Eugene is a 7 year old American Shorthair in Morgantown , WV, who needs $2,000 for Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease Treatment.

Eugene came to me via his mother Honey. She was found outside very pregnant & was brought in by a couple - Eugene & Rebecca. I fostered Honey & named her first 2 kittens after the couple. I helped birth him. He was my first & only foster fail. We currently have 12 fosters. Gene is one of 5 permanent residents. He was born 04/20/18.

Gene was in a lot of pain, vocalizing, lethargic, & vomiting. I observed him unable to urinate. He had a major blockage. They removed a massive mucus plug, but he was still blocked. He currently has a cath that will be in for 48hrs. We hope it will clear his blockage & not reoccur. If it does, he will require surgery to make him anatomically female. He will need prescriptions for life.

Eugene is beloved by everyone who meets him. He loves everyone. Even at the vet. He is the old figure for all the fosters who come through. He is my ESA & was my rock when my 14 y.o. dog passed a few years back. Most importantly, my autistic 4 year old son cares for him deeply. He even pulled his vet kit out to try to fix him before we took him to the vet.

I was out of work last year during a complicated pregnancy & birth. We ended up exhausting all of our funds & found ourselves in major debt. We are still trying to recover from it while still supporting our children, pets & fosters.
