Aubie is a 13-year-old Tabby in Childersburg, AL, who needs $500 for preliminary diagnostics.

I found Aubie on June 5, 2007, a year after I adopted Bogart. After I found him, he started bothering me, wanting to be friends. I tried to discourage him because I had Bogart but he wouldn't give up. He was determined we were going to be buddies. I admitted defeat and he bonded with me, by his choice. Since then he "kisses" me each day by rubbing his nose against mine and is always with me.

Aubie loves me, he has no interest with anyone else. He spends his days and nights with me, talking as if I can understand him (I wish I could). I have to feed him he usually won't eat unless I hold his plate of food for him He likes to eat out of my hand. He is my world, as I seem to be his. He is dedicated, loyal and loving, the most incredible friend I have ever had.

I am disabled and have VERY limited SSI. I do not know how much this is going to cost but I need my little buddy, he's the light of my life. I can't find employment because of my age and history of intense insulin reactions so I have what little I receive to care for Aubie

Aubie vomited bile just after midnight on 7-18-20. He ate less that day and vomited bile again that night. I was able to get him to the vet the morning of 7-20. He ate a good breast that morning and vet said it was fur balls. He has eaten very little since and nothing today. I fear it's something very serious. He is being treated by at Animal House Vet Clinic by Becky Senicz.

Aubie picked me to bond with, I had nothing to do with his choice. He spends all his time with me. I have diabetes and many years ago he learned to identify my low blood sugar. He'll first tell me by staring. If I don't respond, he'll begin to meow, letting me know I'm having a problem. Because of him, I avoid the bad insulin reactions I had before he taught himself to recognize my problem.
