Cat community comes together to help 16-year-old pet pawrent who can't afford to bring their cat to the vet in heartwarming act of kindness: 'I'll pay for the Uber'

Do you know why we don't trust people who don't like animals, feline fam? It's because those that do are some of the kindest, most generous people we've ever met. They are almost always willing to help other pet parents in need, without even knowing them. Like, for example, when people caught this homeless man throwing a "birthday party" for his doggos, and he ended up getting thousands of dollars in donation to help him and his puppers out. They know how much their fluffy feline means to them, and understand the purrfectly perilous life of a struggling pawrent. Those surprise vet bills can really sneak up on you, especially if you don't have insurance.

At one time in our life, we had to choose between feeding our cat and feeding ourselves. Luckily, we've climbed our way out of that horrible scenario, but we understand the struggle. We didn't have Reddit or Facebook to help us crowdfund; we had to figure it out ourselves. But not today! A 16-year-old cat owner needed to take her cat to the vet, and didn't have the help of her parents or the money to do so. The cat community reached out to pay for her Uber and her vet visit. This is proof for, at least right now, there is still good in the world.
