Ashburn is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in Stafford, VA, who needs $7,285 for Hospitalization and Urinary Unblocking.

Ashburn was a rescue kitten that I adopted two years ago. He and his brother were living with a foster family that cared for many rescue kittens. When he came home with me, he weighed about 0.5 lb less than his brother, Shadowflame.
He was obsessed with food and showed signs of resource guarding. Over time, he grew out of it after I started feeding him and his brother separately.

Yesterday when I got home, I noticed Ashburn had been licking his hind end, and there were drops of dark yellow urine all over the room. I immediately realized he might have a urinary blockage and needed emergency care.
After four hours of waiting at the emergency vet, he was diagnosed with intermittent urinary blockages and a heart murmur.

Ashburn has always been shy and quiet since he was a kitten. When he was younger, he loved sleeping on my neck. I would always wake up in the middle of the night with a dry throat because of him.
He loves playing with his brother and laying on me whenever he can.

I’m a 23-year-old recent graduate working full-time as a vet assistant while helping my mom pay the mortgage and bills. I already have significant student loan and credit card debt, and Ashburn’s emergency care has added thousands more. Any help means so much.
