Darwin is a 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair in Land O Lakes, FL, who needs $725 for PU Surgery.

My baby came into my life three years ago, when one of my best friends found a pregnant stray in her backyard. I met Darwin the moment he was born, and he has been my baby ever since. I watched him grow with his momma until he was big enough for me to take him home. He lived in my bedroom for a couple weeks, in which we created the strongest bond I've ever felt with a pet.

Darwin is by far the sweetest cat I've ever met in my life, which all of my family and friends can attest to. He has never bit or scratched a soul, even when he plays. He cuddles up on my chest every single night to fall asleep as he drools and makes biscuits. I've never seen a cat so sweet and full of love, even with complete strangers ❤️

Darwin is not the most typical cat, especially in his appearance! His huge, upward turned eyes and habit of revealing his second eyelids make him look permanently cross-eyed, which always makes me and my family laugh. He also has the most precious habit of flopping onto the ground head first, belly up whenever he wants attention ☺️ Not to mention, he LOVES belly rubs which I've never seen in a cat

Back in 2020, Darwin faced his first urinary blockage. We had never experienced anything like it, and I've never been so scared of losing someone that I love. We rushed him to the Veterinary Emergency Group, and ended up paying thousands. This happened 2 more times, costing us more and more in medications and treatments. This time, he had to receive a very invasive surgery: a PU surgery.

I've always paid for Darwin's treatments myself, even as a 20 year old college student. This time however, I had to spend the savings I was building up to finally move out :( I'm just hoping for a little bit of help so that I can still move out by August.
