Sailor Cartwright hasn't added a story.
My name is Sailor, and this firecracker feline is Sabrina. She is 15
and my best friend. We have been through a ton together, including
getting displaced from our home in Philadelphia after a fire and
driving back to Maine to start over earlier this year. With the help
of family I was able to get a car and save enough to get us our own
place. Within a week she was at the vet with suspected kidney disease
and UTI.
A couple months passing leads us to today. I woke up to her
squeaking in my face, like she does each day, wanting snax and water
from the bathroom sink. At some point she started getting sick all
around the apt and there was blood. I packed her up and we were back
to the vet. The more extensive testing done this time confirmed the
kidney disease theory and showed likelihood of very mild
hyperthyroidism. The tests and medications from just this visit
totalled almost $500, with another $200 in 4 weeks when we re-do blood
tests. Her monthly prescription food and medications will total $90-100.
The thing is, Bean is happy. Both docs she has seen say could live
for a long time. She plays and snuggles and jumps up on counters and
wants to eat my dinner (and sometimes tries) and knocks stuff over to
get attention and I love her so much. While she is doing alright and
her health issues can be managed I can't let her go. I have promised
her that. And that when she stops being happy and wanting food and
play and lets me know, I will and won't go anywhere.
So I'm broke. I dipped into my food and rent money to pay for
today and will have to do the same next month. I'm hoping that this
will help me catch up and plan for her future health needs. Thanks for
reading. <3
