One of our family's kitties, Bobby, had a lump growing in his leg for several months before we could afford to get him an XRay and the lab results came back positive for cancer. The doctor urged us that he must have the leg amputated so the cancer does not spread to the rest of his body. The estimate for the procedure came out to $2,500 (not including aftercare). My family is living on a very tight and fixed income since my dad lost his job. They only receive several hundred dollars a month from my father's social security and that barely covers basic living expenses. Please donate what you can to help my family pay for Bobby's surgery.

Several years ago, while I was living with my family in Lodi, a stray female cat found her way into our tiny backyard, meowing her head off! She was so talkative and funny looking - round, with short thin little legs, bright eyes, and the end of her tail curled like a pig. We decided to take her in and we eventually realized that she was pregnant! She gave birth in our backyard to four beautiful little baby kittens. I remember seeing them all with their eyes and ears shut tight, nursing from the mama kitty. We eventually named them all - Dagan, Peevee, Kiki, and Bobby. Since they were so little it was difficult to determine the sex, and I thought one or two of them were girls, but I found out later they were all boys. The four brothers and their mama kitty (we named her Whiney because she is so talkative) all have been living happily together with my mom, dad, and three other cats named Tucker, Meebes, and Stinky. Each and every cat has their own distinct personality and has been a loving member of our family for years. They have become like my mom's children since my brother and I grew up and moved out of the house. My family has always struggled financially and I keep telling them that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. I wouldn't be where I am today without the help of my family and friends. Please, help by donating if you can or at least by sharing this page. My family and especially Bobby would be very appreciative!
