((I’ve never been surprised honestly, it’s other people who are more surprised when I say I’m not like that. I don’t startle or get surprised easily.))
Hey everyone, lately I’ve seen an increase in people posting about fundraisers for their cats who have/had the same condition as Mr. Kitty. So, I would like to try and post this again to see if we can get a signal boost for Mr.Kitty’s cause.
Mr. Kitty was diagnosed with an urethral obstruction and elevated kidney values.
The obstruction caused his body to have a buildup of toxins. The levels in his kidneys were so high that the hospital’s machines couldn’t even detect how high they actually were. This caused the immediate need for medications, IV’s, and fluids. If he wasn’t treated immediate, Mr. Kitty would have not survived.
This is a common problem for male cats. However, it is life threatening. Now, the direct cause for this problem isn’t known, but it is most commonly because of the cat’s diet, high stress in the home environment, or it can even be a chronic hereditary problem. In Mr. Kitty’s case, it is very likely that the cause is chronic. Meaning that when (not if) this happens again he will need very expensive surgery called Perineal Urethrostomy. Its a very invasive surgery where they reconstruct his genitalia to create a more female-like opening.
But this past vet bill emptied my bank account, max out credit cards, and made me owe some people money. So, if the bill isn’t paid off, I wont have the means to give Mr.Kitty the life saving surgery should he need it.
Unfortunately, I cant have a job due to a medical condition nor can I collect and income with anything. So, I have zero income coming in. I am trying to get my commission shop open, but that’s something that I cant rush or open prematurely (still need vital supplies in order to do commissions)
Currently, MrKitty is “recovering” but he is showing signs that he may need to go back to the vet. And Im terrified of having to do that and learning he has another problem that cant be paid for. Unfortunately, if that happens, we will need to put Mr. Kitty down. And I don’t want that to happen. That’s why I need your help. I need help to save a life.
((I’m not all that up to-date on Mr Kitty since I legit just got home from my trip but my roommate has been doing updates on him on his gofundme as well as the ask blog, ask-commander-shitty-glasses today for a part of munday. I’m getting up to speed on him myself at the moment.))
