Dexter is a 9-year-old Ragdoll in South Kent, CT, who needs $1,200 for Urethral Obstruction.

Dexter was 8 weeks old when I took him home. I just moved to Tennessee and figured we both could adventure this new strange place together. He came with me anywhere I went. I think he thinks he's a dog. He's been by my side for every road trip, the marriage of my husband, having 3 kids and even adding a dog to the family.

Dexter is known as a "Sour Patch Kid" one minute he's hiding behind something just pounce out and scare the crap out of you and the next he's cuddling up next to you. He loves to nap on anything soft. He will get into the linin closet just to sleep on a blanket. Our kids love him, even when he plays rough. He plays with our dog Vader as if he was a dog too.

Currently I homeschool our kids because of Covid so my husband is the only one working. With this sudden expense we used our savings to pay what we could but its just not enough to cover the full treatment. I cant lose him. Losing him would be like losing a child.

Thursday night I found Dexter just laying in our kids playroom and just by looking at him I knew something was wrong. He didnt want to eat and he NEVER refuses food. He was meowing in a meow that I've never heard. Rushed him to Guardian Vet Hospital in Brewster NY to find out he had a Urethral Blockage (couldn't pee) He died on the table but they revived him. He's stable but still critical.

Dexter is not a typical cat. He plays fetch. If I cant find him all I have to do is whistle and he comes. Him and the dog tag team to catch birds or squirrels together. If you go for a walk he goes for a walk and doesn't leave your side. He loves car rides. He'll even hop in the bath or shower with you. And he refuses to use a litter box. He just goes in the shower if no one lets him outside. HAHA
