Please Help Cat Daddy Joe Pay My Vet Bills

Excuse me for barging in...

Hi, my name is Rudie. I live with my blood brother Rocco (R), my older sister Rose (L), and our cat-daddy, Joe (CDJ). CDJ takes real good care of us, but he needs your help.

The past few days, I haven't been feeling well. I tried to hide it. I kept to myself, didn't feel like eating, and to tell you the truth—I had problems peeing—(TMI?). CDJ picked up on all of this & took me to my usual vet for an emergency visit. They poked, prodded, stuck me, shoved & stitched a catheter in me, as well as a shunt in my leg for IV fluids & meds. The vet said I had a possible blockage in my bladder. He said it was common in young boy cats. I am young, but this is not the kind of 1st birthday present I had in mind. (BTW ... my first birthday is Friday, 3/18/22).

I was not too fond of any of this, so I thrashed about and paced in my cage, tangling up my catheter and bag multiple times. The vet then "coned" my head and pumped me full of sedatives. Harrumph! The indignity!

My regular vet isn't a 24-hour facility, and because I'm an apparent rude boy thrasher, they couldn't trust me to be alone overnight. The vet said I needed transferring to a 24-hour vet hospital for overnight observation.

Longer story short: I'm now at Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, NJ. They say I need surgery to remove "bladder stones," and it will cost CDJ a whopping $7,000.00 on top of the $1,000.00+ he paid to my primary vet. We need your help now.

CDJ is stressed—big time! We're supposed to be moving to Kansas City in three weeks. My family needs your help to get through this, pay these unexpected medical bills, get healthy, and get on the road to our new home.

All donations will be appreciated and used to help me get healthy and bolster my family's unity and sanity.

Thank you,

Rudie, Rocco, Rose, & CDJ
