10 years ago I got a weird rash. Now I'm kind of dying from Lyme Disease, Baronella, and Babesia, as well as possible other cooccuring infections. Normally I'd just go to the doctor and take some antibiotics, but Lyme disease that's been untreated for almost 10 years requires a Lyme specialist, and Lyme specialists don't often take insurance.

I absolutely need treatment, as this disease is affecting my heart, my nerves, and my mental function. If left untreated, it could develop into schizophrenia, dementia, a stroke, or heart attack.

Please help me share this fundraiser and raise enough money to get the treatment I need. Lyme disease can be fatal if left untreated, and even if it isn't, the quality of life is close to that of someone with heart failure- which isn't good. Share this fundraiser, donate, send the link to your mom, your aunt, your uncle, your grandparents, and your nice neighbors. 🙏🙏🙏 Any kind words or prayers and spells are appreciated. Thank you so much!

Just something I really want to share on here because it’s important.

“There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with dicks out there, you’ve just got to find them,” Cyrus said, while Simpson laughed along. “You’ve got to find a dick that’s not a dick, you know? I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have dicks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live.”

*deep sigh*

This is lesbophobic, biphobic, and transphobic and if you don't know why, please educate yourself.

Costs so far, will be getting her catfood and extra litter in a few as well :) we’ve reached the target and then some, thank you so much to everyone who helped! We keep a roof over our head and more importantly keep Bean safe and warm!

Sooo...

Long time no see, and now I’m asking for money ^^;

Gentlepeoples, I introduce to you: Bean.

“But Chris!” You cry, “You only have two cats! Who is this?”

Okay so, story time: My partner and I, @puppehgal​, were walking home along a very busy road and we came across a very small Bean being very friendly with a guy. At first, we thought said guy was her owner, but apparently not as he gently pushed her away and crossed the road. When it became obvious Bean was about to follow him right into roaring traffic we got her attention and she switched onto us. Now, Bean was being incredibly friendly, much more so than normal wandering cat and we hadn’t ever seen her in the neighbourhood - we literally lived a few doors away from this. She was also very soft but very underweight, and had what looked like sores under her arms and on her belly. Still, possibly just a stray, right?

Except she had absolutely no fear of traffic and people. Twice she nearly wandered into the road as she followed us, and was far, far too friendly to be a stray. Strays will usually be cautious of new humans, even cats who are allowed out will be the same. She had none of that caution.

So my partner and I looked at each other, and both came to the same conclusion: we couldn’t just leave her. We’d come out to a dead cat. So up I scooped Bean, and took her to our tiny flat to shut her in our bathroom with food (which disappeared depressingly quickly) and water, a litter box and bedding. She purred the entire time and was ‘cuddling’ me, which is another sign she was owned.

In all, she seemed like a house cat that had got out.

I phoned round and managed to find a vet that was open on a Saturday and not too far from us, and off I toddled with her to said vet. We found out that she was only 2.9kg, very underweight, and had flea-allergic dermatitis (just like my Apostrophe) which she had made worse by fussing with the itches until they had become sore. Apart from that, she was healthy and hearty, 7-8 years old…and unchipped. No microchip.

The vets were nice and have cut down on the price of the checkup for being kind enough to pick her up and look for her owners, but the reality is we are right before a payday (oh the joys of living paycheck to paycheck) and have had to break into our rent money to care for little Bean. Rent is due in 6 days, and while I would happily pay any amount for her the reality is we need that money. We’re looking to raise about £50 ($64) for the checkup, price for the flyers to find her folks and for food/general care as that’s about what it’s taken and we’re fostering her for the foreseeable future.

If you can help, the link’s here - even just a quid/dollar will help. If not, please pass this round. 

As a note, any excess over the £50 will be going to Team Cat Rescue - a local Birmingham-based charity that is helping us with posting about the cat and has lent us a cat-crate to keep Bean in.

Thank you in advance!
