Phoenix is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in lake elmo, MN, who needs $5,000 for ICU Stay.

Phoenix has been our baby since 8 weeks old and is now 5 1/2 years old. She has always been so full of energy and a has a very dog-like personality. She loves to play fetch and much to our dismay drink from the toilet. She loves her 2 brothers and her baby sister. She is a very loving cat to those she knows and a huge emotional support to her dad. Phoenix and her dad are inseparable.

We recently brought her to the Animal Emergency and Referral Center of Minnesota where we were quoted between up to $5840.61 for all of her testing and ICU stay. We unfortunately had to take her home due to cost and attempted care credit which said it would take up to 10 days to process. We are terrified for her because she is dehydrated and malnourished and continues to not eat or drink.

Phoenix is so special to us. She was the first addition to our family and we are not ready to lose her. She brings joy to everyone in the family. Though she can be spicy at times it just adds to her character. She is ready to jump in any box, chase every rubber band, and climb whatever she can see.

We are still recovering from our move last June and now dealing with childcare cost for our 6 month old daughter. After her initial visit at the pet hospital that put us in a financial deficit we don't even have the funding to take her in for a normal vet visit.
