[devilsvine]

okay cool i have your attention

a friend of mine really needs help gathering up the money for vet care for his cat. we’re very worried about both of them, this kitty means the world to him and we’re not sure how long he’ll stick around if something happens to him. (not to mention, kitty doesn’t deserve to die just because capitalism is hell.)

we estimate he’ll probably only have a few days if lucky so this is URGENT. it’s most likely liver failure. please spread this around!!

($475/$2000)

∆ please help us

we can not afford any of our basic needs

i usually try to keep this as light as possible, but i have put this off for long enough that i have to post this. me and my partner desperately need help. we are just two gay people trying to make it alone here with absolutely no support system.

who we are: im j (or jet), im 24 year old trans guy whose had this account since 2014. i married my partner in 2018, we even met on tumblr when we were younger, we've been together for years. my partner is disabled (diagnosed with autism and seizure disorder and others)

what we need: our cat had an emergency surgery two years ago that means he needs to be on a prescription diet (hills urinary food) for his entire life. the vet suddenly said we need to bring him in again to get his prescription renewed and we cant order any more food for him until then, which he will not survive without, and he is not allowed to eat any alternative food without risking his life. we have less than half of a 8 lb bag of it which will not last him through the next month. with the vet, food, and ubers to get to the vet and to the only place they sell the food = 200

to try to summarize our situation, we were kicked out by family and made officially homeless for the first time last year. this is right after we moved across states (wa to az) to support my partners family upon their request, only to be subjected to abuse and kicked out directly due to homophobia in an unfamiliar state after a few months. this left both of us and all of our animals entirely homeless. we luckily have an apartment now but our situation is still not okay. we lost all of our belongings at this time, everything, and have not been able to replace them as we have fixed income. my partner is especially affected by this situation, as it was traumatizing, and they have just had to power through trauma after trauma because of poverty, more than i can say.

i also have severe dental problems that are not covered by medicaid in az and i have no way to afford. this includes wisdom teeth, root canals, and many cavities that will turn into that crazy expensive treatment if i don't fix it. some may remember this (+this). i was only able to have a little bit of work done before we were homeless and one root canal failed. i cant keep ignoring it, because they are worried about two of the cavities becoming root canals, and i want to prevent another infection, but thats at least 250 each.

we are still not going to be able to afford rent in future months because our EBT was delayed last month and i had to spend money we don't have to afford anything, and now we are in serious jeopardy even affording rent, let alone bills. our pets (2 cats 1 small dog) also desperately need vaccinations, which is dangerous to keep going this overdue without with their health problems. our dog has also been limping for the past week and he needs to be seen when that is ever possible.

any donations would go first to the vet appointment and cat food, then the other needs in order of priority. will keep updating this, i know its a lot and i really don't expect anything, i am begging for help with any of this

we are both students, we are trying to work towards stability, while being stuck here. i do everything i can to bring in money to support us on my own. we make 200 less than rent is monthly. i am in school to become a caseworker so i am aware of a lot of resources in my area, and have applied for everything, but we can not do this alone which is why i have to ask for help. i am so sorry for having to do this but i appreciate any support that i do have because of this website. you guys literally save my life. helping out other poor people and getting helped out on here has been the most compassion ive ever been a part of. dollars, even pennies, worth of donations has kept my cat safe, has affected me in real ways. it actually matters to us, no matter the amount.

thank you anyone who reblogs, donates anything, or reaches out.

Our apartment was broken into today while we were at work and one of our cats was injured.

We had enough cash from tips to take him to the emergency vet, but we may need help paying for diagnostic and treatment. We're not sure yet what everything will be as we're still at the vet but please consider donating towards vet costs or sharing as rent will pretty much wipe us out completely.

Y’all know the sick cat scam going around on tumblr? I’ve seen a lot of advice —good advice!— on how to not fall for one of those scams

But

I also know a lot of my mutuals are good people with big hearts who easily feel guilt-tripped into believing someone’s seemingly heart-felt story.

So idk if my two-cents are any help, but as a veterinary receptionist I think I have a solution on how to approach a convincing“Sick Cat” plea:

Offer to make a donation on their behalf directly to the vet clinic!

Idk about every vet clinic around the world, but I know amongst the many clinics I have worked for/with, none of them would EVER turn down an anonymous donation to someone’s account for their sick pet! I take many of those calls. We LOVE them! Any money towards helping a pet get better is welcome money. I’ve taken $5 donations, $50, $1000 —I even dropped in a $20 from our spare change bucket once.

