Birdy is a 14-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Coventry, RI, who needs $2,000 for emergency surgery.

My kitty Birdy was born in my garage in May 2007. He was our family kitty but certainty my moms baby until she passed away 3 years ago. I am a single parent Rakifn care of all Birdys health problems alone plus everything else in life. Birdy has had several health problems that require him to go to see his internist weekly or every other week for the last several years.

Birdy has been with me through so many ups and downs. Maybe only something true animal lovers can understand. He puts his paws on anyone to pick him up, head buts on the counter to pick him up, rolls on the counter when writing. He will climb on my when I’m laying down and nestle next to me. . He’s just the love of my life. I need to save him. He’s the best temperament and companion.

Birdy knows when I’m sad. He will come in my room and let out a big meow. He wakes me up every morning scratching at my door to give him insulin. Lays on the counter next to me when I’m eating dinner. Paws at me to hold his little paw. He has extra ties so has mittens. He just has the best attitude. Meows constantly wants to always be held. Not a mean bone in his body.

Birdy has been at Ovean State Veterinary Specialsit for 10 out of the last 14 days. His history is diabetes very hard to regulate, IBD, has one eye other removed few years ago was ruptured, porsssium deficient, early kidney disease. In the last 9 days Birdy has become blocked with urinary obstruction 4 times. His only option is PU surgery to correct this at this point.

This expense is sudden and unexpected. I’m a single parent trying to make ends meet as it is. I’ve exhausted all financial options to my name. Birdy has battled through health challenges over the years and I can’t let him go without trying eveythjng possible to save him.
