1 Year Old Cat Needs Funding to Save Life

Donation protected
Hello! I'm making a fundraiser for my friend Carter. His cat, Beef, is having more medical troubles that he needs help with. Beef is uncontrollably urinating all over himself and his bladder is convulsing. The money will go towards making sure Beef gets a vet appointment and is able to get the help he needs.




[For the sake of clarity- my mom is the beneficiary since neither me or Carter has a credit card. She's sending the equivalent to what's being donated out of pocket so that he gets the money as soon as possible and can treat Beef as soon as the money comes in.]





Some words from Carter himself:

"After Beef's hematoma surgery, he's been recovering well. Despite my consistent cleaning, he hasn't been able to clean himself properly which has resulted in what I thought was another UTI.

Within a few hours of getting his cone off, I noticed Beef had symptoms yet again, of a UTI. Except I believe this isn't a UTI, but possibly something worse? He's beginning to lay on his back, something he's never done before, and pee all over himself and the carpet, as well as peeing on our clothing again to avoid the litter box and consistent licking of his groin. We need to get him neutered ASAP as we weren't able to prior and potentially get him medication again, or a surgery. His stomach is convulsing a lot, and he's made a few whimpering noises and he is very clearly in pain again. I can't let him go through this again. I think he may have some sort of blockage.

Since this is his second one in a short period of time, there may be something else wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated, you've all done so much for him and my family. Thank you, so much. I'm sorry there isn't much more to say, I'm devastated that things keep happening to him and there's nothing much I can do.

He's convulsing around his stomach, he's peeing himself consistently (no blood) he's peeing in like a thin stream, and then some droplets (there might be a blockage) he's meowing in pain when I press around his stomach, peeing on our clothes (discomfort w litter box) he's gotten a UTI once before, so that's why I assumed immediately. He isn't eating all of his food, he's laying on his back which he's never done, laying on his back to pee, and he's breathing a little weird right now. He also vomited, and what seemed like a massive hairball probably due to him cleaning himself each time he peed on himself.

We have attempted to rehome him to no luck, as nobody wants a sick cat less than a year old and euthanasia is a horrifying thought, but if we can't help him it seems like it might be the last option. We have no idea what the issue is, as he's now costed us well over $7k in the less than a year we've had him and he just continues to get sick. Please help us, we can't keep seeing him go through this.

Please be warned that the images included do show visibly him urinating himself as well as the vomit. So far there is no blood in his urine but I am concerned about stones or crystals in his urinary tract. Also, I apologize for the state of my carpet, it's been messy taking care of him post-surgery."




Anything helps, even a dollar will help Beef towards getting the help he needs and making sure he's okay. If you can't donate, please, please, please share this gofundme; either by retweeting Carter's twitter post or by sharing the URL to the gofundme. We would not be starting this gofundme if we thought Beef didn't need the help. Beef means the world to Carter and his girlfriend, they want to be able to help Beef, but they need help.
