Yami is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in Bridgeport, CT, who needs $2,000 for Urinary Catheterization.

I have had Yami(full name Yami no Nami) ever since he was a little 8 week old kitten, along with his only sibling Salem. They joined my oldest cat, Ruby, when she was a year old. The brothers are almost inseparable since they came through my door over two years ago, either fighting, cuddling or just grooming eachother. Together we make a family.

In the last couple days Yami became blocked and unable to successfully go to the bathroom. After waiting to see if it was just a temporary problem, I got him checked out as soon as possible after watching him all night. Once I got him to Companion Animal Hospital this morning, I was told that I was lucky to get him there when I did and that he would at least immediately need to be catheterized.

Yami and Salem are two peas in a pod. Yami isn't as much of a cuddle bug as Salem, but whenever I call Salem to come in my lap Yami will be right behind him. He'll jealously watch us while I hug his brother, and as soon as he leaves my lap Yami will roar and chase Salem across the apartment, starting one of their little rival fights. Eventually Yami just started hogging my lap instead!

I didn't want him to be in any more pain or worse, so I agreed to have him treated with the understanding that he is surrendered to Companion Care Hospital to find a new home. He is staying there until Saturday 4/27, and from that point I must either pay or surrender my boy.
