Zorba is a 0 year old American Shorthair in Baltimore, MD, who needs $2,000 for Urethral Catheterization.

Zorba was adopted from BARCS. A true city topcat. We've been together 2+ years now and are now each other's family. Zorba was originally names Castor. But we changed his name to Zorba to give him some ethnic character. Zorba means 'bully' in Turkish. But Zorba is not a bully. He can assert his needs and respect mine too.

Zorba had a sudden urethra blockage and required emergency hospitalization as his bladder could burst anytime. I did not know until hospitalization that he has a genetic tendency to develop crystals and mucus in his bladder. He is being treated at Everhart Veterinary Cross Keys Baltimore and Pet+E.R Hunt Valley Maryland.

Zorba is a distinguished gentleman. He always loves to sit between me and friends and family and listen to all the gossip and tea. He also is vocal for his needs for outdoor runs and catnip treats. Loves to snuggle with me and does not want me to leave his side when he sleeps. Until I do. He respects visitors boundaries but will walk around them for pets and scratches.

I was recently laid off from my Academia job due to federal cuts to research funding. I lost my own health insurance and my Cat's pet insurance along with my job. I need help in paying medical bills and food bills for my beautiful boy cat, Zorba.