Think about it: the vet clinic doesn’t want this animal to suffer. But they also can’t do a procedure or treatment for free because they have hard working employees to pay, and veterinary care (in the US) is privatized (it’s the sorry reality but until HUMAN health care improves, animal health care just is where it is in this country)

Does the vet clinic care where the money for the procedure is coming from? NO. They don’t care if it’s your grandma’s credit card, $6000 in cash, or a bunch of random people calling to put $10-100 dollars on some random person’s account. Money is money to an office manager, and whatever is there to cover expenses for a sick animal is a weight off EVERYONE’S shoulders. (I may just be a receptionist, but even receptionists hurt when an animal passes away.)

So. If you have someone on your dash or in your inbox asking you to donate money to their Venmo or PayPal for their sick cat/dog/ferret, and you really don’t know if it’s legitimate but don’t want to blow them off in case it is…

Ask them the name of their vet. Look it up on google. And call.

The receptionist will ask for the owner’s last name and the pet’s name. If the “owner” is legitimate, they probably will give you some identifying information for the pet or the account. If they don’t want to (for internet safety) there are ways for the receptionist to narrow it down. I.e. the procedure, age of the animal, when their last appointment was, their doctor. And especially if it’s a pricey procedure that the owner has had difficulty finding funds for, SOMEONE at the clinic will know!! If the person in your inbox is legitimate, then they will probably WELCOME you calling their vet to make a donation!

(Tbh, if people call to donate for an animal, it makes a stronger case for the vet to cut costs on the procedure because it PROVES the owner is making a sincere effort to pay)

DON’T just take the phone number of the vet from the person asking for money without verifying it. The phone number could be theirs or a friend who is just gonna take your card info and run off happily into the sunset with it. Verify (via the internet) that the vet is real. If the info they gave you about their sick pet checks out on the vet’s end as all being true, DING DING DING it’s not a scam!!! Donate away!!!

But if it IS a scam, the scammer will probably try to convince you it’s easier to give money to their Venmo (it’s not), or that their vet doesn’t take donations (they do). If they are avoiding this option, and the other signs of scam hold up, then block them and walk away.

TLDR: if you’re not sure if it’s a “Sick Cat” scam, offer to call their vet and make a donation!

Sachirō Hirugami x Reader ''A Change Is Gonna Come''

College life has been lonely and tiresome ever since you started studying biology and chemistry.

So you do what most lonely girls in college do.

You get a pet.

Specifically a cat.

A cat with half of her right ear missing, along with her left eye. She is your everything, even though she has only been with you for three weeks since you picked her up from the local shelter.

Her raven-black fur looks very slightly brown in the sunlight every time she would lay on the window sill next to the venus flytrap plants.

In the beginning, she would not leave her transport box, hissed and tried to scratch you, whenever you got close to try and pet her.

Now, she is the most cuddly cat.

If you think about it, she has been more affectionate than usual. Rubbing against you, the wall, the chair, your fridge and even the fricking toilet.

She meows loudly in the night, driving you insane.

Now if you never had a cat in heat before, then you don’t know what hell on earth is.

Kaizoku, the name you have given her, is getting on your last nerve.

Thankfully due to your majors, you realized that Kaizoku is in heat. 

Every cat owner’s worst nightmare, besides their pet getting pregnant unplanned.

Thanks to the lucky stars, a small vet clinic is just five blocks down the road, a very young owner who’d just graduated veterinary school.

Making an appointment for a previous check up for a future neutering appointment for Kaizoku, you make your way to the vet next Tuesday morning.

The morning you get up earlier to make it on time for the appointment, it seems like the little devil has vanished into thin air.

Seriously, you can’t find her anywhere!

You checked the shower, under all your furniture and even stepped on your counters to check on top of the cabinets.

It’s getting real close to the appointment time, you have to be there 15 minutes prior to sign in, it’s what the vet clinic requests.

Now you’re getting pissed. 

‘’ZOKU!” You yell out in frustration.

All of sudden, a small light bulb pops up in your head.

You just remembered that the little furball LOVES cheddar cheese.

As you pretend to make a sandwich and take the cheese out of the fridge, you rustle the plastic extra loud on purpose, hoping she will come out.

And just like magic, there she pops up magically on the counter, looking at the food in your hand.

Giving her a small piece, you cautiously walk backwards to grab the carrier box for her.

Still with her chewing, you feel the side handle of it, crouching down to grab it and hide it behind your back.

Sneaking up from behind, you gently grab her and she tries to run away.

Grabbing her front legs with one hand and her back legs with the other, Kaizoku begins biting your fingers, making you almost yell out in pain but quickly shoving her naughty ass into the box, quickly closing it so she can’t escape.

