just yesterday my mom took in one of our cats to get examined as she has lost lost of weight in the past months. SHe took her in before in which the vet didnt know what may be wrong other than a minor infection, but when she kept throwing up water and her food (which she barely ate), my mom HAD to take her back to get thoroughly examed.. needless to say they found something.. at first they thought it was a tumor, but after further review they found out that her stomach ended up in her chest and is pressing against her esophagus, making it hard for her to eat, drink, and breath..
they gave her some ensure and my mom started to cry as our cat lapped it up purring deeply the whole while..

now the good news, is that her condition is operable...
the bad news is, of course, how much its going to fricking cost...
and right now, my mom can afford some of it.. but not all.. and as it is, i myself am still trying to get back on my feet, my brother is in debt, and my dad is paying for all the other bills in the meantime..

so here i am, humbly asking anyone.. and i mean ANYONE on FA to help.. we need atleast 600$, and im asking for anything anyone can give...

please spread the word..i mean, ive given to alot of people here on FA for donations, whether its for their troubles, familial troubles, or pet troubles.. i just ask for some help in return as she is a loving family member that still has many years left ahead of her...i want to atleast give her the chance to live on...

of course this wont go without compensation, and so whomever does donate will get free artwork from me.. i just really hope that people out there do help.. thank you all in advance!!

**EDIT**

any donations can be sent to my paypal Striker_Fox[at]hotmail.com
again, thank you all so very much for any help you can!

UPDATE

---

well the sugery went well.. even tho we got a deferred payment, still gonna cost atleast 600 upfront.. so far i only go two donations... lots of support tho from everyone which i am thankful.. and even more thankful to those that did donate..

anyway, she did get thru the surgery.. BUT.....there WERE tumors... on her stomach, which caused her to throw up more and more over the years.. so they did a biopsy which we are still awaiting the results.. the goodnews to that to me, is that its not in ther bloodwork, meaning that it didnt spread to any of ther other organs.. so if anything, hopefully it comes back as benign and operable...

again, if anyone else can find it in their hearts to donate it would really help! and again, free art.. i know its not much for compensation.. but its all i can do right now...
