Bella is a 15-year-old Orange Tabby Cat in Altoona, WI, who needs $1,500 for Arthritis.

I adopted Bella when she was 5 years old, her previous owner was unable to take care of her, a couple of years ago I noticed that she has arthritis in her back legs, so I have been giving her drops and it seems to be helping a little bit, I keep her as comfortable as possible, she sleeps on my bed with her cat bed.

She loves being petted and groomed, and also love's attention, loves her treats, I have other cats and she tolerates them but does not have to much interaction with them.

We definitely have a bond, she's always next to me, follows me around, she loves her treats. I consider her my therapy cat, and she also loves catnip and her toy's.

I currently don't have a vet for her, I can't afford it due to my own medical issues. I do know that she has arthritis and she has some other issues, like pooping outside the litter box and not urinating for two days at a time.

Currently I only work 12 hours a week due to my medical issues, I was diagnosed with cirrhosis, and so I can not afford veterinary care, it would mean a great deal to get her the care that she needs, I want her to feel comfortable as possible, I don't want her to feel pain.
