Nero is a 4 year old Snowshoe in Aurora, IL, who needs $2,000 for perineal urethrostomy (PU).

Nero came into our lives a couple years ago as a rescue . He has always been my mother’s little shadow and he’s a perfect cat companion. From his mellow temper to his love being as big as his appetite.

He started off declining on Friday 12/20/24 I noticed a big change in his demeanor by him starting to hide and started throwing up we took him to the Emergency services offered by VCA Aurora where they further analyzed that he was indeed blocked and we decided to proceed doing a urinary catheter. On Monday 12/23/24 they removed catheter but he is still straining so a PU surgery is needed.

Nero has a special place in our hearts because he is our family cat and is always around us at all times. From being our guard cat and always greeting us at the door to having dinner with us and joining us in harmony.

This is clearly a major unexpected expense and we weren’t financially ready for this we cannot afford to pay surgery in full to make it happen. With holidays coming up there are on call charges which increased his medical bid . Aside from his unblocking bill.
