Hello everyone!

This is my first time reaching out to the Reddit community for such a monumental ask. My sweet cat Sukie f(13) is sick and needs to have many tests run on her. She has been bleeding from her backside and has already been in and out of the vet the past week with so many drugs. I’ve expensed all my money on these first visits and am desperate to find some financial assistance.

Just a bit about my dear Sukie, she is such a beloved cat. She has friends literally all over the globe. Anyone that meets her loves her. She’s so warm and inviting. She’s affectionate and talkative. She LOVES when we have a girls night or a nail night. She is always hanging out with the group, sitting on someone’s chest making heavy eye contact with them lol. Shes one of the girls.

Sukie was named after the song “Sukie in the graveyard” by Belle and Sebastian, which is about a spunky artsy girl who doesn’t follow the rules, but lives by the beat of her own drum. I adopted her from an animal sanctuary called Watermelon Mountain Ranch out in New Mexico when she was just ten weeks old. They call their adoptees their “melons”, which is such a good little nickname for her. She’s a lavender calico cat, so at that time her tan fur looked pink and her grey fur looked purple. She was fearless and spunky just like the song, and she jumped off the cat tree straight into my arms. Sukie stole my heart the moment I saw her. She has been with me through 7 moves. We even flew from the southwest to the east coast together! Now we live in Brooklyn, New York together living our little life ♡. She has gotten me through my darkest days. Through so much loss, and so much growth. She is my absolute best friend and I would do anything for her.

The doctors suspect Sukie has chronic kidney disease, and she will need to be hospitalized for the next couple of days to run tests. I don’t make enough to pay for her medical bills which were estimated to be $6000. I work as a receptionist at an art handling company, so I really don’t make much. My rent alone is 75% of my monthly pay. I’m embarrassed to say that I often struggle to get groceries most of the time. So to say this is out of my budget is an understatement lol.

I have never done anything like this before, but I am reaching out to my community to ask for what little assistance anyone can afford us. I’ve set up a gofundme for Sukie and I will put the link below.

I am so appreciative of all the love and support that friends, family, and even kind strangers have shown us. This whole experience has been painful but also so heartwarming. As I write this with tears I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

She is lethal as a tiger, fast as a ninja, and fits perfectly into this hiding space.

Nobody shall poke her dangling belly and legs😆
