Meet Marshmallow Mathers (or Marshie/Mr. Marshie for short). He showed up to our little cat colony a few months ago, scared and hungry. We thought he was just another feral, but we were able to gain his trust and it turns out he's a real lover.
We noticed a few days ago that he had an injury on his left ear. We called the emergency vet, they told us to leave it alone (I'd already tried to clean it, which he was very patient about). Cut to a few days later, and his poor ear is swollen up like a balloon. Called back the emergency vet, they said it sounded like a hematoma. We need to get him to a vet but we're facing a few complications.
One, for those who don't know, my mom and I care for several cats (two owned, two fosters, and a whole slew of ferals/strays). We do so on little income, as we are both disabled and unable to work. We funnel all our spare change into the kitties, but it's hard without help. I had tried contacting a few rescues for help, but none could offer help, and I had to put my search on hold due to health issues. So, money is the biggest barrier.
Two, we do not own a working vehicle. We depend on my brother for rides, but he has a wife and three kids to care for, so he's not always available immediately to assist us.
So, we need your help. I don't have much to offer in return, aside of some of my art (I'll try to post up some rewards as soon as I can). But you would have our eternal gratitude, and the gratitude of the kitties.
The amount is an estimated vet cost. It may be more, in which case I'll adjust it. If it's less and we end up with extra, it will all go back to help our other kitties (we always need food, litter, etc).
My mom and I thank you deeply for any help we receive.
