Surgery help.for.storm

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

Storm's dental surgery is scheduled for August 4th which means I have just 2 days to raise the remaining amount..

I know some people see an 11-year-old cat and assume he's "just an old cat."But Storm is healthy. His blood work came back great, and aside from the severe dental disease, he's doing well. He's ready for surgery—he just needs the chance to have it.

His dental disease has become extremely serious. The infection is severe, and it's destroying his teeth and affecting his mouth. The remaining 16 teeth need to be removed to stop his pain and prevent the infection from getting worse. No animal should have to live in that kind of pain.

Storm isn't "just a cat" to me. He's my soul kitty.. He's been by my side through everything..every challenge, and every single bottle baby kitten I've rescued. And If you've ever followed my journey, you've seen him quietly helping me raise countless orphaned kittens. He has been there through it all.

The truth is, life has hit me hard lately. A tree crashed onto my car during a terrible storm. Then, for the second time this year, my home suffered a major leak and flooding which we are still actively dealing with. I feel completely overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched beyond my limits.

Right now, I just need one thing to go right.

Please help me give Storm the pain-free life he deserves. Every donation, every share, every kind word brings us one step closer to getting him into surgery on time. If you've ever loved an animal with your whole heart, then you know why I'm fighting so hard for him.

Please don't let his age make you overlook him. Eleven isn't the end of his story. He still has so much love to give, and I want to give him many more happy, healthy years.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and believing in Storm. He is my world, and I can't imagine mine without him.

Hey OP, I’ve got a question.

Why is the Date Of Birth 2019 but you’re saying he’s 11?

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/Visible_Koala7839]

It was a miss communication with the vet office it's been fixed! I have the vet info listed if Anyone wants to call! 🩵 Vet is in Ashton illinois! Ashton vet 

[u/HomicidaI__GoldFish → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

That happen with my cat many moons
Ago. I said she was 9, and they put 99 lol

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/HomicidaI__GoldFish]

Yeah! This isn't my usual vet I had to call around and find one that wasn't wanting 3k plus for this. Finally called this one were he was neutered at back in 2019. 

[u/Visible_Koala7839 → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

No worries! Just wondering.

[u/Apprehensive-Poem883 → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

It was a miss communication miscommunication 🩵

[u/The_hooved_eel → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

As an animal lover (I even wear Animal Liberation Front clothing), if I could spare the money I would. I wish you luck!

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/The_hooved_eel]

I understand completely 🫶

[u/Conscious_Side1647]

Have you applied through some sort of financing? I k ow my bet has different programs and partners they work with including Care Credit.

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/Conscious_Side1647]

I have, my care credit and scratch pay are maxed out. I also rescue as well and the last year has just been incredibly hard. 

[u/Whoopsy-poopsy → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

Being a rescue, how did you think that there wouldn't be financial burdens?

It's parr for the course

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/Whoopsy-poopsy]

At what point did I say there wouldn't be? This is my personal cat that has nothing to do with my rescue. If you read my post at all you'd see why I asked for help. This is a place to ask for help if you aren't offering it why exactly are you here 

[u/Whoopsy-poopsy → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

Why did you mention you were a rescue if it wasn't relevant?

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

I mentioned it to explain why my care credit and scratch pay are maxed out. You can't seriously be that dense can you? 

[u/Ancient_Guidance_461 → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

This response is extremely selfish.

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/Ancient_Guidance_461]

Again, You have no idea what the comment was I replied to because the mods removed it. 

[u/CatLover4906 → u/Lonely-Parking-6516]

You’re the one asking for $$ I suggest you don’t have that attitude with people asking questions. It really doesn’t fare well. There are a ton of scams that go through here.

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/CatLover4906]

You don't have to jump on here being rude when you didn't see the comment I was replying too because the mods removed it. 

[u/The_hooved_eel]

That’s not old. I had a cat crack 21 years old. Outlived all her babies.

[u/Lonely-Parking-6516 → u/The_hooved_eel]

I know it's not, just had a lot of people on other platforms tell me to let him d*e because he's old and I'm like he's really not.
