Gavin, the stone tapping Tiktok sensation needs your help

Gavin, the quirky stone tapping bengal from Tiktok needs your help. (Anyone unfamiliar with Gavin's story can read it here Gavin's story)
Gavin's first hip surgery went well and he was soon busy jumping and doing his crab runs. But sadly, now Gavin faces a new challenge. In addition to his many other health issues Gavin started coughing and further investigations indicate a possible asthma diagnosis which inevitably means further treatment and vet bills
Gill - Gavin's pet parent - is consequently struggling to ensure Gavim gets the best care possible but has limited resources; the pet insurance for the year has been used to pay for vvarious investigative procedures and scans and has no other resources to turn to but Gavin's care is long term and ongoing.
As you would have read from Gavin's story Gills husband passed away leaving her solely responsible for Gavin's care which, due to Gavin's numerous health issues requiring specific treatments, all of which are costly.
Consequently resources have been stretched to beyond breaking point.