Huffing out a big breath, you look at the clock on the wall and you’re about to faint when you realize, it’s in less than 10 minutes.

Grabbing the transport box, you basically sprint down the stairs in your apartment building, almost giving Kaizoku a heart attack. 

Quickly getting into your small car, you try to minimize your lateness with going a little bit over the speed limit.

Finally arriving in the parking lot in front of the vet clinic, you get out and see that your cat’s eyes are insanely enlarged, hissing when you check on her.

‘’Alright, let’s do this.”

When you walk through the door, the bell above the door chimes with a cute tingle noise.

As you look around, only three people are sitting in the waiting area on the sides, with the front desk in the middle, where a blonde woman in cat scrubs is typing something on a computer.

You clear your throat and she greets you with a sunny smile.

Signing in on the clipboard on the counter, you sit on the left while the other two people across from you have a dog each on a colorful leash.

One dog is a big German shepherd that has a cone on its head with one leg wrapped in a cast.

The other dog is a lot smaller and he keeps growling at the other dog.

Kaizoku begins meowing in distress, you try to calm her down by gently talking to her.

Thankfully one of the employees calls you in immediately, telling you to follow her.

Getting up from the chair, you follow her and thank her for holding the door open for you.

Walking along the hallway you see multiple doors on the left and right side.

She stops on one of the right doors, pushing it open to let you in and tells you that the vet will be right in.

You look around in the examination room, seeing two anatomy posters of a cat and a dog on one side of the wall, with a small computer and a desk on the other side of the room.

Below the posters is a long metal table and you put the carrier box down and check on Kaizoku again.

She has her backside facing you, as if she is trying to show you the middle finger to taking her here.

Scanning some of the bones and muscles of the cat, a firm knock interrupts your reading. 

A tall man with light brown hair walks in, some of his wavy hair rests on his forehead, the same color in his eyes.

He has a strong build, his light blue scrubs hugging his figure perfectly.

When he looks from his clipboard to you, he greets you with a billion dollar smile, introducing himself.

„Hi, I am Dr. Sachirō Hirugami. What can I do for you today?“ He rubs his hands from the disinfectant on the wall, taking a small peek inside the carrier box.

Calming yourself a little bit, you explain your problem to him.

„Well this is Kaizoku. I got her from the local shelter. She was a rescue from a former abusive pet owner. I have had her for almost a month now and I think the shelter forgot to mention that she is not neutered. She meows over day, at night and it’s slowly driving me mad.“ 

He laughs a bit at your explanation and my gosh his laugh is a voice sent straight from heaven.

It’s soft and honest and you can’t help but blush at his reaction.

„Sounds to me like Mrs. Kaizoku is in heat. And I am guessing you want to spay her?“ He smiles knowingly.

Nodding to confirm, you hope it’s not going to cost too much….

Hirugami opens the cage door and you hear a loud hissing noise.

Your heart begins to drop, you start to sweat a bit from your anxiety about what Kaizoku will do.

All you see is a black little arm trying to scratch Hirugami‘s hand.

Quickly retracting his hand, he begins to laugh at her antics.

„I am SO sorry about her behavior! I hope she didn’t get you.“ You frantically begin to apologize for your cat‘s crude behavior.

He friendly waves you off, saying it’s his job to deal with animals and he loves treating them.

Taking off the top of the box, you see Kaizoku huddled in the corner of the transport box, ears completely flat and you hear a faint growl coming from her.

Hirugami thinks for a few seconds before reaching into one of the drawers behind him, pulling out a little thin tube that looks like paste that cats can lick from, like a treat basically.

So he’s trying to bribe her and gain her trust, that’s a good approach. 

Opening up the little tube, he squishes out a bit and carefully holds it out for her to sniff.

Kaizoku very cautiously moves forward, sniffing it with big round eyes, very soon starting to lick it a few times before deciding to like it.

Like A LOT. 

You see her pupils getting a bit smaller, her small body visibly relaxing and you can feel yourself relaxing as well.

Gently giving her head scratches with his other big hand, he gives her a soft smile and quietly says „See? I am not so bad.“ 

His actions towards your cat makes your heart warm and your head fuzzy.

I mean, your vet IS hot, no one is going to deny that.

Making sure he did earn her trust, he gently takes her out of the transportation box, petting her along her chin.

The next thing you hear is deep purring and you can’t believe your ears or your eyes.

Inwardly scoffing at her all-of-sudden friendly behavior she looks highly in bliss and you can’t believe that you’re getting jealous of a fricking cat.

