Prissy is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Overland Park, KS, who needs $13,000 for CT Diagnostic Imaging, Rhinoscopy.

Prissy has been with me for 5 of her 6 years. It took her a bit of time to warm up after she was rehomed with me, but her hard-won affection is deeply cherished. I named her Prissy ironically since she's anything but prissy.

I need help with diagnostics. The problem is ongoing but the nasal blockage issue occurred 10/2025. I took her to Mission Veterinary Emergency & Specialty in Mission, Kansas, and was quoted about $10,000 for the care she needs. I am trying to find an alternative to reduce costs, including getting a flush to see if that helps until I can pay for diagnostics.

She's a cat. She does cat things. I don't expect anyone to find her uniquely worthy of care. To me, all living things deserve ethical and moral treatment and all pets deserve loving care with a family. However, she is my baby. I think of her as family. She's special to me, even if she's "just another cat" to someone else.

I lost my job over a year ago and I have been unable to replace that income. I have been unemployed or underemployed since January 2025. I have burned through my savings, unemployment insurance, and a good portion of my retirement while simultaneously living on credit cards.
