Onyx is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Glendale, NY, who needs $8,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) Surgery.

I currently live with my two cats Honey and Onyx. They’re both male cats from the same litter and I rescued them from a garage when they were 3 weeks old. We live in a pretty small apartment so it is tight but we make the most of it.

Onyx has been struggling with struvite crystals in his urine since he was about 1.5-2 years old. I’ve kept him on the Hills prescription dry food diet but unfortunately that was not enough and he sustained two back-to-back urinary blockages. He is a candidate for PU surgery and the IAC Urgent Care Clinic provides the surgery at a hefty cost.

Onyx is truly a special cat. He is the most loving, affectionate, and caring cat and loves to run around the house and play with everyone he meets. He is not shy to strangers and lays on their laps as soon as he meets them. One particular thing about Onyx is that he goes absolutely crazy over a measuring tape. He is obsessed with the sounds it makes and tries to jump at it whenever I elongate it.

I recently just finished school and have been really struggling to land a job. I don’t have a stable source of income and cannot afford any more vet bills
