Taco is a 7-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Huntingtown , MD, who needs $2,000 for Urinary Obstruction Treatment

One day I saw a litter of kittens up for adoption online. A big orange one caught my eye and I was in love. I had to have it. I knew my husband wouldnt willingly let me get a second cat. So I told my husband I was going out for tacos and I would be back soon. An hour later, I came home with "Taco" the kitten. My husband thought it was so clever. He wasn't even upset I brought another cat home.

Taco is a mama's boy all the way. But he loves a good belly rub from dad every now and again. He's the BEST snuggler ever. And he will definitely let you know when he is happy. He is very talkative and a purr machine. You can hear him from across the room most days. He's a warm lap when you need it.

Taco likes to yell "mom" or say "hello" when he can't find anyone in the house. He's a very needy boy. But we love that about him. It always makes us laugh when he walks through the house yelling "hello?" Like he's saying, is anyone there? I need cuddles.

Taco has been diagnosed with bladder stones. One or more of the stones has become stuck in his urethra and won't allow urine to pass. He is currently at Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic (AAVEC) being treated. They put a catheter in to unblock his urethra. But he still has stones in his bladder and will require surgery to prevent this from happening again. It's called a Cystotomy

This is an unexpected emergency. We live paycheck to paycheck with no emergency funds what so ever. It seems like every corner we turn, its a new disaster. We really would appreciate any help we can get.
