Theodore is a 4-year-old Mixed Cat in Santa Cruz, CA, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy.

When we got Theo as a baby we were actually homeless. We managed to pull ourselves out of that situation by working multiple jobs and now we have a home, car and a good life. Theo has stuck by us through everything and he is our baby. He deserves to enjoy the life we have built for him.

Theo sleeps under our blanket with us, sometimes on my chest in a ball. He gets talkative when he is anxious and he loves to watch over us from the highest location he can find. He comes running when you call his name. Even when he is outside and out of sight. He is such a good boy.

He is an anxious little boy by nature but he is happiest when hiding with us under blankets. He is a catnip addict and has a special fishy stuffed toy he hides in his favorite places.

We brought him to santa cruz vet hospital.he had been straining to pee all night and crying. They told us he had a blockage in his urethra and the estimate was $4000. We immediately applied for all the forms of aid we could and put down $1100 for a deposit. A few hours later they called and said they tore his urethra while trying to insert a catheter, so now he would need much more serious surgery

He is our baby and we will do anything to save him. He never abanadoned us and we won't abandon him. We work 10-16hrs a day and are living paycheck to paycheck. Still we will do whatever we have to.
