Free Luigi Meowgione from High Vet Bills

One chilly October night, Luigi was ready to start his retirement from life outside. He’s enjoying being a house cat, but it sure is an adjustment. He went from a 15lb stray, non-neutered male in a neighborhood with a population problem (he was the problem) to a 19lb cozy fluffball. He knows it’s time to rest inside. He has so many good years ahead!

Luigi is a handsome guy with magnetic energy. His stoicism and poise add decorum to daily life. But sometimes, he’ll suddenly turn into the silliest guy and steal everyone’s heart. Chasing his tail, bumbling around the house, and jumping straight up in the air when surprised.

He’s seen how the rising costs of healthcare were affecting his fellow strays, and knows he’s one of the lucky cats! With the support of our community, I know he’ll live a long, healthy life.

Luigi started having small accidents around the house, hiding, and acting strangely. It was an emergency urinary blockage! These can be life threatening for cats so he got to the hospital at 2am. He was treated with fluids, got some testing and came home. But 12 hours later he was back, needing a 2-day hospitalization and catheter. Luigi’s human was very stressed about the costs. But like so many faced with a medical emergency in the US, she had to make a quick call and deal with the crushing credit card debt later.

Mr. Meowgione is home, recovering, purring on a lap. He hopes that this post spreads some much needed joy and appreciates anyone even considering supporting him!!
