. 

 

-around 5am yesterday morning (June 20, 2024) we woke up to our 11 year old cat having what I can only assume was some sort of seizure. Its never happened before. She seemingly healthy otherwise, But she has not been the same all day. She has not come out of hiding and she’s very much unlike herself. Not only am I concerned And beyond worried, But my kids are as well. And even worse, Our other cat is so confused and wandering around, looking for her and crying. He’s 10 years old and her biological son from her first litter. They do everything together they sleep together every night. I can’t imagine how devastated and lost he would be without her. I’ve tried applying for CareCredit, Scratch pay, affirm, Klarna, And some other emergency financial options and I’ve been denied for everything. I’m fully aware how costly bills and how quickly they can add up, especially if there’s something neurological going on. I’m not sure how much it’s going to cost to get her in to make sure she’s OK, or to potentially Have to make the decision to end her pain. But I need to try anyway I can to make that happen even if it means having to make a really tough decision. I can’t sit here and just let her suffer. I feel so lost and I have a really bad feeling I pit of in my stomach. I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t have any other options, I can’t afford emergency vet services on a good day, but I’m also trying to maneuver around needing to move before the end of summer. I can’t even pretend that I can afford what is going on right now with her. I don’t know why the universe is throwing all of this at my family at once, But if you’re able to help, please consider doing so
