Dorito is a 1-year-old Orange cat in Kent, OH, who needs $2,000 for Catheter and Bloodwork.

I rescued Dorito over a year ago, when his owner at the time was not able to take care of him anymore. Once he came into my life, I immediately knew how much I loved him and that him and I belonged to each other. He currently lives with me and my boyfriend, who love him very much, in an apartment. He has his own room in our apartment and is very spoiled.

Dorito loves to go on "walks", where we take him out into the hallway of our apartment complex and walk up and down the hall. He is so friendly and sweet, and always greets us and guests at the door. When we first got him, he liked to sleep in his cat bed but recently he has been sleeping in our bed with us. He has learned to love cuddling!

I am in my final semester of college, paid for 100% by myself. However, without hesitation, I would give any amount to save my baby. There is no price too high to save him. To have him healthy would make me so happy and make him feel so much better and back to himself again.

I took Dorito into the Veterinary ER last night because he was crying and unable to urinate. They told me he had a blocked Urinary Tract and they are keeping him for 48 hours with a catheter. He tested positive for a chronic disease where he can get UTI's when stressed. Because of the amount of tests and procedures he has to have, it is going to be costly.

Dorito is the most special cat I have ever met. He absolutely loves tuna, and recognizes when I pick it up just from the sound in the pantry. He loves his canned food, and when I say the word "snack" he recognizes that and knows it's coming. He also loves his toy tube, and runs back and forth through it for long periods of time.
