Pierre Is a Very Ill Kitty

In a house full of very stressed students and other young adults, Pierre is one of our greatest joys.  You will never meet a sweeter cat than this guy right here.

Pierre is very ill right now.  After recovering from a UTI last month, he seemed to be doing better.  But now he's deteriorated very quickly.  He has a blockage of some kind and was unable to urinate at all before he was rushed to the vet this morning.

We love our cats very much, but everyone in this household is low income.  So far the bill includes urinalysis, xray, catheter, anesthesia for the catheter placement, antibiotics, and flea medicine because the poor baby also had fleas (which means the other two cats in the house probably do as well).  

For just today, the bill is over $1,000.  He will likely need to be placed somewhere overnight for observation, though it will have to be somewhere else as the vet he is with does not have anyone there overnight.  The bill is likely to climb much higher by the time treatment and follow up tests and visits are done.  We simply do not have the money, even between three roommates.

Please help us get this amazing little sweetheart the care he needs to get better.  Every little bit helps.
