Rice is my 10-year-old black and white cat who has been my constant companion through every hardship. We live alone in Laureldale, PA outside of Reading, and he's literally all I have - no family, just us. Rice has survived a previous urinary blockage, but tonight he's suffering again - crying in pain, straining to urinate with only blood drops coming out. I've been awake over 24 hours caring for

Rice has urinary crystal blockages and needs immediate emergency care. He's blocked again - crying in pain, straining to urinate with only blood drops. Without treatment tonight, this is fatal. Taking him to PetHealth Urgent Care Wyomissing, 945 Hill Ave, Reading PA 19610. Needs catheterization and fluids immediately. Estimated cost with transport is $600-800, likely more.

Rice is gentle, loving, and incredibly resilient. He follows me everywhere, sleeps curled against me every night, and "talks" to me with little chirps when I come home. When I'm having bad days with my disability, he stays extra close. He's not just my pet - he's my family, my emotional support, and my reason to keep going when everything feels hopeless. Im so scared of losing him cause of money.

I just paid my entire savings to avoid eviction, leaving me with nothing for Rice's emergency. I work but live paycheck to paycheck due to my disability, and have no family to turn to. Rice is all I have - losing him would devastate me completely.
