Emergency Veterinary Care for Jasper & Tigger
My name is Ali, and I'm reaching out for help with urgent veterinary care for my beloved cats, Jasper and Tigger. After escaping an abusive situation last year, I'm fighting to ensure both cats receive the critical medical care they desperately need.
Our Story
Ten years ago, Jasper chose me as his person when he was 8 years old. Now 18, he's not only battling end-stage renal failure but also dealing with severe arthritis. In the past four months, his condition has deteriorated significantly – he's lost substantial muscle mass in his hind legs, severely affecting his mobility. After a brave six-year battle with renal failure, he needs at-home euthanasia to pass peacefully and with dignity.
Meanwhile, Tigger, my sweet 9-year-old boy, is showing concerning symptoms that require immediate medical attention. He's experiencing inflammation in his leg joints, particularly between his knee and ankle joints, along with unusual warmth in his abdomen and throat area. While he's still eating and drinking, his behavior has changed notably – showing signs of increased anxiety and unusual aggression. These symptoms have worsened over recent months and need proper diagnosis and treatment.
Despite having pet insurance for Tigger, the policy requires upfront payment before reimbursement—something I simply cannot manage right now. While rebuilding my life on Alberta Works income support, I've discovered that these benefits don't qualify for low-income veterinary assistance programs, leaving me with no other options.
What Is Needed
Our immediate medical needs total approximately $1,700; However, the most urgent/pressing is giving Jasper his compassionate passing:
- At-home euthanasia and cremation for Jasper ($600-700)
- Comprehensive veterinary care for Tigger, including diagnostics ($800+)
- Essential medications and follow-up care ($200+)
Every dollar raised will go directly to veterinary care. Any funds beyond our immediate needs will be reserved for Tigger's future medical expenses. My ex (who currently has Tigger in his care) has made claims that he will bring Tigger into the vet and cover costs, however I've included the estimated amount in the event he changes his mind again.
