Jolene's Emergency Vet Visit

Description posted from GoFundMe Campaign:

So for those of you who gave followed me (and maybe seen the update) you'll know Salem has been missing for almost 6 months.

She was my ESA, and given my declining mental health, I didn't have much choice but to get a new ESA.

Enter miss Jolene Macchiato L. Whom I adopted almost two months ago and have whole heartedly decided to keep after realizing just how well we mesh.

You may also know I've been in the hospital the last few days - staying with my roommate who was admitted. I've been coming home to feed the cats and (unsuccessfully) treat them for ear mites. My new roommate was dog sitting and he brought fleas and ear mites into our home.

During this time, Jolene went to the bathroom on my bed multiple times. I at first chalked it up to stress and was told to keep an eye on here. Less than a day of being back from the hospital and her stool is light in color, runny, and most terrifyingly, has blood in it.

This is no longer an issue of stress, but could be a major intestinal/stomach problem when mixed with her inability to wait and use her litterbox. On top of that, she was running around like she was in pain, or something was wrong prior to going.

My second job is not a sure thing yet - it has been more than two weeks since the company reached out to me - and I have been looking for more. The money I thought I won was more a scam to get me down to the car dealership (which by the way, I hated as is because of the older man behaving increasingly grossly and inappropriate towards me).

My funding for Salem has stopped at this point - I have done every physical thing I can to find and bring her home. And now I need to focus on the new feline in my care.

I am taking Jolene to the vet tomorrow and using my new credit card - but there are limited funds and paying it back is my current concern when I have payments taking up to the 1,000s combined due these next two months.

I am setting it to $550 for now (because they take a portion), but the price my change depending on what the vet says and what is wrong.

I know she still need to get treated for ear mites ($300 on it's own) because the current medications I've been using are not working."

This is my fundraiser.

Additional pictures of her adoption papers added on here as well proving when I got her. JOLENE IS A REGISTERED ESA NOW.

Jolene as far as I have been told is two years old, though she is very small for her age. She is a sweet heart though she was likely on the streets for a most of not all her life before she was taken to the shelter and I adopted her a month later.

She is a sweet cat that just wants to check and make sure that you're okay. She'll cuddle. She doesn't meow but she does trill and sound like yoshi.

She just wants to make friends with everyone. And if you're not petting her enough then the grabs your hand and brings it right to her face as she stands on her back legs.

This is the last fundraiser I'm making. Ask anyone I know in real life and they'll tell you just how much I despise asking for help. I want to be able to do things on my own. But until I get one bite from the hundreds (literally) of jobs I've applied to as a secondary then I'm at a loss. I can't afford to wait and save up for this vet Visit - not when her health is on the line.

I can post a picture of her at the vets office tomorrow as well to confirm, along with the update of what they set.

GoFundMe

PayPal

Venmo

Currently $750/$750

UPDATE - 08.02.2023

UNDER THE CUT

We went to the vet today.

TL:DR - she is on medications for the next two weeks, roughly. She did very good at the vet and was very brave. $500 was close, it will come out to be roughly $700 all together after ear mite treatment; we are holding off for now until the other cat in the house can be treated or they will just jump between them, which gives some more time to get there funds. But the over the counter medications are not strong enough to fight the infestation, and depending on severity, it could lead to long term health problems.

So I changed it from $550 -> $750 (again, because they take a processing fee). I also added in there roughly $200 that had been sent from PayPal and Venmo to give a more accurate show off current raised funds.

Below are screenshots of the update explaining more, along with pictures of Jolene at the vet today.

(Straight up, I almost cried because in the right two months that I have had her this was the first time she had crawled into my lap to lay down and cuddle with me.)

There's nothing quite like getting a call from the vet you've been struggling to get a hold of for months, finally reaching out to you... a week after your cat has passed away.

#Red Rambles #Vent post #Hey thanks for the call it only took you ages not answering my calls and attempts to schedule appointments to finally get in touch with me #For context this is just in regards to routine check-ups and vaccinations #Doomfanger wasn't showing any signs of sickness or concerns that required a vet visit. I would have gone to an emergency clinic if so #I just woke up to find he had quietly passed away in the night laying beside me in bed #Excuse me I'm just really salty and angry and still hurting

A Dramatic Retelling of the Conversation with the Emergency Vet’s Receptionist:

Her, gesturing between me and my friend as we are looking at their k-cup flavors: “So, are you two best friends?”

