Blitzle is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Des Moines, IA, who needs $8,000 for Fatty Liver Needing Aggressive Nutritional Support.

I got Blitzle when he was a kitten. He was found in a very run-down home that was infested with fleas. When he was brought home he was very sick, but he's a fighter.

He has an older cat brother, Pikachu, and a younger dog brother Jasper. He and his brother Pikachu were named after Pokemon. We recently moved, introducing a new senior cat named Nala.

He loves cuddles, and spending time with his humans.

Recently, Blitzle was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. We believe it was caused by the stress of our recent move. The vets at BluePearl say that he has a very good chance of recovery with hospitalization. He will need to have a feeding tube and IV placed, and he will need to stay from anywhere between 3-7 days. They won't know how long his stay will be until they can see what kind of progress he makes.

He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet. Every night he goes to sleep in my 8-year-old daughter's room, making sure she's safe, secure, and asleep before coming in to cuddle with me. He instinctually knows when we're upset and always tries to help make us feel better with cuddles and purrs louder than a race car. This boy has helped me through so much through the years. He's my soul pet.

We're a low-income household. I recently purchased a house, using all of my savings. I thought I would have more time to replace my savings before an emergency. I used the last of the savings I had getting him diagnosed. He's my best friend. My whole world. I can't give up. Please help us help Blitzle.
