Next step: An urgent vet exam to find out why his back legs are giving out. I’ve asked his family how he’s doing and will post an update here as soon as I hear.

Bandit is a cat who loves to chase his ball. On November 6, Jasmine noticed he stopped playing, hid under the bed, and could walk only a few steps before lying down, as if his back legs gave out. He felt warm and his gums looked pale.

His family’s $4,000 goal is for an emergency exam, diagnosis and treatment. There is no vet estimate yet.

Where things stand

The goal is $4,000 to help with Bandit’s emergency exam, diagnosis and treatment, and any follow-up care he needs. There is no vet estimate yet; I’ll post updates here as they come in.
