Blaze On: Support Blazer's Recovery

Blazer is my 2-year-old tabby cat and the goodest boy in the world. He likes snacks, naps, and wearing dapper little shirts. He makes friends and charms everyone he meets, it doesn't matter if you have two legs or four.

Sadly my poor little guy had to go to the animal hospital because of a urinary blockage, and his pet insurance is refusing to cover the cost. For this I intend to take them to court, but in the meantime I need help covering his bills which total almost $4000.

Normally I don't like asking for help, but this month has been extremely rough. My car was totaled and I just had a $500 vet bill for another of my cats.

We adopted Blazer at just 8 weeks old. He had the loudest little squeaker box I've ever heard, and the only way he'd sleep is if you held him or played lullaby music.

He bonded quickly with his big sister, a black cat that rarely lets anyone come near her.

Blazer got his name because I always wanted a tuxedo cat that I'd name "Tux", but the kitten we had picked out didn't make it through his neutering operation. I was heartbroken for Tux but then this little guy came into my life and filled the void, therefore I decided to name him after another form of fancy dress wear.

In many ways Blazer is more like a puppy. He's extremely chill, harness trained, will play fetch, and isn't afraid of water.

And yes, he really does wear shirts. His calm and cuddly stats double when he's got a cozy little sweater or hoodie on. His sisters are the opposite.

His main purrpose in life is to 100% every side-quest napping location.

Unfortunately, urinary issues are hereditary in cats, and blockages and UTI's are particularly dangerous for male cats. If you notice your boy cat struggling to pee then get him checked out immediately.

More likely than not, this will be a recurring medical issue for Blazer, and if I can't get insurance to cover him now then it'll forever be seen as a pre-existing condition even if I get new insurance for him. I at least want to be able to pay off my CareCredit for now just in case he gets another blockage before my fight with insurance is resolved.

My little guy and I thank you for your support with all our hearts ❤️
