Mom Jeans is a 2-year-old Tuxedo Cat in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $2,000 for Urinary Tract Infection Treatment.

Mom Jeans, named after my partner’s favorite band, has become just as much my cat as he is my partner’s. The three of us live together, sleep together, exist together…It is difficult to imagine an existence as happy as one with him in my life.

Although he gets severely anxious around new people, he gets quite attached once you spend enough time around him. Every night when I come home from work, he’ll be waiting for me at the front door, and come to life as soon as I walk in.

Whenever I sit at my desk for too long, MJ makes himself known and jumps onto my desk, rubbing his furry body across my face and then plopping right on top of my keyboard. It’s hard to want to shoo such a loveable little boy, although equally just as hard to work on homework with him blocking my computer screen, haha :)

Although I did plenty research on what pet foods are best for a cat, and how to make sure an indoor cat feels loved, I couldn’t predict that a random UTI infection would bring him close to death. I couldn’t let him go without giving him a fighting chance, and I felt a deep want to treat him, even though I knew the costs would be steep.

My partner suffers from physical disabilities that forced them to quit their previous job, and as a result we’ve not only been short on rent but now also have a cat with large medical costs on our hands. I want to save him, but we are in deep need of help.
