Norman Bates is a 10 month old American Shorthair in Salem, OR, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy.

Norman came into my life when my friends found him alone in the forest. I had been looking for a cat for so long, and he just fell into my lap. Over the past six months, he’s been my rock, keeping me stable and giving me a reason to take care of myself. I love him more than anything, and I don’t know what I’d do without him. Now, he needs help, and I can’t afford it.

Norman suddenly got sick, and I rushed him to the vet. They said he has a urinary blockage, which is deadly if not treated immediately. He needs emergency surgery, but they won’t do it unless I pay upfront. I don’t have the money, and without help, he won’t make it. I love this cat more than anything, and I can’t lose him. If you can donate or share, it could save his life.

Norman is so special because he’s not just a cat—he’s my best friend. He’s a shoulder kitty, always climbing up to be close to me. He’s incredibly friendly and playful, always reminding me that there’s a brighter side to life. No matter how hard things get, he keeps me going. He gives me a reason to smile, to be responsible, to keep moving forward. I love him more than anything.

I just lost my job and only just got a new one—I haven’t even started yet. Even if I was working, I don’t have $4,000 to give a vet right now. Norman needs emergency surgery, and without it, he won’t make it. This is so urgent. If you can donate or share, it could save him.
