Aleister is a 13-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Northampton, MA, who needs $889 for Cardiology/Diagnostics.

Aleister is my emotional support animal and best friend of 13 years! He's my knight in shining armor and instinctively knows when I need comfort. He has gotten me through many dark times, struggles, hardships, heartbreaks, trauma, PTSD triggers, and has been my reason to keep going. Now HE needs support, and this fundraiser is so we can get a diagnosis in order to find how we can give HIM comfort.

Aleister is extremely friendly, social, affectionate, playful, and silly. Very talkative, and tells it like it is. His love language is rubbing noses, and he loves receiving gifts- he always knows when something is for him! It's been extremely hard to see his very vibrant personality become dimmer since he's been sick. And so my gratitude to you for any help that you can give us is immeasurable.

Aleister was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, calcium oxalate crystals in his bladder causing blood in his urine and urinary tract infections. In addition, he's had some breathing issues and needs to be seen by a cardiologist for a diagnosis. This fundraiser is to help pay for the cardiologist appointment specifically. This will be done by Mass Veterinary Services in Agawam, MA.

We need help because I am disabled/low income. The costs for his sick visits, other diagnostic tests, bloodwork, urinalysis, medications, and follow up appointments have very quickly accumulated and are still ongoing. And with the added upcoming cost of his cardiologist appointment, I am stretched far beyond my limit financially struggling to make payments while also paying directly out of pocket.

I can't keep up. His appointment is scheduled for early November and I'm worried that we won't be able to go since the bill needs to be payed the same day. But he really needs to see the cardiologist, and so I am reaching out for help in desperation! THANK YOU, infinitely!!
