Goldie has been successfully rehomed and will continue taking her few tablets of vitamins left there. I'm sorry it took a week before I post an update here I had a really hard time letting her go and I want to be in a stable state before telling you what happened. I even cried in the mall as I was giving her carrier to her new family, which is embarassing. Her new family seemed to be very kind, and I told them to contact me in case they need help with Goldie.

This campaign actually started in a spur of the moment (is that what it's called?) Situation when Goldie's belly was suddenly bloating. I took her to a vet (which costed me all my savings) and she said Goldie was fine. However; after a few months Goldie's situation got worse. I made this camapaign after recalling a similar campaign done by a cat youtubers. I was in a very desperate situation and hoped people could help me.

I am the firstborn of a middle-waged family in the Philippines whereas stray cats are everywhere, kittens are abandoned and where poor people cant afford or doesn't even know about veterinary care for their cats/dogs. My family and relatives doesn't really care that much about animals as they have more important things to spend money on. Even the one who took Goldie in our house just abandoned her, so I took it upon myself to try and provide her basic needs. I just became aware of everything I should and can do for Goldie this year. When I'm already 16. I didn't even know about groups where you can rehome cats before I made this campaign.

Part of her medical reciepts.

So I made this and asked for help, I took Goldie to the vet immediately after I got the first donation I even had to leave a balance or kind of like a debt you would pay at a later date bacause it wasnt enough. I comented on several youtube videos and even messaged pages whom I thought would help me. It was a strike of luck for me to be noticed in one of the youtube videos I comented on and people's support just kept on pouring Goldie was able to continue her medication. But I was always kinda sensitive I felt bad for people leaving such negative comments on such a lovely video, I do understand and appreciate critisisms, but hateful comments just bacame too hard for me to handle so I stopped replying.

I also stoped posting on youtube as our internet connection got cut off. During the first few visits of Goldie at the vet, the vet said that she had worms and several sessions of deworming took a huge part of the money. I also purchased many of Goldie's needs through that money like her foods, carrier and several vitamins. In months, Goldie was properly recovering until one day, she stopped eating and refused to be touched. I was panicing I asked my mom to come with me to a different vet cuz the first one just wasn't able to detect Goldie's illness accurately, as she looked like she's feeling bad, during that day. I took her to a different vet and they found out through a blood test that she had an infection in her ovary, I didn't even know about spaying till this year, no one was there to tell me nor guide me. I haven't thought about spaying her that time because of her situation and Im afraid thatit'll harm her. The vet gave Goldie antibiotics and several tablets assupplements/vitamins for her liver.

Her belly shrunk 2x its original size! Also, sorry for blurry photos.

I really did want to keep Goldie. I swear. I even tried doing an online art shop that didnt really work out. I did apply to fastfood chains but many are not accepting underaged students. I tried the McDonalds near our area but it seemed like during this season all McDonalds have enough workers as there are not much customers in fastfood chains at this time of the year. It also became a huge blow when my mom decided to separate from my dad, because of several issues. One being that my dad is earning a lot of money but not a cent reaches our pockets. My mom had to borrow a huge amount of money for giving us a new space to live in. I am even an exam student and will be a college student by August next year, so I plan to save as much money as I can. Mind that this all happened at the end of May.

I realized that right now I can't prioritize Goldie because I have to help my family. I keep thinking about what would happen if she suddenly becomes ill again so I had to rehome her. The person who got her was a nice lady. They have severaly cats in their house and it seems like they are living a good life. I hope Goldie enjoys her new home and I want to thank you guys, for helping me get Goldie veterinary care. Though it still makes me cry, I feel very happy that Goldie is now living in with a family that can help her with her needs. Who knows, one day if I become a more financially stable person and if her new owner approves, I can have her in my arms again. Right now, what matters most to me is that Goldie is in a good and stable environment. Thank you very much, I can't fully express my gratitude to everyone who helped my helpess self and the little bundle of joy that Goldie is.

P.s. I don't know why that photo is upside down.
