Reaching Out For Mim
I'm so drained from crying that I can barely see the computer screen. Many of you know that I had to bring Mim to the hospital last week because she got so sick so fast. I was so afraid the vet was going to tell me I have to put her down but instead she said, "I'm going to save your cat." What a relief! They ran a bunch of tests and my suspicions were correct, she has diabetes. The vet said older animals can get diabetes, show no signs of it and die overnight. That's how fast it effects the body. I had her in the hospital for 3 days which cost me so much money but I didn't care, I wanted to save my baby. I basically handed over every cent that I had but they handed me a much healthier cat and I was happy. Well, she's back to where she was before. Last night when I was holding her it was like holding a bath towel, lifeless. I PROMISED I would keep her alive if I could but if she wants to sleep I would help with that too. Thankfully she made it through the night and I brought her back to the vet this morning. Same thing as last time. She needed a lot of insulin. I asked the vet if there's a fighting chance for her to pop back to her old self or if I should put her down and the vet said there is definitely a good chance to keep her alive but there is one problem, I don't have enough money to do it:'( I spent so much money on her hospitalization and medicine last week that I'm almost tapped out. They whittled it down for me the very best they could but it's still more than I have. I had enough to keep her in the hospital today and essentially keep her alive but if I can't come up with the money to finish her treatment and buy her medicine I'm just going to have to put her down which I really don't want to do:'( A friend suggested the other day that I create a donation box for Mim and as much as I tried to avoid it I think it's her only chance. I applied for Care Credit and was denied. I have no credit cards to put it on. It's truly embarrassing asking for help but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to give her the chance she deserves. All of the love and support and prayers we've been receiving means the world to me and thank you all so much! If you could find it in your heart to help a moody, bossy but oh so lovable cat out, we would be forever grateful. Even a $1 donation would be celebrated! The hospital knows how much I want to help Mim but they shaved the cost down as much as they possibly could and now it's up to me to come up with the money. I hate that I even have to ask but I'm not going to let my pride get in the way of saving my baby. Any donations, no matter how small will make all the difference right now. And it doesn't need to be money. Prayers, vibes, mojo, dancing ANYTHING at all to keep Mad Madam Mim healthy and here on this earth will make me the happiest Mommy in the whole wide world. I love you guys. Thank you:'3
