UPDATE: Thank you to everyone that has liked, shared, and donated to Gratecie’s care. Unfortunately, our sweet girl is still not doing well but everyone is doing their best to keep her comfortable. ❤️🩹
This is Gratecie. She is not impressed. But she really does need your help. 🥺
If you’ve ever been to the Fix'Em Clinic, you’ve probably seen Gratecie. She’s the senior cat who runs the place, screams at full volume to be let in and out of the front office, inspects all the patients, and generally reminds us all who’s in charge. She has permanent RBF (thanks to a full mouth extraction), but honestly… it matches her personality perfectly.
Gratecie lives in our Director’s office, but her real person is one of our vet assistants, Izzy — who Gratecie is fully convinced gave birth to her. Everyone else is just tolerated at best. She’s picky with affection, quick to swat when she’s had enough, and absolutely shameless about smoozing up to all of the staff’s dogs. She’s rude. She’s grumpy. She’s funny. But she’s our girl.
Sadly, right now, Gratecie is very sick 😭 She’s a senior kitty with kidney disease and has been feeling poorly for several days. With the clinic closed this weekend, she needs to be hospitalized at the ER — away from her home, her office, and Izzy — and the cost is already adding up quickly. We are expecting the bill to be at least $1,000 and possibly closer to $2,000.
Izzy has always paid for all of Gratecie’s care out of her own pocket, but this is more than one person should have to shoulder alone. We know our time with Gratecie is limited because of her age and health… but she still has a lot of spite, sass, and yelling left in her, and we want to give her the chance to keep being herself as long as possible!
If Gratecie has ever yelled at you, judged you, or graced you with her presence, please consider helping us get her through this.
If you’d like to donate towards her medical care:
🐾 PayPal: [email protected]
🐾 Directly to the clinic: www.fixemclinic.org/donate
(The ER does not accept call-in donations, but the clinic will forward all funds to Gratecie’s ER bill)
Every share and every dollar helps! Thank you for loving our grumpy little clinic gremlin as much as we do. 🧡
