Financial Help Desperately Needed - FELV Cat
Donation protected
I have always loved animals. Which is a big reason many of my jobs and even major in college focused on working with animals. I always want to go above and beyond.. But the medical field wasnt for me.. However, my love for animals never left, of course. Any abandoned or beaten down animal I wanted to save. To rescue. And I never knew when to just realize I can't save them all... No matter how much I wanted to. I have recently ran into a situation, that I have no idea what to do, with a sweet boy cat who recently fell ill. I took him into the vet today and found that he had feline leukemia. I'm devasted, but was more than willing to pay for his meds (current vet bill for him was $213). However, he's an outdoor cat, and I'm unable to bring him in as I currently have already 4 cats in my home (which will need to be tested now and hopefully given vaccines, if negative - for all 4 cats it will be $600 + $400 for the boosters). I'm at a loss, but I just want to do whatever I can to help him. This same neighbor that had abandoned this cat is also the neighbor that abandoned my other cat I am currently fostering and was trying to adopt out. This particular cat was the only female in the neighborhood so she was being constantly attacked by all the males. I got her spayed, but due to complications, ended up spending $1000 on her recovery. I'm still currently looking for a loving home for her.. In addition, another cat adandoned, that I ended up caring for, was hit by a car. I hospitalized him, in hopes he would survive, but he ended up having to be euthanized. This was another $1000.
As much as I would continue to go into debt for these animals, I'm afraid I'm reaching my limit. And unfortunately for this boy, my limit is at a time where he needs help and care the most. I've always been a little too proud to ask for help, because I felt I was financially stable enough to do it on my own.. But I cant.
I'm asking that if you could please donate, I would greatly appreciate the help. I just can't keep fixing all the careless acts of other people anymore.. I'm broken, and am praying to find help; financially, with adoption of the female cat, and to maybe even find a loving home that can care for this 1 felv+ cat, or a shelter that could rescue him (I'm currently looking into this).
Any amount you donate is greatly appreciated and will help more than you think.
Thank you.
