Sebastian is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Anoka, MN, who needs $4,727 for Perineal Urethrostomy Surgery.

Sebastian came into my life at the most “purr”fect time. I had just lost a cat and was heartbroken when a friend reached out about two one-day-old rescue kittens needing a home. Those boys are now Sebastian and Finnigan. They have grown up side by side and are inseparable. They are each other’s comfort and joy. Any help to keep these brothers healthy and together would truly mean the world to me.

Sebastian was born with an abnormally small penis; so small I initially thought he was a girl. Unfortunately, this has led to repeated urinary blockages as crystals build up and obstruct his bladder. These episodes are becoming more frequent. Mission Animal Hospital recommends a perineal urethrostomy to create a wider opening, prevent further scarring, and help him urinate safely moving forward.

Sebastian is my vocal boy, always chirping for my or Finnigan’s attention. He and Finnigan are almost always side by side, wrestling or curled up together. If he is not with his brother, he is meeting me at the door or climbing into my arms to snuggle as close as he can. Other people? He tolerates them from a distance. He may be my emotional support animal, but I think I am his too.

This past year brought a divorce, a pay cut, rising rent, and medical bills. I am doing everything I can, but this surgery is more than I can manage alone. Sebastian’s condition is now life-threatening. He needs this procedure before permanent damage makes it too late.
