Steve is a 3-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Saint Petersburg , FL, who needs $2,000 for Unblock Urethral Obstruction.

I met my sweet boy Steve about 2 years ago. He was a stray cat who frequented the neighborhood some of my dearest friends live in. Hearing his meows as he ran down the sidewalk to greet me before i went into my friends house always brightened my day. So when I was finally settled in my new apartment with my current partner here in st. petersburg, we decided to adopt him.

Steve has always been a sweet cat. We have two other pets, a dog named Gabbi, and another cat named Mango. At first it took some time for Mango to adjust to his new family members but now they act just like brothers would. Steve used to be very shy around Gabbi and would never go too close but now shockingly i can say, i’ve caught them laying together.

There is nothing I don’t love about Steve and I am grateful for him everyday. He is our expert biscuit maker, with thumbs to prove it, and the most cuddly cat, especially when we need it the most. His bond with our other cat Mango and the way they play fight and run around the house, no matter what time it is, warms our hearts and makes us laugh.

About 1 1/2 weeks ago Steve was showing signs of extreme discomfort and was not acting like himself at all. He had a urinary blockage and had to be admitted to a hospital overnight to clear said blockage. For a week he seemed to doing just fine until yesterday he was straining to pee again. So today we took him back to the urgent vet. Without treatment Steve could pass away, and I cannot bear that

We are two young adults supporting ourselves and already I had to open a CareCredit card to pay for his first hospital visit, which was around 2,810 dollars. We simply cannot afford another operation or a more permanent fix which would cost around 3-5k. Please help us.
