She was suffering from a headache so she put several Advil capsules in a plastic bag and took them with her. When she returned home a couple of days later, she brought several of the capsules \u2013 still in the plastic bag \u2013 with her.<\/p>\n<p>When she got home, she tossed the bag with the pills in a large basket. One evening a few days later she came home from work to find Advil capsules and the plastic bag scattered around the floor \u2013 and her black and white cat Simon acting strangely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe basket is pretty big and he just got them [the pills] out and played with them. He was sleeping and he didn\u2019t want to eat.\u00a0 He usually eats a lot. And I thought, \u2018Oh, maybe it has something to do with the pills.\u2019\u00a0 I think he ate at least one or two of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I called the cat clinic and they said to bring him there right away. They checked Simon and said that he needed treatment. It was going to cost a lot so I called around and asked for help because I couldn\u2019t afford to pay that much. The pet clinic helped me and they found one organization [Angel Fund] that would help me, too.\u00a0 I really did appreciate that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hospital, The Cat Care Clinic in Orange, diagnosed Simon with acute renal failure because of ibuprofen toxicity. They treated him for several days at the hospital. When Chen took him home he was the old Simon \u2013 curious, playful and affectionate.<\/p>\n<p>The clinic and Angel Fund each contributed $250 to Simon\u2019s care.\u00a0 Chen, who is a single mother with a modest income, paid off the balance over time.<\/p>\n<p>Simon is \u201cback to normal now,\u201d she said. \u201cI am happy and I really appreciate the help I got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last June, Rosemary Chen left her Anaheim home for a wedding in Big Bear.
