#CharleneTheCat, up from a nap, hungry. Her gaze is more of a commandment than a plea. I complied. ❤️

What's going on with #CharleneTheCat?

Charlene has been not herself and just nibbled on food for a couple days—something's wrong. This Spring, she had a GI infection that began with the same symptoms.

This morning, I took her to the vet, but they wouldn't diagnose or treat her without a large down-payment on the estimated bill.

A very kind FediFriend donated the down payment, and Charlene will go to the vet in the morning.

Vet's total estimate for diagnosis and treatment is between $485 (covered by a FediFriend's donation) and $920.

If you can and would like to donate to Charlene's care, please see the Ko-fi link on my profile. Those funds go directly to my Paypal account, and any donations over the actual cost will refunded.

Please DM if you'd like to see a copy of the vet's estimate.

Thanks, y'all. 💜

#CharleneTheCat is very sick and needs to see the vet ASAP!

Symptoms are the same as last time (parasites), and it's clear her last treatment cycle of drugs didn't get rid of them.

Charlene can only see the vet with your help, please.

The bill (based on her previous visit) will cost between $700-$1200. I know it's a lot, and I don't like asking, but when your baby is sick, you do what you have to.

Donations of any size are appreciated! Boosts, too.

If you can, please donate via my Ko-fi account or DM for other payment methods.

Thank you. ❤️

#CharleneTheCat's vet called this morning to check on "sweet Charlene."

I was thrilled to report that she's eating a lot, drinking water and seems great to me.

They reminded me that outside lab results would be in within a couple days, and additional meds may be necessary.

Charlene has been especially affectionate and stayed close since she came home. I'll administer her first meds this morning, and am preparing for an adversarial relationship until the course is complete, a week. ❤️

RIP #CharleneTheCat

I held Charlene in my arms, talking to her and giving scritches this morning as she passed in the vet's office. After 6 months of struggling with probable cancer, and a very rough week, she's now at peace. We both are. 💜

Snapped her final picture in the vet's office.
