Asking for Help for Our Cat

This is Elena.

(This was taken months ago before she lost her sight).

She is twenty years old. On Sunday two weeks ago, she went blind. The vet wasn’t sure why, but we think it’s due to either a heart problem or hypertension (though this didn’t show on her first visit, it did in her second visit and just today, we got blood work back that shows she also has feline leukemia). She is part of our family. I am trying to raise money to help cover the costs of the ultrasound she had last week (she tore the vet tech up! For a little old lady cat, she is fierce! Omg), and the echocardiogram she’s got to have in two weeks. The first procedure was just over $1800, and I have no idea what the second will be, but I am expecting pretty much the same. We don’t plan surgery – she’s too old to come through it safely—but we do want to know what is wrong, so we can provide palliative care. She isn’t currently in pain that any of us can tell but she’s depressed, and I think scared and it breaks our hearts to see her world having grown so much smaller. She’s very smart, very brave, and has been finding ways to navigate around our house and she’s fiercely independent but it hurts to see her sadness.

So, if anyone would be interested in helping, this is what I am offering: 

• My etsy shop is open again and I have a number of new prayer cards (including a breathtaking card for Khonsu by D. Lopez-Melville).

• I can do a setting of lights for folks (see here). 
• I’m also offering, this weekend only (at least until next mos—I’ve been doing this monthly), one draw divination, no question. I’ll draw using whatever system or systems I choose (usually a combination of runes and at least one other system) and send the results. I charge $15 for this. 
• If you’d like to just donate, my paypal is Krasskova at gmail.com. 

Please email me about any of this is you’re interested in the setting of lights or the prayers. For rune draw and setting of lights, the cut off is 9pm EST Saturday. 

Next month, I’ll be offering the monthly one draw div as well. Setting of lights I offer every week, with the Saturday cut off (I like to prep them Saturday night and light them before midnight).

That is all. 

Cats are very stoic. They can be in pain or injured for a long time before even the most attentive pet guardian realizes it. We have no idea how long Elena was having eye/hypertensive issues but Sunday it came to a head, and we realized she’d gone blind.  I am grateful to Asklepius, Eir, and Bast that she’s not in pain – the vet tech is. *G*. (I like the young woman, she’s very, very good, so I feel bad for her, but I’m also inordinately proud of Elena for being so fierce. There it is.).
