Emergncy Surgery for Arty

Zion and Artemis need your help! Artemis is Zion's soul cat, that he has had since she was a baby. If you know Artemis you know she is a VERY special cat, she is highly intuitive and human like. She is so vocal and having her in the house feels like having another human spirit. We noticed something was off about her a few days ago, but hoped it would self resolve. She has had issues going to the bathroom, and today we made the decision to take her into the vet. Unfortunately, we were told she needed to go into emergency surgery immediately, for life saving care. If you have a fur baby you know how terrifying this kind of experience is, and we are asking for your help for the financial aspect of this ordeal.

If you know Zion, you know he lives with Maria and Angela, as the 3 co-hosts of Movement Monday. Artemis is Zion's fur baby, and she is also Maria and Angela's baby too. The 3 of us need your help because this emergency surgery is estimated to cost upwards of $8,000. Getting this estimate was gut-wrenching, and we are leaning on the community to support us through this right now.

The 3 of us live humbly and are huge on giving back to the community. We are asking for your help in these moments to support this life saving care that Artemis needs. Every single $1 will add up, and if you don't have the means to contribute, we appreciate all prayers, light energy and healing sent to Artemis right now.

I attached the images of the bills, but it doesn't show the entire itemized sheet because of limitations here on Free Funder. We chose to go with FreeFunder because it doesn't take away any fee's like GoFundMe does.

In a short synopsis, Artemis has a UTI, and upon X-rays of her bladder, it was found that there are crystals in her bladder, with one of them blocking her from going to the bathroom. This is life threatening and could take her life within hours.

Artemis is scheduled to go into surgery in the next hour, and we are hoping for a smooth procedure, with a hopeful recovery.

THANK YOU so much for supporting our little family during this incredibly scary and stressful time. We appreciate you all so much, and please don't reach out to send love, and ask for updates.
