Merle is a 11 year old Mix-Breed in Klamath Falls, OR, who needs $1,200 for Abscess Drainage.

I have autism and a very hard time interacting with people a lot of the time. Merle found me almost 10 yrs ago and we've been together ever since. He gives me happiness. I give him hapiness and catfood. He now has a horrible smell and a huge bubble thing on his face. I can barely sleep or eat. Im sick with the thought he is suffering. But he still eats and is hungry. I dont think he's ready to go.

I dont have a vet for him where i live now yet. But he needs help and im unable to help him. I was told it was probably an abcess. I cant afford to take him in to even be seen. Plus someone said because im poor they'll try to put him down. I cannot even think about it.

He knows me. He needs me. I need him. He is like my shadow. The thought of him not being by my feet makes me sick. And angry. And very sad. He is still happy to be alive and until this happened, he was doing just fine

I have just lost a 4 yr disability case and have not been able to provide like before my accident. I had facial reconstructive surgery after a accident. My cat has been my therapy animal friend and a warm blanket for my life. I have no surviving family i can contact.
