Kharjo is a 3-year-old Shorthair Domestic Cat in Spokane, WA, who needs $2,000 for UTI Treatment.

Kharjo was from a litter of stray kittens that we took care of while visiting with the kids’ grandma. We brought him home once he was old enough, and has been a staple in our lives ever since.

Kharjo is not a regular house cat — He is incredibly intelligent, and has bonded with me and my children as though they are his siblings. He is mine and oldest daughter’s emotional support baby.

He feels he is one of us. He follows us everywhere, he sleeps with me (Mom), he’s very attentive and even chats with us. He always shows concern when things are wrong, he’s always snuggly when someone is sad or upset. He even tries to be involved in our daily activities. He can open doors and cabinets, and actively problem solves.

As I mentioned above, he is very intelligent and loving. He has conversations with us, he learns to solve problems, he’s always making sure he’s in the room with Mom or the kids and making sure everyone is safe. He has helped prevent my and my daughter’s suicidal ideation several times in his life, and is always vocalizing to us when there’s any issues around the house.

He was very vocal about pain today. He was very cuddly, and kept expressing to me that there was a problem. I checked food, water, box — we had the box completely cleaned, food and water filled. He still expressed an issue. He got quieter as he developed even more pain.

He is currently being treated at the Pet Emergency Clinic and Referral Center in Spokane, WA. I was denied financing…

Kharjo is my son and my daughter’s brother. We are a low income family that only recieves $871 a month for bills and rent. We have Section 8, but rent is going up to $655 in January. We have been denied credit and have no family help. Please, he means everything to us!!!
