Having a cat as an ESA is funny and weird, but incredibly rewarding.
I was crying, hugging him tight and promising to always love him, something I still promise, but he only wanted to be free because why is this 'big crying human trapping me?' but after I let him go and he ran around the room for his nightly zoomies, he noticed I was doom scrolling on Tumblr and being completely silent, something I only ever truly do when I'm overwhelmed with too many emotions, and he started pawing at me to pet him.
Who knows if he's just a cuddly guy who wants to go to bed after a long day of doing nothing (very stressful day for him) but he just stood there, letting me pet him and purring. Reminding me that I'm still here, he's still here, and he's not leaving.
He's done this ever since I first got him, I got a really bad sunburn and could do nothing but lay in bed and cry, then panic attack after panic attack he just...kept doing it.
I'm not saying he doesn't like the attention from it, and I'm not saying cats don't immediately want your attention when you're not paying attention to them, but I am saying that when he does this, or when he tries to push my legs under a blanket when it's late and he's ready to sleep, it becomes more of a reason why I say he keeps me emotionally stable.
I have to keep a job to pay rent and pay for him. So I have to go to work. I have to be alive so I can feed him, so I eat food and drink water. He licks my face a lot, so I have to remember to take care of my hygiene and wash said face. I can't stay in bed all day, because then he'll never get fed. If I take my meds, he gets a treat, and he loves greenies so we both take our 'meds'.
I don't know if he's made any of these calculations, other than 'meow for food, wait, and get food, lick because it doesn't smell like me, I want a treat, so you take your treats. I want to sleep, move so I'm comfortable,' but I like to think he knows.
He's this dumb little emotionally intelligent creature that I adopted because I've always lived with pets and living without one felt weird. I got him from a shelter and didn't think much more than 'oh he's so sweet and won't leave me alone, I love him,' but whether it was some strange coincidence or cosmic plan, he keeps me human. He keeps me sane. And he's the perfect little eight pound creature for being in a crisis.

My union rep is taking her new role very seriously. Every 2-3 hours she comes over and reminds me I need to get up and stretch, take a bathroom break, and get away from the work grind.
She's the goodest cinnamon roll.

