Help ozzy get perineal surgery — gardner, KS

we rescued Ozzy when he was only 1yrs old when a neighbor moved away and left him behind, we would see him sleeping day and night outside our house because he had nowhere to go so we took him in and made him part of our family, we got all his shots done and fixed him and we de-flea him. He is very calm and extra fluffy and love to hunt Easter eggs.

On August 20, he became very sick from kidney disease caused by a urinary blockage. He had a similar issue back in February, and we were able to catch it early after taking him to two different vets. This time was much worse. I was told his treatment would cost thousands of dollars (between $4,000-$5,000), and I was heartbroken because I did not know how I could afford to save him. For a moment, I even had to sign over ownership so he could get the care he needed and not suffer. My kids were devastated at the thought of losing him, and so was I.

Thankfully, after seeing how much we love him and want him home, the vet gave him back to us and helped make sure he got the care he needed. He had to stay hospitalized all weekend and then have his perineal urethrostomy surgery on Monday. He now also needs a special Hill's prescription urinary care diet for the rest of his life. If you are able to donate or even share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to our family. Your support will help us cover his hospital bills, surgery, exam costs, and get started on his hills prescription diet food. Thank you for helping us keep our cat with the family that loves him.

he is our daughter first pet. we took the commitment on to take him in as our family and were trying as best as we can to care for him and help him stay healthy.

we are a family of 4 living off 1 pay check every 2 weeks, i'm a preschool teacher at a leathern child care center so i don't make much. we paid over 4,000 to hospitalize him and get his pu surgery done so he wont get blocked again but that's money we don't have and it'll be hard to pay it off before the interest kicks in.
