My Nonprofit Reviews

My cat Dusty has Cerebellar Hypoplasia. His condition makes him very delayed in many areas & at slightly over 5 years old, was just coming into heat. Anesthesia is always a risk, but even moreso for a cat with this disorder, so no vet where I previously lived would agree to neuter him. We had moved to a new state about a year ago & recently found an amazing veterinary office. They did his neuter with no issues. Totally unrelated, he ended up with a UTI with a blockage a week later. I was given antibiotics, but after a week he became very lethargic & painful. I rushed him in on 2/5 & he would end up needing a surgery (urethrostomy) to save his life.
I was confident in the vet even though there were risks. He had the surgery, but there were complications. I thought I was going to lose him. On top of that emotional stress was the financial part. I didn't have the funds available for the neuter let alone a surgery & long hospital stay. I was advised to look up & apply for assistance & one of the organizations that was recommended to me was Pet Assistance Inc. I applied & Ruth was very helpful. Dusty ended up staying in the hospital for 17 days. It was a difficult time, but getting approved for a grant from Pet Assistance Inc alleviated some of that pressure. I was able to focus my attention on getting my boy well. He's been home a little over a week now & he's getting stronger by the day.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to Ruth & the folks that made a tough time a little easier. Thank you! 🙏
