Cosmo is a 16 year old American Shorthair in Cranston, RI, who needs $10,000 for Echocardiogram, Diagnosis at ER , and Meds.

Back in 2009, I was 6 years old when Cosmo came into our lives. My dad's friend found a litter of kittens behind a building at his workplace and started giving away the kittens. The friend decided to gift Cosmo to my dad, and I remember my dad coming home one day with a baby kitten. My mom was the one that came up with the name, it comes from the cartoon The Fairy Odd Parents.

We initially brought Cosmo into PetMedic Hospital because he had stopped eating for 5 days and was throwing up. They gave him fluids and anti-nausea meds hoping that it would help. We brought him in again because he started to breathe heavily with the same symptoms. They then gave him IV fluids (which is why part of his arm is shaved) and meds to get his breathing under controlled

I love Cosmo so much, he means everything to me. I know he's an older cat, but I just hate to see him suffering. He's a beautiful lap cat and he loves to watch soap operas while laying on my lap. He follows me around the house and loves to meow a lot. Whenever I come home, he's always at the entrance waiting for me while shaking his tail as if to greet me. He's been my little companion for years

I just graduated from college last year and I am in the army national guard and will be shipped out in September for basic training. In the mean time I have been doing a part time at a preschool. I'm worried about his breathing and I want to take him to the ER. Thank you ❤️
