I'm doing this fundraiser to help cover vet costs and medications for my 11 year old cat Lestat. I have had Lestat since he was 3 years old, when I rescued him from a local shelter. Just recently he has begun to lose weight. He just has not been acting like himself. I was able to take him into a local vet today and the think that he either has diabetes, thyroid issues, and/or kidney issues. To find out what is going on with him for sure they need to run a comprehensive blood panel and do a urinalysis. The blood panel alone is $150, then any other testing and medications that are needed. I am currently unable to work at the moment due to some health issues of my own. I do some photography and jewelry making, but just starting out with that, and not being able to do this full time and promote a business due to my health, I just have nothing right now. Lestat means the world to me and I am really at the end of my rope on things that I can do. Please if you are able to help out any lit bit, it would be greatly appreciated. He is such a loving boy and I don't want to see him suffer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my fundraising page. Any and all money raised will go to covering his expenses and taking care of his well being.
