*sigh* guys. I'm back. in the time of cat scams, i know, i know. I am sorry to be posting this. i know times are really tough for a lot of people, I'm sorry.
If you are concerned about scammers you can see my cats in the history of my blog in my tag here.
Hi, those of you who know me here probably know that we've been struggling with a lot of veterinary issues lately between our three cats, two of whom have Feline Lower Urinary Tract disease*.
My partner and I are a single-income household. I am disabled and have been struggling to find work. Our cats are our babies, our life, and we've had a string of bad luck this past year with multiple emergency vet visits for Almondine's gastro issues for what the vets suspect is a yet-undetermined allergy. Those fees cost us around $5,000, but we were able to cover it.
Today we had to bring Quintin in to the vet because his urinary crystals came back despite being on a prescription urinary diet. We noticed he was straining and rushed him to the emergency vet where they confirmed he was fully blocked, and where he will insert a catheter to remove the blockage. He will have to stay at the vet for three days to ensure he doesn't block again. Further treatment will depend on his condition. His bloodwork and x-rays were good, so we're hopeful he'll be okay, but dehydration and electrolyte imbalances may have to be treated with intravenous fluid therapy and he will likely be given/prescribed pain medication and anti-anxiety medicine, as well as anti-inflammatories to help him feel better.
His estimation is around $5,546 for the 3-day stay, the bloodwork and x-rays, and the medications he will need. (please message me if you would like to see a receipt)
For us, this fee is astronomical, and sets us back nearly half a year in rent payments. All funds raised here will go towards Quintin's care.
Any help you can give us will help us so much in terms of being able to afford Quintin's current emergency care, and help us afford his prescription food which prevents the development of crystals, as well as help to keep us securely housed.
*FLUTD or urinary blockages in cats are a serious medical condition that are fatal if not caught in time. Life-threatening consequences can occur in as little as 12-24 hours.

uh hi. got some few followers because that LSN post. some points of housekeeping:
this blog rare contained little space where actually safe when wider autism & disability community very hostile to people like me. n whenever people follow me because of posts not about severe disability / level 2&3 HrSN nonverbal autism, some new people don’t know what going on & sometimes do stuff that make this space feel unsafe. you’re more than welcome to stay as long as you follow housekeeping & have general respect
1. not written by me but read this
& do search in blog for intellectual disability too
2. use stuff like autism levels & nonverbal & impairment & deficit language & severe autism & severe disability & visible autism here to describe self & have friends who also use them. while not use for self, also have friend who been called low functioning & also call themself that. you not have to like all that for yourself but don’t police what we call self don’t tell me “um actually this is ableist… but of course you call yourself whatever!” uh. we know. basically if you uncomfortable to even see these language my blog not for you.
eventually will have actual post about this instead of respond to someone rude who blocked me after this n so blocked back… but for now this will do (probably used to have one but too tired find right now)
3. 99% time post about above topic. n blog center people with those experiences & decenter LSN level 1 mild whatever language use. reflect on your experience n who you are n your privileges n your advantages bc we all have some yea even me
4. because do experience stuff post about they not just words… no empathy, can’t mask, have very bad theory of mind, often don’t understand other people exist not to mention have different thoughts feelings knowledge experience than me. am bitter a lot, mad a lot, angry a lot. think in extremes, n immediate write what think, immediate post what write. can be angry aggressive without realize n even if do realize, can’t really do anything about it. basically have level 2/3 autism have big communication struggle have big cognitive struggle & act like it
5. don’t tell me you relate to what am saying unless am know you. keep have problem of people think they experience same thing am talking about but actually turn out very different whole other world n am wish can be like them. sorry to people am not familiar with who genuinely understand n relate but please understand need this
6. am just one random nonverbal person with level 2/3 autism & higher support needs & severe disability online. human. so make mistakes. n have bad takes like anyone. don’t treat me as write universal truth never wrong
7. oh something important. no “going nonverbal” “nonverbal episode” “sometimes nonverbal” etc
should update all this on pinned
tone sound annoyed pissed off because kind of am… but not because of this so not at any of you all not personal

I don't mean to be overly nitpicky and biased but what's the point of following a guy if he's never gonna post again? Like fr fr I like your stuff tons it's always cool to see but I don't get the logic behind the other guys remark as kind and sweet as it was.
Sometimes people use exaggeration for effect
On a serious note though not unfollowing means that you have a way to potentially re-find an artist if you lose track of them (forgot their name, suddenly remembered them, etc) or missed some sort of good-bye message, and that you can potentially catch an update if they start posting again since sometimes life happens and people return after a long hiatus
