Seth Regensburg hasn't added a story.
Almost four years ago, Senpai entered our home and lives. Neighbors informed us that prior to our arrival to this neighborhood, as a kitten, this majestic, sweet Maine Coon was abandoned, and spent over a year homeless, during which time, he was abused by a boy who lived at the end of the block.
Despite his trauma, Senpai immediately knew that we are cat people, and chose us as his forever family. Immediately upon his arrival, he became an integral member of our family, and became comrades with our other three cats. Although all of our cats are spayed and neutered, he and Nightshade function as life partners.
He and I are kindred spirits. I suffer severe, chronic medical issues and associated pain, along with PTSD. With empathy, compassion, patience, and determination, along with over four decades of experience with cats, I helped him to surmount his trauma. He certainly helps to mitigate mine--sleeping with me, tucked beneath my chin, snuggling, accompanying me for walks, and so much more. The bond which he and I share is profound; he helped to achieve full fluency in Cat. We communicate on an inexplicably deep level.
Last night, he returned with deep lacerations to his eye, ear, and forehead. I fear that his eyeball itself may be injured, in which case, expedient surgery may be necessary. Additionally, I discovered what may be a tumor or a cyst. At minimum, he requires an immediate exam, biopsy, diagnostics, antibiotics, and perhaps, staples. I did not want to deploy my camera's flash into his eye. Thus, the accompanying photo understates its condition.
Presently, my medical conditions limit my ability to work, making finances very tight. Last week, I paid almost $1,000 for an unanticipated auto repair, which tapped me out. I cannot even remotely afford an exam fee.
Senpai is far more than a pet; he is an equal family member, cherished by my sons, his feline companions, and me.
His departure would be a devastating tragedy. Words cannot properly illustrate our love for Senpai. Without hesitation, I would sacrifice my own life for his.
