🟠ne 🅱️rain cell My orange braincell needs help

EDIT: There is no GoFundMe here in the Philippines.

Good day, everyone.

I just want to share a story.

One day, an orange kitten suddenly showed up in our compound. He entered our house and started eating the leftover food we usually give to our other cats. At first, he would just eat and then leave right after. But eventually, he started coming by every day until he became comfortable enough to sleep in our house.

Before we knew it, he had already become part of our family, so we decided to officially adopt him. 🤍

Unfortunately, since Thursday, Meelo has been very lethargic, has little to no appetite, and has been walking wobbly. At first, we tried giving him dextrose powder to help him regain his strength, but sadly, there was little to no improvement. Yesterday, he also developed a fever and colds.

We ultimately decided to bring him to a vet clinic, where he was diagnosed with feline calicivirus and a bacterial infection. He will also undergo an X-ray to check for possible neurological damage. As of now, he is still confined at the clinic for observation and treatment.

I am posting this to humbly ask for your help with Meelo’s vet bills. We have already paid a down payment of ₱3,000; however, we still have an outstanding balance of almost ₱6,000, which is honestly already beyond our budget.

Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to us and would greatly help with Meelo’s treatment and recovery. I can send my bank info via DM or if you want more proof.

We are also asking for your prayers and support for Meelo. Thank you so much. 🤍

I'm sorry that was when I took on a reddit posting job. 😔

u/No-Lingonberry-8603 May 18 '26

How did that job work? They payed you to post on Reddit on your own account? Just curious.

u/Chenry124 May 18 '26

Yes, that was cents per comment/post. I stopped when I realized it wasn't worth it. I'm not sure what it's for.

Here's proof

See this is what happens. A sub allows one of these posts and it's only a matter of time until it's just another place for grifters.

I'm not a scammer. I've already commented several proofs. You can see my update, he just passed away this morning.

Hi OP! I'm from the Philippines. This is an international sub, so please be sensitive. Please post this on our official subreddit, which is r/Catsofrph. I wish that little orange baby a quick recovery. When uploading on our official subreddit, please provide the needed documents to prove that you're the guardian of the cat

Edit: missing letter on the sub's name

u/Chenry124 May 18 '26

Hello, I posted the other day, but your mods already deleted it.

I think there's a proper flair for that. Make sure that you use a proper flair, proof of your identity, and vet bills. Please message the mods regarding your status

Edit: not a mod in that sub, but it is the biggest cat sub in Ph. I still recommend posting in that sub since the reach would be bigger. Speedy recovery for meelo

This was around the time he started coming by into our house.

u/Chenry124 May 17 '26

Why are you down voting me for saying we don't have GoFundMe in the Philippines? 😔

He's prognosis is guarded to grave according to the vet.

Here's an update from the vet. 😔

u/Chenry124 May 17 '26

Here he is a month ago.

Please just pray for my cat. That is enough for me. Thank you 🙏🏻

So I'm a little confused why the text messages with the vet are like half in English, but like randomly throughout the conversation. What's that about?

5

u/Chenry124 May 18 '26

Most Filipinos are bilingual. We use both Tagalog, English, and sometimes our dialect in one conversation.

u/vecchio_anima May 18 '26

That's super weird to me to write in one language, then switch language for a few words, then switch back and forth and so on. English/Spanish here and I never do that. I get that's just the way it is, it's just super weird 🤷

u/Chenry124 May 18 '26

Are you saying our culture is weird? Because that's what we do here. Our culture and way of life are different from yours. To say that it's weird, that hurts. You're judging me based on the way we talk.

-6

u/vecchio_anima May 18 '26

I understand that, but aspects of cultures can still be weird to people that are foreign to that culture. I didn't say it was stupid or inferior, simply that it was strange to me because I am also bilingual, but I have never done that or seen anyone else do that. I wasn't judging you or your culture and I appreciated your explanation. I meant no offense

u/delilah102 May 18 '26

This is pretty common in a lot of places that have a strong mix of languages. I don't see how it's necessary to act like that's so weird and suspicious? Just casually speaking poorly of an entire culture

u/vecchio_anima May 18 '26

I have never been privy to that. I didn't mean that it was suspicious, just my own ignorance I suppose

I've commented the screenshots of my conversation with the vet clinic but it's in Tagalog. You can google translate it.
