Tux Hampton is a 4-year-old Mixed Breed Cat in Wilmington , NC, who needs $1,000 for Urethral Blockage.

We rescued tux when he was a tiny baby and he was taken from his mom too early so he thought my German Shepard was his mom. He actually nursed on her nipples and gave her mastitis 😬 but he has been our baby and we love him very much. He’s super sweet. Kneads in my hair every single night and is never mean! Tux has a one of a kind personality, for sure. Life would not be the same without him.

Tux is literally the sweetest cat I have ever met. He is always purring and always making biscuits (kneading) and he is definitely in constant need of attention. He gets along with our other cat very well and he loves our dog. We have two ferrets that he is not too fond of lol but we keep them separated. He loves chasing lasers and is a huge fan of squeeze ups.

He is very special to us because he is super attached to us and like I said before he kneads in my hair every single night.. it has become a nightly tradition. Tux never leaves our side when we are home. He would be devistated without us just as we would without him. He lays in some of the cutest ways. He’s just special and one of a kind.

We had noticed tux was losing weight pretty rapidly. We kept close eye on him. He has been urinating outside of the litter box for a couple of months. Once we realized it wasn’t behavioral & he was struggling to pee we took him to a veterinary hospital at 3am. Its a urethral blockage (deadly). They put a catheter on him for 2 days and sent him home. He has crystals. He still cant pee

Sudden major expense! Rent is due and we used our rent money to take him to the emergency vet to keep him alive. $1530.00 and now we aren’t sure if we can pay our rent & we still have to take him to the vet again to check on him. Any help would be greatly appreciated !
