Fergus is a 4 year old American Shorthair in Alexander, NY, who needs $101 for Gabapentin and Physical Exam.

I have autism and fibromyalgia, meaning I'm permanently disabled. My mom was appointed my rep payee when I was young, and she had complete financial control over me until just last year, when I was finally able to take charge of my own funds. I moved out, but had to leave my cats behind with her. I would like Fergus and Beni to join me in my new place as I work towards gaining more independence.

Fergus has always been an anxious little boy, and had a habit of obsessively grooming himself until his skin was raw (last pic). The treatment? To get him an "emotional support animal" of his own- Beni! Beni has helped Fergus feel much less stressed in the house he is used to. To move him, he will need to be cleared by Flint Veterinary and given any necessary meds so he doesn't pick up old habits.

Fergus and Beni have been my best friends for several years. The three of us have a bond unlike any other. We've cared for one another throughout our illnesses and disabilities, and being apart for so long has been tough on us all. Fergus is shy and puts on a "tough guy" act to scare off strangers- hiding under the couch and staring menacingly. Don't be fooled! To me he's a big, sweet, softie.

I'm on a fixed income due to my disabilities. I also have debt from when my mom was handling my money. I pay for my cats to stay with my mom, so I will be able to afford their upkeep and routine visits. It's hard to save extra right now, but I need my cats safe at home.
