Phil is a 3 year old Maine Coon in Lakeside, CA, who needs $2,000 for Urinary Catheter.

We met Phil on a farm—he ran right up to us, fearless and full of energy. He’s wild, loves wrestling with our dog, and always makes a show when his food bowl is empty. He’s not into cuddles, but he’s always nearby, quietly keeping me company. He’s stubborn, and sweet. Life is better when Phil is in it.

Phil was having trouble using his liter box and was leaving puddles on the floor. And crying a lot. We took him to the ER and discovered Phil has crystals in his urine which if left untreated will lead to kidney failure. He doesn’t require surgery but a catheter and 48 hour stay in the emergency room. At veterinarian emergency group at Camino de la reina, San diego

He makes us laugh with his food bowl drama, wrestles like a champ with our dog, and still finds quiet ways to show he cares. He’s wild, loyal, and exactly the kind of companion we didn’t know we needed. He’s obsessed with Amazon boxes.

Completely unexpected massive ER bill, having to go on a payment plan to take care of it but we have to pay it off in six months which I’m not sure is doable. Any little bit helps. Phil is my buddy and my wife’s baby.
