Just a quick update:
Well we thought Leo was doing better, but it looks like my mom will have to take Leo to the Vet again as he's limping suspiciously, that coupled with him running away from my mom is kinda weird. She's taking him in on Wednesday, so I hope nothing serious is happening :C
Both my sister and I will continue to accept donations on Leo's behalf for his meds and surgery, just let us know what you'd like us to draw in return (and what preference you have, me or my sister's work lol). Thank you again everyone for your support! <3
I know this isn't a sketch based post, but my family and I need a helping hand.
Last night my cat Leo underwent emergency surgery because his bladder ruptured. As far as I know he may have permanent damage to his kidneys due to crystallization blockage in his urethra that prevented him from relieving himself and flushing the toxins out of his body. He lost a lot of blood and we're very wary about his recovery, he would have died had my mom not taken him to the vet in time. My family does not have the funds to pay for his surgery (which is up to $900, not including any meds he may need) and need help to try and pay off his bills. The little guy is my husky gentleman, I want him to get the care he needs without my family going into anymore financial trouble than they already have.
I'm opening up $10 sketches and accepting donations to help pay for his care and meds. If there are kind souls out there willing to help, please get in touch with me. I take payments through paypal, just send me an email (found on my profile) and let me know what you'd like me to draw.
Also, if anyone could spread the word about this fundraiser, please do so. I know I'll be doing a lot of work, but Leo means the world to me and I want him to be around when I come home.
EDIT
My sister set up a chip in account for Leo! You can make a donation directly from there using a paypal account. She will also be doing commission sketches for Leo as well, you can check out her work on her deviantart gallery.
My mom wants to let everyone know that she is absolutely happy and thrilled with the support Leo's received, and thanks you all from the bottom of her heart as do all of us in Leo's family (even his smart-mouth brother Charlie!) <3 *HUG*
Thanks in advance guys *HUG* Leo purrs with approval!
Here's some of the sketches I've done for the peeps who helps out!

Danielle, I just wanted you to know I plastered your info out in my social scene of animal rights activists and I hope you start getting some donations in. I know how difficult this can be, and I'm praying for your little Leo to recover and come home for you.
Sincerely,
ElizabethMD
Hi Danielle,
My son found and posted the information about Leo onto my Facebook profile page. I then reposted it onto an animal group that I belong to... and will be reposting it onto a couple more as well. I hope you are able to raise enough money to pay the vet bill. I also hope and pray for a full recovery of your precious fur baby.
Sincerely,
Ruth Hollands
