Help Now	Prescription Food for Emotional Support Cat A woman in our community is currently struggling financially and living paycheck to paycheck. Her emotional support cat has been diagnosed with a bladder stone and needs prescription cat food specifically formulated to help dissolve the stone and prevent further complications. Unfortunately, the prescription food costs approximately $150 through her veterinarian, which she is unable to afford right now. Her cat has been experiencing discomfort for nearly two months, and getting the proper food would provide much-needed relief and help address the bladder stone. We are seeking $150 to cover the cost of the prescription cat food and help this individual care for an animal that provides important emotional support and companionship.
