I hate and loathe myself because of asking for help again (and by the way, thanks a lot to the person who helped me), but something quite unexpected happened to me and I don’t have the financial resources at the moment, so I’m back here… I didn’t want to ask for help back here, I’ve never really asked for help online in this way, so I thought about going to other Lemmy communities but I can’t find any, and on Reddit (which I personally don’t use) most communities just for the privilege (according to them) of posting I need to have accumulated karma in their specific sub and up to 60 days of activity, so honestly, fuck Reddit.

My cat who is only 3 years old yesterday in the afternoon he didn’t want to eat much, he’s not apathetic and looks fine but that’s not really normal for him. Then today in the morning I served him some tuna and he ate but really little, and to my surprise when I went to clean his litter box I find that he had bloody diarrhea… It has been about 10 hours since I saw his bloody diarrhea and although I offer him more food he is not really interested, there is something in him that attracts him to food but then he smells it and does not eat, I have tried with different cat foods and none of them attract him, and no, the tuna does not attract him now either. Besides, I saw him vomit several times and he basically threw up the little he ate.

According to what I read, it could be intestinal parasites and I think it is possible, although I think the last time I dewormed him was only 3 months ago at the most.

A consultation at the vet in my country costs around $30, only the consultation and follow up, I have no idea how much it might cost an exam in case he needs one, and then the medicines… My idea was to open a GoFundMe but it is not available in my country, and I thought about opening one with a VPN but most likely it will ask me for bank details from the country where I am supposed to be, so really my only option is Paypal. I could also create a Venmo account, but I don’t know if it makes any difference for this purpose.

Edit: For privacy reasons, I delete some context.

Thank you if you got this far reading, anyone who can donate me any amount no matter how small would be greatly appreciated, my Paypal is cathex@tutanota.com!

Edit: OMG thank you so much to the person who donated me! I appreciate it very much and so does my cat!

SEND SANDINBAND DONATION RECEIPTS.

RULES:

    1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.

    1. Moderator Pinning Rules:

    a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

    b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

    c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.
