Hi everyone,

My name is Brigitte. Myself and my partner, Rich, are the cat parents of two wonderful little fur babies: Sunny and Luna. I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my little Sunny.

Sunny is just 4 years old and is the sweetest, most gentle cat. Recently, he wasn’t acting like himself, became increasingly sick, and stopped eating—we rushed him to the veterinarian immediately.

After X-rays and an emergency assessment, the vets discovered that Sunny had swallowed a long piece of tinsel that had become lodged in his intestines. This type of obstruction is life-threatening and required immediate emergency surgery to prevent severe damage or rupture of his intestines.

The surgery was performed, and thankfully the veterinary team was able to remove the obstruction. Sunny is currently recovering in the hospital, receiving pain medication, fluids, and ongoing care while the team monitors his recovery.

The total cost of his emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, diagnostics, and medications is estimated to have come to a total of $10,000 CAD.

This cost was partially covered with a loan that totalled to $7,800.00*. $6,300 from a pet loan approved through a friend, $1,000 from my mother's credit card, and $500 borrowed from friends. We greatly appreciate this loan, though the full cost does still need to be covered and we appreciate any donation amount to help.

Your donation will go directly toward:

- Pain medication

- Drip feeding

- Emergency surgery - Overnight Vet stay

- IV fluids

- Anti-anxiety medication

- X-ray

- Ultrasound

- Previously acquired loan*

While we would do anything to save Sunny, the financial burden is overwhelming, and we have still not covered all the costs. If you are able to contribute, no matter how small the amount, it would help us tremendously as we work to cover the costs of his emergency surgery and recovery. Even if you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read Sunny's story and for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers.

With gratitude,

Brigitte, Rich, Sunny & Luna
