My heart is breaking and I honestly don't know where else to turn. My cat Monkey has a mass that may be cancerous, and the clock is ticking. The mass is located on his jaw/mouth area. His illness happened unexpectedly after noticing excessive drooling. I found the mass April 22nd. I took him to Petco and the vet didn't do any testing but said it was a cancerous tumor. I got a second opinion at Blue Cross Pet Clinic on April 27th. Their opinion was the same response as Petco. Blue Cross Pet Clinic said a biopsy needs to be done. They had to do bloodwork to make sure he can go under anesthesia due to Monkey's age. Today April 30th I received a message from vet stating exactly this, "Good morning, this is Dr. Plouffe at Blue Cross Pet Clinic. Monkey's bloodwork came back with some mild inflammation, which could be coming from the jaw/mouth area that we are concerned about. Also, one of the clotting times came back elevated, most likely not significant, as true bleeding disorders are extremely rare. Before the biopsy is done we will just do a quick test, where we prick the gums to make sure Monkey is able to stop bleeding. At this time, no changes to the plan are needed. Continue with your appointment as scheduled. All other values came back normal. Thank you."

I am currently unemployed. This is completely unexpected. I'm overwhelmed, I'm scared, and I'm doing everything I can to give him a fighting chance. It hurts me that I can't take my cat to get get the help that he needs for answers on his exact condition and needs. I set up a Gofundme and have yet to receive any donations (which I expected). Right now my only hope is through the people who are willing to donate. Monkey has been my comfort, my company, and my little shadow. He deserves a chance to fight this. Please help me give him that. I am hoping for good news even though they gave me their opinion on the mass being cancerous. This is the first steps to see if my Monkey has a chance to live more years or if I get results to keep him comfortable until his last day of fighting. Please help me if possible.
