Captain is a 15 year old American Shorthair in Bergenfield, , who needs $2,800 for Aural Polyp Removal Plus Echocardiogram.

My cat has been with me since he was young and has always lived as an indoor pet. Recently, due to leaving an unhealthy relationship, my housing has been temporary, and we have stayed with trusted family. Despite this, he has remained in a safe, stable indoor environment, receiving consistent care, food, and attention daily.

My cat has been diagnosed with ear polyps causing inflammation, heat, and discomfort. He was evaluated at Bergen Veterinary Hospital, where surgery was recommended to remove the polyps and prevent worsening pain or infection. He also requires a pre-anesthetic heart exam. The total cost exceeds my financial ability, and I am seeking assistance to ensure he receives the necessary treatment.

My cat is incredibly gentle, affectionate, and deeply intuitive. He stays close to me and always seems to sense when I’m stressed or upset, offering comfort just by being near. He loves curling up beside me, following me from room to room, and quietly being part of everything I do. With others, he is calm and friendly, warming up easily and bringing a peaceful presence into the home.

I’ve had my cat since I was 12, and he has been by my side through every stage of my life. Right now, I am facing financial hardship while rebuilding stability, making it difficult to afford his urgent surgery. Having him healthy again would mean everything to me
