Hey, so I know I’ve been pretty quiet on here, and I apologize that I’m only coming back for this– I plan to stick around, though. But tumblr has always been best for crowdfunding type things.

I’ve been fairly quiet about my private life, but this is Mango. He’s a year old. We got him last year, after my grandfather died. While my parents have never been ones to ask each other for permission, they like to agree on things and the only reason my father agreed to let us bring Mango home was as a gift to my mother to help her during her loss- she’d always wanted an orange tabby. So he has a lot of emotional significance to her, since my dad doesn’t usually do gifts, at all.

He is a sweet, playful boy. Yesterday morning, I noticed he was squatting everywhere, as if he was peeing in places he wasn’t supposed to, but all that was coming out was little droplets of blood. We called the vet ASAP and they had us rush him over. He ended up having a urinary blockage, and he had to pay $800 after all was said and done. This morning he was having the same problem, even after I gave him the meds the vet prescribed and I had to take him back in.
I’ve been on unemployment since my job furloughed me, but didn’t qualify for the executive order for the $300 assistance because I only get $78 from unemployment. I have a carecredit account, and so does my mom, but we had to put them together to pay off the bill yesterday, and put in a bit extra. I have no idea what they will have to do to him this time or how much more it will cost. But we cannot afford it.

I would offer commissions but I haven’t drawn in two years. If you can spare a little to help, my paypal link is https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/reani . If you can’t, that’s fine, a reblog would be really helpful– I have honestly watched other people need help and been unable to help myself, and I know how bad it can feel, but shit is rough for all of us, this year has been a kick in the face, there’s no reason to pile on to those bad feels. In all honesty, just the good sentiment and the reblog are a big help.

Anyway, thank you for reading this. I’m sorry it’s a downer. Hug your cats, or dogs, or whatever animals bring you joy right now. Tell them I love them.
