Beni is a 2 year old American Shorthair in Alexander, NY, who needs $210 for Idexx Wellness, CBC/Chem27/SDMA, and Trazodone 100 mg.

I have autism and fibromyalgia, meaning I'm permanently disabled. My mom was appointed my rep payee when I was young, and she had complete financial control over me until just last year, when I was finally able to take charge of my own funds. I moved out, but had to leave my cats behind with her. I would like Fergus and Beni to join me in my new place as I work towards gaining more independence.

Beni had FIP as a kitten. She was weak, didn't grow, and completely lost her eyesight for a while. She was in so much pain. I was able to get her treatment and she is now in remission, but something stressful like moving puts her at risk for relapse. She needs to be tested by Flint Veterinary to ensure she is well enough to handle it. FIP treatment is grueling and expensive, so prevention is best.

Beni serves as my other cat Fergus's "emotional support animal" for his anxiety. Once she overcame her FIP, she blossomed into quite a character. She's very silly, and you can tell not much goes on in that brain of hers. She knows just what kind of attention Fergus or I need when we're having a tough time. Her antics always put a smile on my face and her snuggles recharge me like nothing else can

I'm on a fixed income due to my disabilities. I also have debt from when my mom was handling my money. I pay for my cats to stay with my mom, so I will be able to afford their upkeep and routine visits. It's hard to save extra right now, but I need my cats safe at home.
