Mabel is a 15-year-old DSH in Euclid, OH, who needs $1,000 for possible blockage.

I wanted to complete my family 15 years ago. I had a one year old and a 4 month old kitten and Mabel the only girl was the one. The three got along wonderfully and then 2 years ago I lost both male cats due to health issues. I was devastated. Now I am going through the same with Mabel. I am completely heartbroken. She stopped eating 1 week ago. She moans when I press on her abdomen.

She always slept on my chest from the moment on brought her home. She has cried daily since losing her 2 brothers two years ago. She loved when I would sit with her and stroke her. Now she seems to be in so much distress. She is so sweet and loving and she is all I have and I am all she has. I love Mabel.

I all the sudden had to buy a car in June as the coolant in my 2006 car was leaking in to the head gasket. This completely wiped out my emergency fund. I am on SSDI with many chronic health issues. Mabel gives me such comfort dealing with my illness feeling so alone.

She almost completely stopped eating 1 week ago. Her abdomen may be puffy it looks and she groans/moans when I touch it. I took her in January to Gateway Animal Clinic in Cleveland for yeast in her right ear. She was overweight then, but everything else was normal until now. I am devastated she is sick.

I love how she began verbalizing with me more and and talking and purring. Sitting with her on my lap is so special and she loved her cat rubs. I would tell her all the the time I miss her brothers like she does. She loves when I talk to her. Sleeping together was so special because her brothers did not share this.
