Sent an email. I feel like every time I'm making a little bit of progress some dumb poo poo happens that's out of my control. It's infuriating.

One of our cats Cheeto stopped being able to poop yesterday at about this time. He has peed some but to me it seemed less than usual. He just peed and we looked at it and it was pink. We are in the parking lot of the emergency vet because this happened an hour after all the normal vets closed for the weekend. We cannot afford this. We are hoping they let us at least get him treated before demanding payment. We have a few hundred dollars above bills and I already know that won't even cover how much this will cost but I can't lose him. There is nothing in this world that matters more to me than my cats and I am struggling to hold it together as I wait for them to take him in. I do not know what it will cost yet. I hate to have to ask for help again but I will do anything to make him better. He is only 5 and I am not ready to lose him. He has been acting fine all day other than the pink pee and has been eating and drinking and playing but blood in urine is the biggest red flag there is with cats. I am beyond panicked. Any help is appreciated and I am sorry I don't know what to ask for yet. Our PayPal is is thehotbuttonissue@gmail.com and our cash app is $lemonsaurus and our Venmo is $littleprof. Anyone who donates anything to help my cat, I will do anything I can to pay you back or thank you that I can. Thank you They took him in, it will cost at least $200 between the doctor visit ($88 minimum) and tests he will need, they don't think he will need hospitalization but if he does it will be over $1000 minimum. So, both for his health and because that is impossible for us to cover, I sure hope he is ok. We will know in a couple hours I guess empty whippet box has issued a correction as of 03:45 on Feb 13, 2021 |

I am beyond panicked. we have received what is likely enough to cover this vet bill and more - this community is really amazing sometimes, in ways that really loving matter. (unless he is hospitalized - then it might not be enough, but, the vet seemed to strongly think this was unlikely)

If there was something set aside for me send it over to Empty Whippet Box’s cat. I’ve had to have a cat hospitalized and it’s the absolute worst.

yea, and actually, I may have been hasty in saying what was sent *totally* covers everything but it covers tonight, at least. the vet is recommending more blood tests for him. but tonight's immediate costs were covered and I am insanely grateful for that. I don't know what we'd have done without it. seriously, thank you so much

exceedingly based thread not really in a position to give anything right now (don't think im in the position to be recieving anything, either - im a student living with my parents and i've got a maintenance loan for buying dumb poo poo with), but you have my support, as worthless as that is once i come into a little more money i'll absolutely be spending some on this, though

Hey, just realized this thread existed and my car broke permanently a couple of weeks ago. Here's a fun picture of it being towed away to car heaven! We are having to take out a loan to get a new (used) one, but it isn't soooo easy as I don't have my residency sorted yet (EU country) due to Corona causing all the relevent departments to be closed for walk ins and having appointments months away. We already had one application turned down and it's starting to look bad for the second. I'm not sure how it works here or even if I am deserving of help, but it would be really good to have a car again. This isn't the only thing that is currently causing financial stress on my and my family, but the list would be too long and a car is certainly a way to ease the burden on the others. I also solemnly swear that I will donate back once I have my poo poo sorted!

We've been talking about this since you posted it and alas... this is not really what the fund is for. If you need some help with food or housing we will be more than happy to help where we can. Just let us know. I'm trying my best to make this gentle but we are not sending you money to buy a car. I'm posting this in the thread so everyone knows how we are handling this.

And if he survives alright? well, spending a week cuddling with your cat isn't that bad.

Fwiw he lived for 7 years after being diagnosed. The best you can do is hug cheeto. I hope you're wrong, and he will be here this time next week, but if you are right, he will be loved until the end.

he seems to be doing well tonight, I hope I was just being an anxious freak earlier, and I hope that tomorrow during the day I won't wind up feeling the same way again. I'm just so worried about him and I need this to get better.
