Buddy is a service kitty for Paul, a disabled person who has not yet had the official disability hearing. Previous update.Full story, long version Buddy's had problems with the litter box, and with serious anxiety/panic attacks lately, and was diagnosed with a UTI.
Good news: People have been super-generous, and that's awesome! Major steps have been made and things are going really well. Buddy is doing better now that he's got anxiety meds, and is learning to get along with the litter box again! He and his sister, Girlie, were both taken to the vet and wormed. Yay! Buddy's UTI appears to be improving, too! LOOK AT WHAT YOU PEOPLE DID! It's awesome!
Meh news: Between the vet visits, tests, worming for two cats, meds, and trying different kinds of litter/boxes to see what makes Buddy feel safe, funds are depleted. Buddy needs a follow-up with the vet to check on the UTI. If his litter issues are to be resolved, they gotta be sure they found the source, which means being sure they got the UTI fixed! That appointment will be $50, plus whatever they'll charge for the tests that need to be done.
How you can help: Reposting this, and linking it around, would be great. Also, donations. Paul's PayPal is p.a.pierce@gmail.com. This is a case where just a little money can make a big difference in the quality of life for a disabled dude and his loyal service kitty.

Edit as necessary! I will try to make a post before I go to sleep, but MY anxiety meds are kicking in hardcore right now, and I'm fading fast. If I don't manage it, I'll get it done ASAP when I get up. Hate to say that, but I'm getting a little spinny, and I know you know the deal.
