Cootie Pouf is a 4 year old Maine Coon in Athol, MA, who needs $1,000 for Catheterization.

Cootie Pouf is the only non rescue or cat distribution cat we have. He's a big goofy Maine Coon mix. We have 6 cats at the moment. They are 11, 9, 5, 4 (Cootie Pouf), 4 and 1 1/2. Two are Texas kill shelter rescues. We are currently in a situation where we only have one income and it's been slow in my business. This is going to wipe us out financially to be honest, but he's worth it.

Today I noticed that Poufy went to the litter box but has produced no urine. I had a cat with this problem previously and I recognize the signs. I can afford a regular vet visit, but I think an emergency vet will wipe us out. The emergency vet is VESH South Deerfield. In Massachusetts.

Cootie Pouf is a floofy dork. He nudges and "kisses" and clings like a baby. He has a tiny baby meow and lies on his back on the kitchen floor for attention. When we rescued Merida from the kill shelter last year, she got attached to him and it's safe to say she is bonded to him. They are always together. He's a sweet, loving cat and I only want to do what's best for him.

I am self-employed, the only bread winner, and my finances always hit a wall in the summer months, Murphy's Law and all. I just want Poufy to be okay. He is such a love and it pains me to see him struggle.
