Help Johnny 5 Stay Alive
Donation protected
As most of you know Johnny 5 (AKA Terydactyl, AKA J5, AKA Mama's Boy AKA 1 /2 of the twins) my rebellious 4-year old Tuxedo cat decided to go on a little adventure outside. Unfortunately he got lost for almost 2 months. He battled the wild, a ridiculous amount of rain with thunder, lightning, and even hail, and god knows what else. After numerous sightings in the neighborhood...one of our ABSOLUTELY AMAZING neighbors found him and was able to bring him back to us. Only problem? He was in terrible shape. We immediately ran him to the Emergency ER as he looked very ill.
Upon his initial check-up we found that his blood pressure was through the roof, he was extremely cold, malnourished, dehydrated, and had a sinus infection. Our initial 24 hour quote to start diagnostics was $1,941.00 of which we had to pay upfront. Once they started the X-Rays it only went down hill from there. His heart was enlarged, one of his kidneys was enlarged, his intestines were shoved down, and appeared to show some bone fragments, plus based on his gums...the Doctor thought he was going into liver failure. She was rather pessimistic about him bouncing back. Though she didn't feel that there wasn't any hope of a recovery.
I had to make a decision. Invest in my cute little 4 year old rebel after he held on this long trying to get home...or put him down. I went with the former. I had to. For him...and for his twin sister Aurora who has been depressed since he has been gone.
So here we are 2 days later, with Vet Bills around $2,500.00 currently, and climbing. We don't have pet insurance either. I set the goal at $7,000 as the vet is estimating the bills being from $7K-$10K if he stays in the same condition much longer. ANY/ALL funds over the medical bills will be donated to the local SPCA, and local rescues. (Will update the names as I do research to who Is most in need). Now I am not one to typically ask for money (call it pride, caretaker mentality, or pure stubborness), but we really could use your help. Johnny 5 could REALLY use your help. It's going to be a tough road to recovery, but anything/everything elses.
My only wish right now is to get him better, and get him home where he belongs...It's an emotional and now a financial roller coaster for us. If you have anything to spare please help us pay his medical bills, so he can continue to get treatment, and hopefully get better. I need you. He needs you. WE COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP!
With our hearts, and ENOURMOUS APPRECIATION...THANK YOU!

P.S. JOHNNY 5 IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! (Short Circuit 2)
P.P.S. I'll be updating as much as possible, as I do go visit him at least once a day. I'll keep all of you posted. Thank you for the love, support, and warm wishes.