Jolene's Emergency Vet Visit
Tumblr media
Description posted from GoFundMe Campaign:
So for those of you who gave followed me (and maybe seen the update) you'll know Salem has been missing for almost 6 months.
She was my ESA, and given my declining mental health, I didn't have much choice but to get a new ESA.
Enter miss Jolene Macchiato L. Whom I adopted almost two months ago and have whole heartedly decided to keep after realizing just how well we mesh.
You may also know I've been in the hospital the last few days - staying with my roommate who was admitted. I've been coming home to feed the cats and (unsuccessfully) treat them for ear mites. My new roommate was dog sitting and he brought fleas and ear mites into our home.
During this time, Jolene went to the bathroom on my bed multiple times. I at first chalked it up to stress and was told to keep an eye on here. Less than a day of being back from the hospital and her stool is light in color, runny, and most terrifyingly, has blood in it.
This is no longer an issue of stress, but could be a major intestinal/stomach problem when mixed with her inability to wait and use her litterbox. On top of that, she was running around like she was in pain, or something was wrong prior to going.
My second job is not a sure thing yet - it has been more than two weeks since the company reached out to me - and I have been looking for more. The money I thought I won was more a scam to get me down to the car dealership (which by the way, I hated as is because of the older man behaving increasingly grossly and inappropriate towards me).
My funding for Salem has stopped at this point - I have done every physical thing I can to find and bring her home. And now I need to focus on the new feline in my care.
I am taking Jolene to the vet tomorrow and using my new credit card - but there are limited funds and paying it back is my current concern when I have payments taking up to the 1,000s combined due these next two months.
I am setting it to $550 for now (because they take a portion), but the price my change depending on what the vet says and what is wrong.
I know she still need to get treated for ear mites ($300 on it's own) because the current medications I've been using are not working."
This is my fundraiser.
Additional pictures of her adoption papers added on here as well proving when I got her. JOLENE IS A REGISTERED ESA NOW.
Jolene as far as I have been told is two years old, though she is very small for her age. She is a sweet heart though she was likely on the streets for a most of not all her life before she was taken to the shelter and I adopted her a month later.
She is a sweet cat that just wants to check and make sure that you're okay. She'll cuddle. She doesn't meow but she does trill and sound like yoshi.
She just wants to make friends with everyone. And if you're not petting her enough then the grabs your hand and brings it right to her face as she stands on her back legs.
This is the last fundraiser I'm making. Ask anyone I know in real life and they'll tell you just how much I despise asking for help. I want to be able to do things on my own. But until I get one bite from the hundreds (literally) of jobs I've applied to as a secondary then I'm at a loss. I can't afford to wait and save up for this vet Visit - not when her health is on the line.
I can post a picture of her at the vets office tomorrow as well to confirm, along with the update of what they set.
GoFundMe
PayPal
Venmo
Currently $750/$750
Tumblr media
UPDATE - 08.02.2023
UNDER THE CUT
We went to the vet today.
TL:DR - she is on medications for the next two weeks, roughly. She did very good at the vet and was very brave. $500 was close, it will come out to be roughly $700 all together after ear mite treatment; we are holding off for now until the other cat in the house can be treated or they will just jump between them, which gives some more time to get there funds. But the over the counter medications are not strong enough to fight the infestation, and depending on severity, it could lead to long term health problems.
So I changed it from $550 -> $750 (again, because they take a processing fee). I also added in there roughly $200 that had been sent from PayPal and Venmo to give a more accurate show off current raised funds.
Below are screenshots of the update explaining more, along with pictures of Jolene at the vet today.
(Straight up, I almost cried because in the right two months that I have had her this was the first time she had crawled into my lap to lay down and cuddle with me.)

ways a pet cat can help you deal with psychosis:
•if you see or hear something and dont know if its real or not, check if youre cat is reacting to it, something loud would make them look at it, someone intruding would startle them
•theyll make sure you get used to hearing random noises throughout the house, you can always check and see if they did it
•if tacticle hallucinations are bugging you, go over and pet your cat, they have such a nice real texture you can focus on
•some cats learn to come and comfort you when you need it most
•if nothing feels real, cuddle up to your cat, you can feel them breathing, feel their heartbeat, maybe feel them purring, thats real right there
•notice how your cat isnt judging you, they dont know or care that you are psychotic, they just see you as their owner and they love you

[DI: Una foto de el segundo y tercer piso del ateneo, enfocándose en los pequeños balcones con asientos para leer. La foto tiene texto que dice: "What if we kissed at la sección de lectura del ateneo grand splendid, and we were both girls (cuatro emojis sonrojados)". Fin de DI]

So much of the time, my life feels like it's missing a tiny little shard, one constant that must have been here at some point but is no longer present, and then out of the blue I'll get to pet a dog or a friend's cat will greet me at the door and I go Oh! I'm missing a little buddy! A familiar companion! The ever-present tickle of pet fur incessantly itching at my nostrils! How foolish!!!

Hey yall!! So this is Jelly Bean, and he needs to see a cardiologist. We found out he has a moderate heart murmur, and there's no way to tell how serious it is without seeing a specialist.
Unfortunately, it's $800, and we are really strapped for money.
It's really important that he sees one, becuase until we can figure out why he has this murmur, he can't be put under if he needs surgery, and he desperately needs a dental cleaning.
He is my best friend and my emotional support animal, and I want to be able to do everything I can to give him a happy life. Any amount of money no matter how small would be extremely helpful!
My cashapp is $ericgoat505

I always be watching shows or listening to ADs and go “they me fr fr” and then I watched all the current seasons to LMK to discover that the character that is literally me, is a giant blue lego man with a Mohawk and an equally blue cat (also with a Mohawk)
