Bit of an update on the cat situation. He has had a successful operation to remove the foreign object, which turned out to be a supremely compacted lump of hairball deep in his intestines that was blocking it up. He is currently still at the vet under observation overnight. At this stage it is looking like he is not going to have any further complications. The overall bill for this whole debacle is sitting at around $4.5k which is quite the unexpected hurdle to be sure and the reason why I was freaking out so much.

To that end, i really appreciate everyone so far that has been helping out by spreading the word, sharing it with their groups and to those that have donated to help out. It will go a great way towards helping to ensure that Tato was able to get the help he rightfully needed and that I didn't have to be put in the awful decision of choosing for my pets urgent care based on what I was able to afford/provide for him.
My sincerest gratitude goes out to everyone.

I will be leaving this here still for now, but tomorrow once i pay for everything and assess the damage i may pull this journal down and replace it with another one confirming the end of the whole situation.

I am keeping track of all of the people that have thus far, and once everything is sorted and the dust settled I am probably going to try and arrange for some sort of group picture with all of those involved as a means of thanking everyone for their support.

Lots of love from a very relieved nomsune and a very sore sad and sorry for himself Tato