Untangling his stethoscope from his neck, he listens to her heartbeat, her bowel movement, her lungs and checks for any abnormalities around her body.

You’re a little worried when he looks into her eye and wants to see her mouth that she will try to scratch or bite him, nothing happens.

It’s like she is under a calming spell, not aggressive at all towards the vet. 

Still in disbelief, he puts his stethoscope back around his neck and gives you a charming smile while picking Kaizoku up and petting her as he holds her close to his chest.

“Alright, what’s your magic trick?” You ask in suspicion as you watch Hirugami with squinted eyes.

He laughs and your suspiciousness, setting the black feline back into its kennel. 

Walking over to the disinfectant bottle holder, Hirugami disinfects his hands and leans against the counter to talk to you.

“So from what I have observed so far, Kaizoku is a very healthy cat. You still want to spay her? Is that your final decision?”

You nod in confirmation.

Nodding his head he takes his clipboard from the wall and tells you to make a new appointment with the front desk, giving you a small wink before he leaves the examination room.

Blushing a bit, you close up the kennel door and take Kaizoku with you again to the front desk. 

The same lady from earlier gives you a bright smile, along with a folded note attached to the apartment card for the next check up.

“What’s this?” You ask while pointing to the folded note.

The lady looks up from her computer, shrugging and continuing to type down.

“Dr. Hirugami told me to attach that note to your appointment card.”

“Oh uhm, okay. Thank you, have a good day.” You say as you exit the veterinarian clinic with Kaizoku. 

Putting her in the passenger seat and strapping the kennel, you make your way around the car to get in the driver’s side.

As you take the note to unfold it, you read over it with wide eyes and a blush.

“I can’t wait to see you again, I know I meant to check out Kaizoku but your irresistible looks have bewitched my heart. Until next time, kitten.”

Hemophiliac Dog in Need of Donations

Hi all,

Any of you who know me in real life know that animals are a huge part of my world, and I tend to take on the ones who need a little extra TLC.

A little over a year ago, I posted on here asking for some assistance with an emergency situation with one of my dogs, Rufio, who ended up getting a diagnosis of EPI. I’m happy to report that we now have his situation under control and he is doing so much better!

Unfortunately, we have had another emergency come up with Patrick, my hemophiliac dog.

This was Patrick as a baby. Animal control brought him in after finding him wandering on the streets with a large lump the size of a potato on his back between the shoulder blades. When I was fostering him, the vets initially thought it might be a tumor or something and sought to operate. It turned out to just be a giant hematoma (basically a bruise) instead and he nearly bled out from the surgery. It took three blood transfusions to get him stable. Hemophilia, however, isn’t super common in dogs so that’s not immediately where their minds went.

Fast forward a few months to when the rescue did his neuter…and he almost bled out AGAIN. Neuters are usually quick and simple and heal up easily. He bled for three days. I had pee pads soaked through with blood. Parts of my house looked like a murder scene. This was even AFTER the vets had tried cauterizing and stapling the area. It just WOULD NOT stop bleeding. His entire underside turned BLACK from all the bruising. (The pic below is from a later bruise but you can get the idea.)

Patrick has been fortunate in that since we adopted him, most of his issues have been manageable at our local vet up until this point. A few days ago, however, my hyper, lovable goofball who usually will dash for a piece of food the second it hits the floor decided that he did not feel like getting up for breakfast.

He went from “I am going to drag mom after this squirrel across the yard” to “I don’t want to even get up to pee unless I REALLY have to.” And then he stopped showing interest in CHICKEN. And even though there weren’t any outward signs of a bleed, I knew something was VERY wrong. We rushed him to the emergency vet yesterday where they did a bunch of imaging (x-rays, ultrasounds, and a CT) to determine the possible cause of the bleed in his abdomen and gave him some much-needed blood transfusions and cryoprecipitate.

He’s on the mend and will hopefully be coming home soon…but the total cost for this is going to be somewhere between $6,000 and $10,000. Fortunately, the rescue we worked with when fostering him—Too Broke Girls Dog Rescue basked out of upstate South Carolina—has been willing to help fundraise. If you can help donate ANYTHING we would be incredibly grateful. You can donate directly to the rescue’s PayPal ([email protected]) or Venmo (@toobrokegirls) and specify that it’s for Patrick. You can also go to their Facebook page and use the donate button on a post they shared about him.

Hi everyone, I'm gonna pass this around on MadCatster's behalf - he's an actual lawyer on Youtube who dissects legal disputes in the social media sphere, with the help of his cat cohosts and amazing shirts (check him out here).

