This is my cat Cocoa. He is an absolute angel, and one of the greatest gifts in my life. He’ll come to me when I call him, he’ll stand on his hind legs and tab on my leg when he wants my attention, he snuggles up with me in bed he’ll chase his tail when he thinks I’m not looking. Anyone of my friends can tell who how sweet he (and his sister) are. He and his sister Peanut (seen in the last photo), have been with me since Christmas of 2000. They’ll be turning 13 this October. They’ve indoor cats, and they’ve never had any health problems.

Recently I moved in with my aunt, who has outdoor cats, so to make sure they’d stay healthy, they’ve recently got shots, even though they would never be exposed to the other cats. Today they had to go in to get booster shots. After the vet checked Cocoa’s heart rate,she told me that he has grade 4 heart murmurs. From what I understand, this means his heart is making unusual sounds, and could mean he possibly has or will have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). She said it was from bad dental, and having plaque buildup. Peanut’s heart rate was fine, but she also has plaque buildup, the vet said she was also likely to get it. I was told I would need to get his heart x-rayed.

Problem is, I have no job. I have about $170 saved up for the two conventions I was going to attend this year, but my cats are far more important. However, I have a feeling that this is not going to be enough to pay for x-rays and dental, and if Cocoa does have HCM, any medication he might need. I’m praying to god that he’s fine, he’s acting perfectly fine and not showing any signs of pain but I don’t want to take any chances.
