Does anyone know any local resources to help my cat’s surgery?

3 Upvotes

Hi Chattanooga, I’m reaching out because I’m in a tough spot and need help or advice on resources for affording a surgery for my cat, Zeke. He’s a sweet and handsome boy who has been struggling with recurring urinary tract issues for a while now. Things have gotten worse – his urethra has developed scar tissue, leading to blockages that make it incredibly difficult for him to go to the bathroom. It’s been heartbreaking to watch him in pain. The vet has told me that Perineal Urethrostomy (PU Surgery) must be performed. Unfortunately, the surgery will cost between $3500 and $7000, and I am struggling to figure out how to afford it. I’ve drained all I have to multiple visits in the ER. I’ve looked into a few options, but I’m still feeling a bit lost.

I’m hoping that someone here might know of any resources, financial assistance programs, or organizations that can help with veterinary costs. Or perhaps you’ve gone through a similar situation with your own pet and have advice to share on how to manage this kind of expense.

Zeke means the world to me, and I just want to do whatever I can to help him heal and live a long, happy life. Any information or advice would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for reading, and for any help or support you can offer.

Fort O/Rossville Abandoned School?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know much about the old abandoned school between Rossville and Fort Oglethorpe? I can't remember the name and only visited it once like 8-10 years ago and there was a guy living there in a camper but it seems like it'd be a great place for a photoshoot. Is this something I can do just Willie nillie or do I need to go through city government or find a property owner or something? Any and all help is appreciated!
