Grim is a 7 year old American Shorthair in St. Louis, MO, who needs $2,500 for Perineal Urethrostom (PU Surgery).

I bought Grim (nicknamed "Bruno" as a joke) on Christmas Eve of 2019 as a gift for myself after losing my mom to suicide in October of 2018, and my grandpa in July 2019. They were the only family I had, I had no friends, nothing, just a job. Getting Grim was the best decision I ever made, he's my soul cat, and he's indoors only, spoiled and so loved. I would give my life for him if I could.

Grim has a condition called FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), this is his third time having a flare up. He has had a blockage twice before. Currently, he is not blocked, but his bladder is inflamed and he is on medication, he is only peeing once a day and is very sedated. The surgery would be life changing for him.

Grim is special to me because he's my best friend, & my child. I got him at a really difficult time in my life & he has helped to heal me as much as possible. Losing Grim feels like losing my family all over again, I can't live without him. I know one day he will go of old age, but I don't want it to be from something like this. He's so sweet, so smart, he's like a human in a cat body.

I have Scoliosis & Raynaud's syndrome, being screened for any autoimmune diseases, or cancer, currently unemployed due to my health. I make very little money monthly. My roommate gets paid so little & can only afford our rent, bills. I pay $160 monthly for Grim's food.
