Gray is a 1-year-old Cat in Lynchburg, VA, who needs $2,000 for URI.

It was June 2022 about 2 weeks after I had graduated from HS. I was outside with my parents and we started hearing a tiny meow. We soon saw that it was an adorable grey kitten probably no older than a month or two. I stayed outside for two hours in the rain to finally get him to come out. A few days after rescuing him, I couldn't think of a name, so I decided to name him Gray because of his fur.

Gray, loves to sleep in my room with me. A lot of nights he sleeps at the foot of the bed. He loves to make biscuits on my bed and the couch. Some of his favorite things are belly scratches, long naps, and going in the backyard and also playing with the neighbors cats.

When Gray isn't hanging out with me, he loves going to see the neighbors cat "Princess" and playing or snuggling. He also loves scaring people by popping out from around the corner and getting the zoomies.

Recently within the last week, Gray developed some eye discharge followed by a bad cough, decreased appetite, and heavy breathing after going outside. Over the last couple of days he has been slowly getting worse.

I'm a college student in my second year of school. I just moved out to my own place( unfortunately they don't allow pets) so Gray has been staying with my parents. As a result, I'm not in a place financially right now to be able to take him to the vet, even the emergency vet
