Hi! This is Mickey Mouse, the cat no one wanted. He showed up one day all mangy & scrawny. You can tell he was abandoned and didn’t know how to fend for himself in the rough streets full of stronger feral cats and dogs. He begged to come inside and desired affection. We already had two cats but we fed him as an outdoor stray and had his mange treated. Even after treatment his fur was still in bad condition. Poor guy, tried to find him a home but with his patchy fur and constant fighting wounds, he wasn’t very pretty. The neighbors avoided him and thought he was ugly. One day he showed up with a gash on his neck that was gushing blood. We took him to the vet and he tested FIV+. I cried very hard that day. The vet said he was healthy enough not to put him to sleep. We already had two cats and were reluctant to take the burden of a third who needed so much medical attention but I paid the high vet bill and brought him indoors. He is very mild temper and didn’t fight with my two cats, so they’re not endangered of FIV infection. You can tell how grateful he is to be safe and he’s very well behaved. Probably afraid he could lose his new home if he causes trouble.
He has needed medical attention for random things and everyone knows how much a cat can cost. His fur fully grew out and he looked very healthy with the exception of his teeth. Recently there has been a change in our living situation and I’m trying to improve our quality of life. I recently learned that his patchy fur was actually caused by outdoor allergies and his teeth needed urgent attention. The bills for his oral surgery and allergy treatment has accumulated to almost $1k in the last few months.
It’s very hard to find an apartment that accepts cats and if they do, they want $300-500 extra deposit and $25-50 a month per cat. My little family now consist of two cats (one passed away) and myself with only one income. These recent bills are just another obstacle in improving our living situation. We are living in a good place for now but we need your help to move forward. If you have the means and are generous enough, we would greatly appreciate any contribution to payoff these recent bills so I can focus on our other expenses. If you are unable to help financially, please share our story. With FIV, i don’t know when and if he’ll become deathly ill. My other cat who passed away suddenly was bonded to her sister and was an emotional support for me. I want to provide my two remaining cats with the best possible life and your help will make that possible. Thank you for your time and consideration.
*Please note that he is FIV, not FLV or leukemia. You might see my post on another website. I am updating what is raised from one site to the other. I’m trying to reach as many people as possible.
