Macho is a 4 month old British Longhair in Ellenton, FL, who needs $620 for Sedation, Emergency Visit, and Radiographs.

My wife and I saved our money for years to be able to afford Macho. We always wanted a British Longhair because it reminded us of the cats we had as kids. As adults though and married with a child we couldn't afford one until the day we could. Macho is our little chubby boy. We call him chooch or our little girl calls him our little ball of fluff. Macho is such a special little family member.

We didn't notice at first and the breeder never told us but Macho has swimmers syndrome. It didn't and never will change our immense love for him. We call him our little splayed kitten. That's not the issue though. The issue is he swallowed yarn and we had to take him to the ER. VMC Emergency & Speciality. We received a huge bill and are panicked because the hurricanes took all of our savings.

Macho and our little 7 year old are best friends. He watches her do homework and play nintendo and they watch movies together. Macho is very chill when he wants to be but at times he can be a little pain in the butt. He likes to get behind the TV and takes any opportunity to sneak outside. We walk him on a leash and even bring him to grocery shop, yes we're weird haha. He's our family boy.

We simply don't have the money to afford this unfortunate incident. The 3 hurricanes literally wiped all our savings away. Fema helped but only a small percentage. Having this finincial burden removed from us would mean so much, it truly would.
