Sunny is a 5-year-old in Honolulu, HI, who needs $2,000 for Urethral Obstruction Removal.

Sunny is 1 of 3 cats in the household. Eats like Garfield. Had to baby-proof the cabinet where we keep the food and treats to prevent him from getting to things. I saved him off the streets as a newborn kitten intending to give him to the local shelter. Got attached and kept him, bottle feeding him in-between classes in college.

Like most orange cats, Sunny has a huge personality. He comes when called, sits when instructed, and will do just about anything for food. Being the youngest of our 3 cats he gets bullied, but is feisty as well. He’s got spunk and personality. Gives you attitude if he doesn’t get his way and will nip you on the leg in retaliation before running away to avoid getting in trouble.

Smart guy. Knows how to open sliding doors, cabinets, and most food containers. Will fight you for shrimp. Will nip you in retaliation if you deny him of what he’s after. Loves scratches, cuddles, and will turn climb atop your chest anytime you lay down. Separation anxiety is real with this one. Will carry his stuff bunny and cry whenever I leave the house or he thinks I’m gone.

Our primary vet clinic was closed on Sunday when we noticed Sunny having urinary issues. He couldn’t pee properly and left dribbles throughout the house. Threw up three times throughout the day and lost all appetite, huddled up in a corner. We had to admit him a 24/7 hospital - Veterinary Emergency + Referral Center of Hawaii (VERC) - which quoted us $3-5k for treatment and care.

$3140 was the final vet bill after taxes. To prevent reoccurrence, we will need to adhere to a new prescription wet food diet for Sunny. Me and my girlfriend recently took on a mortgage, so would appreciate any help we can get.