Me: “Oh, yeah”

Her, happy and bubbly: “Oh, that’s so great! Please stay best friends. Forever”

Me: “Well, we already have 13 years under our belt, so I think we’re solid”

Her, shocked: “Oh my god, you guys have been friends since elementary school?”

Me: “No, no, we met freshman year of high school”

Her:

Her:

Her, with dawning horror at her own assumption: “Wait, you guys are adults?”

Me, staring down at my comfy CR pajama bottoms and UGG slippers since I did it have time to change before we rushed out: “Yes! We are 26! Thank you! Bye!”

#TO BE FAIR we came with my mom #so we were giving teenage daughters #BUT STILL AKDHJALSMSMSL #SHE THOUGHT WE WERE LIKE SIXTEEN IT WAS SO FUNNY #honestly terrible to visit the emergency vet but SUCH a funny thing to end on

At least it can't get any worse!

Updates on Mom and Chloe

Long story short, Mom is home and Chloe has to have surgery on Thursday.

Mom

Mom came home last Thursday. It took an hour and a half each way for me, to Philadelphia and back home. It was a rough drive, rush hour on the way there, and the tail end of rush hour on the way back, in the rain at night. She's doing well, getting home nursing and physical therapy.

Chloe

Saturday evening I discovered a large mass/sore on the inside of Chloe's hind right leg. I immediately scooped her up and took her to the emergency vet. They shaved the area to get a better look. The mass/sore was 4cm and ulcerated, but not infected. They were unable to tell me what it was based on the exam. There was nothing to be done that night, so they sent us home. Yesterday morning I called and rescheduled Chloe's appointment to yesterday afternoon. The mass measured 3cm. I'm also terrified because she's had some weight loss. She's still eating and drinking and acting pretty normally, except for hiding a bit more than usual. Surgery for removal is scheduled for Thursday, and it will be sent for pathology. I feel terribly guilty that I hadn't found this mass earlier, it was so large. But no one had seen it, as she has been getting weekly temperature checks and quick exams for the last two months. The vet tried to reassure me and tell me it's amazing I found it at all because animals are so good at hiding things. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm so scared. I know she needs the surgery, but I feel terrible for having to put her through that, knowing she'll be so scared and confused and in pain post-op. But it will help her because now that I know about the mass, I can tell she's having discomfort from it, and the removal will alleviate that.

Just please send prayers and good vibes to both my mom and my Chloe. And if you're so inclined, you can donate to or share my gofundme from last year. It is still active, and I plan on updating it soon regarding the upcoming surgery.

Things have just been crazy here, and I haven’t been on tumblr for almost a week. I’m hanging in there, though, and my anxiety is high but manageable.

some of you may remember my cat from when she was sick years ago and Tumblr helped her pull through! I come to you now to humbly request Good Vibes for her, because she's old and not doin' too well with the kinds of problems money can't fix. please gaze upon her visage and get the same serotonin I do:

#guerrilla catblogging #I love this dumb baby so much #she has stopped eating as much for unknown at this point reasons #continuing her streak of emergency vet visits on public holidays c': #so: good vibes appreciated while I'm trying to get her to eat again

I'm on vacation visiting my dad and my bf just sent me a video where my dog isn't walking. He keeps completely dragging his back legs before giving up and lying back down. He's an old dog and I'm 5hrs away with our only car and I keep crying and I don't know what to do and I hate this so much and I'm scared and sad.

#he's also really wishy washy in situations like this and it's not helping #i told him i was just going to leave tomorrow and come home a day early and he's like no wait to hear what the vet says #well it will probably require a vet visit and i really don't want to take him to the shitty emergency vet again because they suck ass #but our vet isn't open on weekends and they close at like 6pm so #i hate this #so much #flapping my wings

casting a healing spell on everyone’s dog

#two friends had emergency vet visits this week. ENOUGH!

[traumadumpling]

Today has been a dAY

I need to be up early in the morning so of course my mind doesn't wanna shut off

#emergency vet visits at work #my check engine light is on again and i hate it #i huRT #my disability is yet again disabling me #i need to be sleepy tired but i feel wide awake

[gynandromorph]

It was almost a thousand dollars ($850) to have this dog euthanized at home instead of taking her to the vet and I'm really, really, really glad I had friends who were willing to help me pay for it. But if you want a reference for how much that will cost you, well, there you go

#i had just accumulated 3 bills from separate emergency vet visits #pet death

[gammaraydeath]

I WILL draw. eventually

#adjusting to new schedule + being sleep deprived as a result + emergency vet visits = no energy for anything #i have smth i really wanna work on tho may this week be better 🙏
