Taylor is a 7-year-old Tabby Cat in Jacksonville , NC, who needs $285 for Medication and Lab Work.

My cat Taylor is a rescue. I found him and his sister 7 years ago on the side of the road when they were just 2 weeks old. They were both so sick I almost lost them. He was diagnosed with diabetes and IBS last year. With everything getting so expensive it’s been hard to pay for everything, especially with my income only coming from disability.

Taylor is a very happy cat and is very close to his sister. Every night at bedtime he “tucks” me in. He waits until I’m in bed then jumps up to knead in my neck while purring. Then every morning I’m greeted by him sitting on the floor by my bed looking up waiting for me to get up and feed him. After he eats he runs over to his toy chest and waits to be brushed. We have a ritual haha

Taylor likes to head bunt and will want me to sit in floor while he’s on ottoman, so we are eye level, and he will roll around in excitement head bunting me and then giving me love bites on my scalp haha he’s very rough but doesn’t mean to hurt me he doesn’t realize his own strength. He’s very submissive when getting examined and getting insulin injections though.

Taylor started vomiting daily last year. I got an ultrasound and labs done. He was diagnosed with IBS and diabetes. His insulin, syringes, glucose strips and prednisone are expensive and now he needs labs done before the dr will order any more insulin because he has been on meds for a year. I take him to an animal clinic so the prices are as low as they can get them.

I’m on disability and with the inflation on everything I just font have the money to cover the labs right now but I have no choice in order for him to have his insulin. I have to not pay a bill somewhere every month to cover his care
