Hello all, this is Malachi & he's been very unwell. He suffers from Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, since 2 years old where he had major surgery because his bladder was blocked & nearly died. This means he get cystitis like infections easily.

4 weeks ago he got ill, after several weeks of antibiotics & tests we found out it it was due to 30 sharp crystals forming in his bladder. These tests were over £600.

They determined that Malachi's only option was surgery on his bladder to remove them costing £870, or have him put down which i refused. . Unfortunately as a pre-existing condition my insurance does not cover this.

The vet allowed the tests to be paid in installment, but not the surgery as they also discovered Malachi has Chronic Kidney Disease so deemed him not viable in a business sense. I have borrowed the money for the surgery which now has to be paid back - so i am asking for help, because on top of this Malachi must now go on an expensive specialist diet for the Kidney Disease & have tests regularly at £100+ a time.

In the long term the food & treatment are manageable costs, but he needs to go onto the food ASAP to slow the Kidney Disease developing, & currently for his bills i owe around £1500. I'm not the sort of person who likes asking for help, but he is worth swallowing my pride for, he means the world to me.

Malachi is a sweet little kitty, every morning he waits to hear me wake up either sleeping next to me or near, then meows & purrs at me & we have cuddles. When I get home from work he is always waiting by the door for me to come in. When it's bed time he sits & stares at me, then follows me round the house screaming his cute meow at me until I get into bed & he can cuddle up me & purr.

Any help is much appreciate by myself & Malachi.

Thank you all xxx
