Mama is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Sultan, WA, who

Mama came into my life 4 years ago as a feral cat it took me 4 months to catch her. She was so skinny and sick. I took her to vet in Buckley she had worms and infections.She is my life!! I recently took her to cascade vet for her ear it’s swollen on her ear flap we put her on antibiotics it almost cleared up. But once antibiotics were gone it’s swollen again the cost for further treatment is high

Cascade vet wants to drain it and send in sample and possibly steroids unfortunately I cannot afford this quite expensive. I know she is in pain I am at a loss

Mama is the sweetest cat I have ever had she loves our hound dog Harley she cleans his ear all the time. She talks to me ,she sleeps on my head and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She makes me laugh she has an attitude as well if I don’t give her a treat when I get home.

I have been out of work since Oct 2024 and am struggling just to live. I feel horrible I know she hurts because she is just not herself I feel like a horrible person.
