This is Mason. He’s my mother’s cat and like another child to her. We took him from a druggie when he was a kitten, hardly even two months old, because she wasn’t feeding him properly (dog food) and leaving him alone for hours at a time with no water or biscuits.
Recently he’s started peeing a mixture of blood and urine after several days of limited tray use. He’s eating sort of regularly, and is well-hydrated to boot, but we’re honestly so worried right now (my mother was in tears because this cat is literally a child to her and I don’t know how she’d handle him being ill).
We called up PDSA today to ask for help with vet fees but we are apparently “outside the catchment area” for them to help us and Cats Protection doesn’t provide financial assistance for anything other than neutering. The vet we’re going to is not our usual one since our usual are generally considered to be shit (we’ve had several dogs die on us with them and it really doesn’t breed much trust).
Right off the bat we have a £30 consult fee to meet which we can sort of cover (moving money around, not paying this bill or that bill, limiting how much we buy for food etc) but we’re more concerned about any medication or, gods forbid, surgeries we may need to pay for afterwards.
If our financial situation was better and we could afford to actually
do this ourselves, believe me, we would. I am having to coast on what
I’ve already been given by those of you who have kindly given me money
for the past month and I’m still stuck until mid-February at the
earliest before I can be of any help in the household financially. My
mother isn’t much better off and neither of my brothers can help us out
with this (one of them has racked up a debt that is best not discussed
lest I hit him with something for being so darn stupid).
My Paypal is in my blog description but I’m also adding it here [https://www.paypal.me/kathryncowle0] to save time. I don’t really use any other means of money transaction because I don’t know any, so sorry if Paypal is a problem for anyone.
If any of you can help us out, please do. Even a pound will help in the long run. Please. I don’t want to lose another cat and I certainly don’t want my mother to lose hers because, honestly, this cat means everything to her and I’m so worried about how she’ll handle losing him.
Reblogged with the link FIXED. I didn’t even realise tumblr was trying to make this an internal blog link wtf (is this a conspiracy???)