His deaf cat Stefan has been ill for a little while retaining fluid in his abdomen and when it was finally drained enough to get a good look, the vet found a golf ball sized lump. MC is now looking to just make Stefan comfortable until it's his time.

If anyone can spare it, here's the link to the fundraiser for his ongoing care 💙

Hey guys. I know I don't come on here often, but I need some help. My childhood dog is in need of an emergency surgery, without it I'm going to lose her. She means the absolute world to me and both my siblings. I created a gofundme for her vet bills. If you can give anything to help my pup out, I'd really appreciate it.

[is-the-rat-vid-cute]

My sister and I had Roborovskis (hamsters, not rats) but we loved them dearly despite their 3 year little lives. One of them lived up to the age of 4!

Our Percy lost his little foot in an accident. When we took him to the vet, he cupped him in his hands and said he was so incredibly happy to see a hamster in his clinic, as most people care very little about short-lived small animals.

It was heartbreaking to hear. We didn't hesitate to bring him to the vet, because despite living short lives, they deserve to live happily and healthily. Not be ignored because they aren't as impressive as dogs or cats, or even guinea pigs!

I absolutely agree. It’s heartbreaking how many people neglect to provide veterinary care to small rodents especially just because they don’t live super long. The low price point of rodents at pet stores definitely contributes — I’ve heard “you can just buy another rat for $3, why are you spending $300 on vet care” so many times, especially from parents when talking about their child’s pet. Taking on any animal is a responsibility, and that requires being prepared for whatever vet bills might arise.

Honestly I feel like because they live such short lives, that’s even more reason to push so hard for them to be treated properly. Of course all animals deserve to be happy and healthy, but because rats often live only 2-3 years, it’s often fairly doable to save up a vet fund before buying rats because it’s generally pretty predictable what issues they’ll have. A few hundred dollars per rat is generally enough to get through their entire lives with whatever vet care is needed.

PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY DOG!!

I’m going to do something I’ve never done before on Tumblr and ask for some financial assistance because my baby boy needs help, and it’s not going to be cheap.

A bit of background… Seven years ago, I started working at a local rescue called Concerned Citizens for Animals. About a year after I started working there, we got in a litter of feral puppies. They were only about eight weeks old, but they had had practically no human contact up to that point and were absolutely terrified. They’d hide under things and growl or try to bite at you when you went to pick them up. The worst was a little red pup with a glassy looking eye (thought he might be blind in it—it later improved as he got healthier, but his vision in it still likely isn’t great).

I think because he couldn’t see well, he was even more afraid of the world than his siblings. The first time I picked him up, he SCREAMED bloody murder, bit me on the arm, and pooped himself because he was so scared. It took a long time of sitting quietly with him, tossing treats in his direction, and showing him my touch wasn’t going to hurt, but once we became friends, there was no turning back. He chose me, and I chose him. I named him Rufio after the leader of the Lost Boys in one of my favorite films, Hook, because like the character, he was a feisty little Lost Boy who put up a tough guy front but really just wanted a family of his own.

This boy became his mama’s absolute best friend in the whole world. He saw me through my first (emotionally abusive) marriage and subsequent divorce and even made an appearance as “Best Dog” in my second wedding.

Now, he’s six years old, and we’ve run into some health issues I never expected to see in him at such a young age.

Over the last month and a half, Rufio has been struggling with GI issues and gone from a healthy slim but muscular 42 lbs to under 35 lbs despite eating well. After trying just about everything imaginable (probiotics, Propectalin, metronidazole, panacur, special diets, etc.) without much success, the vet I now work for decided we needed to see a specialist, and they are starting to suspect GI lymphoma. They are likely going to need to do an endoscope biopsy and possibly also a CT scan. They have given us an estimate with the high end around $7000, and that’s not including any treatment if it does turn out to be cancer. If anyone is able to help, I would really appreciate it. I understand how easily people can make up scams, so rather than asking for money myself, donations can be made directly to Fetch Vet in Greenville, SC, under the pet name “Rufio Frantz.” Vet phone number is 864-900-5888.

Please help me figure out what’s going on and save my baby boy.

EDIT/UPDATE:

Final bill ended up being around $4500. I have already had to put it on the credit card, so you cannot send anything directly to the vet, unfortunately. My PayPal is [email protected]. Here is a copy of the bill for proof.

So far, I have about $525 in donations out of the $4500. The good news is that we now have results back and THANK GOD, it’s NOT cancer!! Unfortunately, that means it’s probably IBD, which means a little more trial and error with getting the exact treatment right, but it’s something he can live with and we shouldn’t need to do any more major tests anytime soon.
