Smoosh is a 2-year-old Domestic Short Hair Cat in Warwick , RI, who needs $1,500 for Antibiotics, Pain Medication, Possible Surgery (Perineal Urethrostomy).

I got Smoosh when he was about 6 months old. He was living in a house with 20 other cats and not getting the love and attention he deserved. I quickly began spoiling him with toys, treats and love. He loves snuggling, sleeping, and harassing his sister Tuna. Smoosh is the most loving cat and brings so much happiness and joy into my life.

Smoosh and my other cat Tuna enjoy playing with their mouse toys, climbing their cat tree and running through their tunnel. Smoosh loves pets and tummy scratches from
his auntie and is always looking for snuggles. He also enjoys knocking things off ledges and trying to eat the cream cheese off my bagels.

Smoosh is special because he seems to always know when his mom needs extra love. He senses sadness and anxiety and always comes to lay on me when he knows I need a hug. He has brought back the light in his sister who is an older cat, and has helped her remember how much fun it is to play and chase moths.

I brought Smoosh into the Bay State emergency veterinary hospital when he was struggling to pee. He was quickly rushed in when they realized he had a block in his urethra preventing him from peeing and causing a buildup of toxins in his body. His kidney values were very high and his bladder was very full. He stayed at the hospital for 6 days with a catheter, and lots of pain meds.

The cost of Smoosh’s care is more than I can afford. I work at a child care center teaching Pre-k and don’t make enough money to be able to pay extra bills. I live alone, and struggle as it is without the added on vet bills
