Hello, I'm Sam. Lily (my seven-year-old cat) and I could really use your help.
Over the past couple days, Lily has lost almost 3 kg even though she still has a healthy appetite. The skin on her ears, nose, and gums also turned completely yellow. I took her to the emergency vet, who told me she's suffering from jaundice. Her bilirubin is also extremely high.
According to the vet, most of the underlying causes for these symptoms are serious and often require surgery. We won't know for sure without further testing - in the meantime, she has to stay at the vet for constant monitoring.
I'm doing everything I can to help Lily, but I'm also a full-time student who can't work due to the nature of my enrollment. My parents are retirees who live on a fixed income and have health issues of their own, so they can't afford to cover the full costs either.
The thought of losing Lily breaks my heart, especially when money is the only thing standing in the way of getting her the care she needs. Any help you can give, even if it's just the price of a cup of coffee, would mean the world to us.
Thank you so much for your kindness,
Sam and Lily
