Yeah, recently one of our cats almost died. It was horrific, and we had to get her a blood transfusion and race against the clock to find the cause and subsequently heal her while we prepped for the possibility of euthanasia. It was around 8k total for everything and in addition we’re still continuing to pay for regular vet visits, blood tests, and medication as she heals. I’m so incredibly grateful that she’ll recover. We’re not completely out of the woods for cancer, but it’s now a very low possibility. Only time will tell. She’s actually one of our fosters, but because she’s sickly, we decided to adopt her into our family so we could care for her. I won’t lie I briefly contemplated the idea of a GoFundMe. But then I felt shameful for the thought, and ultimately I concluded that my pets are not anyone else’s responsibility besides my own, and going into some debt for one of them is well worth still having them here with me. I cannot even imagine having the audacity to ask friends/family/strangers to fund my fucking travels while I rubbed it in their faces all over my socials what a great time I’m having “finding myself” on their dollar. LMAO. Insane
