Brownie and his sister, Angel, came to me as foster kittens back in 2009. I fell madly in love with both of them, and they have been my constant companions since. Both of them are basically attached to my side any time that I am at home, and when I am away, people have told me he is the most emotionally needy cat they have ever met. He has also been an excellent foster dad to around 100 kittens over the years. 

 About 1.5 years ago, he started having terrible diarrhea and his weight plummeted. After countless vet visits, different special foods, and medication attempts, it was finally discovered from a biopsy that Brownie has intestinal cancer. Just to get to that point, I had already spent over $2000 in that time period.   

 I don't make a lot of money, so I was very apprehensive about trying chemotherapy, but my primary vet said with pets it is often only around $300 a month, which was rough, but manageable.  That has not ended up being the case.  Just to get him into the oncologist and start on his meds has been over $2000, and just today his visit came out to almost $500.  I was told the next visit would cost close to $700 due to an ultrasound, and that is more than one week of income alone. As someone who makes less than that much per paycheck, I simply can't keep covering bills like this. I don't want to give up though, as all of his tests have come back saying that the chemo is already doing its job, and his weight has increased. 

I have applied for a special pet cancer grant through Fetch a Cure and Care Credit to get zero interest payments from now on, but I will still need some help to cover everything.

These costs are also not including my other cat, who has hypothyroidism or the care for my colony cats.

Thank you for your time and every little bit helps.
