Archie is a 5-year-old American Short-hair Cat in Denver, CO, who needs $2,000 for Feline Urinary Tract Disease.

We rescued Archie when he was 4 months old. He wasted no time in becoming a vital member of our family, bonding with my other cat, Milo, and my Golden, Duncan. He was almost inseparable from Dunc, and stayed right by his side as his time to cross the bridge neared. He had brought excitement, tenderness, and an energy that can only be described as Pure Archie into our lives.

Archie is 100% mischievous. If there’s a place he shouldn’t be (the drier, the fridge—inside and out), that’s the only place he wants to be. If there’s an ounce of trouble to get into, that becomes he sole determination. He might think his name is “Archie, no!” Or “Archie, get out of there!” He has a spark like no other cat I’ve shared my life with. But he’s also so sweet and kind and gentle.

Archie stayed with my dog Duncan as he was getting older. And when we welcomed our new puppy, Emmett, he immediately welcomed him and showed him the ropes. They became fast friends and are rarely apart. They look after each other, and even seem to work together to distract me so the other can get into mischief. Archie is a handful but he’s so sweet and tender and gives more loves than anyone.

Archie has feline urinary tract disease $ has been hospitalized for 3 days. The treatments in the ER have been expensive & while he’s improving he’s not improving fast enough. The disease is manageable, we just have to get him over the hump, but with the holiday weekend approaching I cant afford to keep him in the ER for 3 days so I’m afraid a financial decision will get in the way of his recovery

This was a very sudden and expensive situation. I work in education where the salaries aren’t high but the love of helping students is. My financial situation doesn’t allow for these kind of emergencies. I wished I’d known about pet insurance when I got him but I didn’t.
