Cat of a young a friend of mine needs help
8When Michelle was growing up she fed my cats when I was out of town. Cats are her world and she had a tendency to befriend the least lovable cats out there. Her 4 year old cat continues to be sick and running a fever, without a diagnosis. While technically not an emotional support cat, this cat is her world (Michelle has some significant personal, ongoing health issues that are expensive and at times she has been eligible for food stamps - she works when she can; emotionally she relies on her cat). Her parents are retired, without a lot of money, and while they have helped her to the extent they can, she is struggling to pay the vet bills. (More information on the gofundme site).
If anyone feels so moved to help her or spread the word, here is the gofundme she created to help her cat:

The gofundme page gives the direct contact information for the vet’s office. Thanks.

Sent a tenner. Wish I could do more.
@Pony Thanks. I know every little bit helps and eventually adds up - witness the thread on getting the doggie graduation gown.
I’m guessing the last 5 or 6 donations (out of the 12 she currently has) were made by folks here. Thanks so much.
Got a cat update just now. She is still sick. Still no diagnosis.
Another update - Michelle had to take her cat to the vet emergency clinic (vet school clinic) as she could barely walk and her temperature was higher. They managed to bring her temperature down a bit. The emergency vet gave them a referral to a cat neurologist. That apt is on the 22nd. She is being checked for toxoplasmosis. Although she had been an indoor cat since Michelle got her, since she was a shelter cat her history of exposure for that is not known.
Michelle works as a teacher’s aid, school is ending soon and so will her paycheck for the summer. Thanks folks for helping Michelle and her cat.
There have been some more donations, I presume from here or where ever people have forwarded this. Thanks so much. She only has $300 to go to reach her goal. I just emailed her for an update which I will post when I get it.
