Help get my Mojo working
Donation protected
I never thought I'd be the kind of person to spend $10,000 on medical care for pets while human beings are dying everyday from lack of healthcare. In the past year, I've done it twice. First Posey had kidney failure, now Mojo has a bladder stone requiring surgery to stay alive.
I also never thought I'd be asking people for help, but here I am, head down, eyes averted. I totally get it if you need to spend your money on food for the hungry, housing for those without homes, your own family, even your own self, because it's been a heck of a year. But if you have any little extra to send Mojo's way, he could sure use it. As they say, no amount too small.
A week ago, Mojo, my 8-year-old black cat, was yowling in pain. Turns out his bladder was full but he could not urinate. Thank goodness we got a catheter in him before his bladder burst. It took a full week in the hospital to properly diagnose him, and now he needs two surgeries: one to remove a bladder stone, the other to create a larger urination hole.
Six months ago, his little sister Posey was hospitalized with kidney failure, and I am still paying off that $10,000 bill. I'm a freelance writer/editor, and two hospitalizations in one year is overwhelming me and my finances. Never have two little rescue cats cost so much! (BTW Posy is named after Giants catcher Buster Posey because she, too, is orange and black.)
We are a family of three: Mojo, Posey, and me, and I would not have made it through the pandemic isolation without them. Mojo looks like a miniature black panther, strong and stealthy with Ninja reflexes as he goes after loose threads, leaves, or the strands of my hair. But inside he is shy and lovable, a true lap kitty who loves to be held.
Here is a link to an eerily prophetic short essay I published in The Sun magazine recently: https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/515/survivor
I appreciate any amount you can give to help me pay for Mojo's surgeries, hospitalization, and after-care. Let's get my Mojo back!
