I'm opening commissions to donate to this rescue center and help save this cat. He needs surgery and jaw reconstruction. I would also love to be able to adopt him.
The money will be donated to save this specific cat.
Here is his donation page with his story:

as you can notice, he looks exactly like my cat Minchio, who died 6 years ago from a mouth infection that my vets couldn't (or didn't want) to cure:

I still feel so guilty, all I had to do was to change vet and he might be still alive today... But I trusted the vets and he ended up dying from this infection. So now I want to help this cat and see if I manage to redeem myself and feel a little better (I doubt it though, unless I also manage to adopt him)


Here is the video with the link to the donation page if you feel like making a donation directly to them without me drawing something:

I will draw your pet in this cute style for 10$, just send me a full body picture of your pet and I'll draw him/her. I can draw reptiles, rodents and fishes too.

I can also draw fantasy creatures and fursonas.

I can make you a reference sheet of your animal character like these for 30-40$, depending on the complexity of the character.

If you want to donate by yourself, you can do so by following the donation link in the aforementioned video description, however if you do so, I won't draw you anything. But if you feel in your heart that you want to help him and have nothing in return, then it's even better because paypal won't keep double fees for itself.

Thanks for your help! If you can't donate, please help me spread the world and share this journal! Sharing helps a lot!


UPDATE: I just wanted to let you know that Sam had his surgery a few days ago and he's doing relatively well. Here is the video of the surgery (WARNING GRAPHIC FOOTAGE)
UPDATE 2: I contacted the animal rescue center asking if I could adopt Sam but I never got an answer so I guess I'm not good enough to adopt him :((((((((((((((
Thank you to everyone who helped!

I had made a mistake about my paycheck, I don't get paid until this coming Wednesday; BUT I should still have enough to donate 30 comfortably! Just let me know how to give it to you ^^ And I just read over this journal in greater detail. You have my deepest sympathies for your cat. I know that it's never easy to lose an animal, but you mustn't blame yourself for his passing. You did what you thought was right at the time, and it's easy to judge yourself with hindsight. If those vets didn't perform, then that's on them. You did what you you could and I'm positive with how nice you've been to me, that you gave your cat a fantastic life! It took me a long time to learn to stop blaming myself when my Shih tzu Abby passed away, but once you do, it makes it easier to remember the good times and remember them in your heart fondly without clouds of doubt distracting you.
