Ellie is a 6-year-old Tortoise Shell Cat in Lake Worth, FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery to Remove Obstruction and Monitor Chronic Kidney Disease.

Ellie and I found each other less than two years ago at a shelter and my life has been changed ever since. She is our life! She is our only animal and we currently live in a 2 bedroom house in Florida and we love all the space we have for her!Ellie is our entire heart and soul. WE quickly become inseparable since the day we saw each other.

She is our shy girl, but once Ellie knows you, to know her is to love her! She is the most gentle soul I have ever encountered. She only wants to give love and purrs to whoever she meets.

Ellie is like a dog in the way she responds to us, follows us around, we can even get her to play fetch! She is our special girl, where it takes her a little longer to warm up to you, but when she does, she is all love and cuddles. She is the most unique kitty we have ever owned. She must sleep on our heads every night and we know that if she doesn't, something is not right! She is our girl.

We took Ellie into the vet (Access Specialty Animal hospital) and when they ran tests, she was constipated secondary to chronic renal disease in her left kidney and an obstruction in her right kidney.
They took her into emergency surgery place stent to bypass obstruction. Ellie was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and now has a special diet and care we will do for the rest of her life.

The vet bills so far have amounted to around $13,000, not including the future special care she'll need. I work but do not make enough for my cost of living and expenses. I do not have pet insurance or emergency fund to get from so any help is so so appreciated.
