CF treatment is long-term and can really add up. I was one of those folks who "took matters into my own hands" because I want you to be able to keep him for as long as treatment is effective. I don't want you to have to stop six months or a year down the road because you have to choose between treatment and groceries.
Once upon a time, I had a goofy orange cat named Fred. He, too, was a rescue cat. He had kidney issues and developed a urinary tract blockage and it didn't look good.
Unbeknownst to me, my mother had played a lottery ticket and won a nice prize. She very kindly shared the wealth and sent my sister and I a bit of her windfall.
Unbeknownst to my mother, the day the check arrived was the day Fred took ill.
It saved his life and we had another five good years with him. I consider this paying it forward.
