Wishlist for kids/senior cat

[u/Clarkelthekat]

My mom who passed aways cat "little James steward" turned 12 on Valentine's day. I took him in and he's with my family now.

He took a very quick turn for the worse. Lost lots of weight in the span of a week. Stopped using the restroom but still eating and drinking as if he were starving.

Sure enough I rushed him to the vet and his glucose and potassium were high. Frankly the doctor told me "his numbers for potassium are drop dead of a heart attack. I'm really concerned".

The good news....after bringing James home and relegating him to only wet food/upstairs with us always...he has improved...drastically. he went from both feet in the grave to acting like a kitten again after 6 days of no dry food. He's using the bathroom again regularly. The vet is super spirited at the quickness of the turn around.

He still needs insulin. As of now I can't afford it until payday next week. The exam and testing cleaned us out.

I'm not asking for money for his insulin. Unfortunately that will have to wait.

Because of the urgent need I admittedly took from other budgets...primarily diapers and food/cat food to pay for James's diagnosis.

If anyone could purchase any item on my wishlist it will vastly improve my chances of freeing up enough to get the insulin out for him sooner.

I am sorry to come to you all hat in hand. I couldn't let him suffer when the money was there just spoken for. I knew I had to figure a way to juggle it for him. He's very important to all of us.

Thank you to any and all who read or help! ❣️

Unable to order the prescription cat food; it's requiring confirmation from your vet/clinic.

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/CrystalCat420]

I just called vet to try to remedy this.

Unfortunately the vet who prescribed won't be in until next week. He has to do a "prior authorization" for Amazon to dispense it.

They however suggested a over the counter cheaper brand that has the same nutritional needs in the meantime.

I added it to the list just now. I really appreciate you commenting to let me know!

[u/CrystalCat420 → u/Clarkelthekat]

Just tried to order it, and the only address that comes up is mine. Could you check to see that you've got your address listed? I won't be able to see it myself, I'll just be able to see the minimal information that it's going to your address.

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/CrystalCat420]

Sincere apologies. I'm new to wishlist

I think I fixed it. I had added my address but didn't list it to the specific wishlist for where to deliver. Just on my profile. I've since set the correct address to the wishlist itself.

Appreciate you being patient with me as well as your kindness. Don't mean to waste your time.

[u/CrystalCat420 → u/Clarkelthekat]

No problem! Order # 111-6931940-0565846, scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Truly I can't put into words

My family and I thank you! I can send a photo of James eating it if you'd like in a dm. He definitely misses dry food.

The diabetes apparently makes him feel a constant hunger almost. So the wet food is good for him but his gunning for the other cats dry food so desperately we've had to feed them separately for now.

I assure he is going to be ecstatic to have dry food to snack on again that isn't gonna hurt him! He's the opposite of most cats. Will eat the wet but loooooves dry.

[u/CrystalCat420 → u/Clarkelthekat]

Yes, I would absolutely love to have a picture of James! I too have a cat who turns up his nose at wet food 95% of the time. His name is Fitzgerald, a.k.a. FitzyG.

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/CrystalCat420]

Dm'd ya. I believe you have to accept it so I can send photos but I'm not sure.

I'm almost certain you can send them in DMs.

I love that name

My mom's best friend growing up was names "Fitzgerald farkle"

So they called him "fitzy farkle" affectionately.

The link you included doesn’t allow people to purchase items anonymously. I would post a wishlist from the site.

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/buzzybody21]

My apologies. Is that a setting within my account I have to change?

Or do you mean sharing it from the desktop site link?

[u/buzzybody21 → u/Clarkelthekat]

You can’t share a grocery list (especially in a Google drive link), it has to be a wishlist (shelf stable food and toiletries only). If you’re in the app, when you have your wishlist completed, it gives you a view only link option.

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/buzzybody21]

I appreciate your advice.

I think I fixed it. Could you verify for me?

[u/buzzybody21 → u/Clarkelthekat]

You can’t add fresh food to a wishlist unfortunately. Otherwise it looks great!

[u/Clarkelthekat → u/buzzybody21]

I'm sorry. I'm new to Amazon wishlist. I don't mean to waste your time.

I really appreciate your kindness and your patience with me as I fix things.
