This is my baby, Teacup. I've had her since I was 8 years old. Now I'm a 21 year old college student and my Tea is 13 years old! Teacup was the runt of her litter. She has been a little one her whole life. But even so, she has a mighty personality.


Some of Teacup's favorite activities are running after things, playing with her toys and people, basking in the sun, exploring outside, and especially cuddling! She loves being the center of attention!

Teacup is a major part of my life, I don't know what I would do without her. She has always been there for me ever since I was a child. She has always seemed to know when I was feeling down. Therefore, I want to do everything I can for her so that her life can be as healthy and enjoyable as possible...


College has made things tough. My family is not in a position to financially support me or my Tea (although I am very greatful that they let her stay with them while I am away at college). Therefore, I am paying for tuition, rent, etc. all on my own (and with loans and scholarships).

As I write this, Teacup is about to undergo a risky surgery to remove bladder stones. Although veterinarians in the past have told us these stones shouldn't interfere with her health too much as long as she takes antibiotics, today we have learned that one of the stones is obstructing her urethra. As a consequence her bladder expanded and she was in severe pain. I had to resort to an emergency draining of her urine, however there was still a blockage causing her to not pee. Starting to go into kidney failure, the doctor informed me that without a emergency surgery, she most likely wouldn't make it through the night. The cost of this surgery was too much for me to afford, which included an echocardiogram and other tests to find out how risky the surgery would be...At the time of signing the acceptance of costs, I only thought about saving her life. So to save her life I hade to resort to obtaining carecredit, which will need to be paid back soon.   

Teacup is my bundle of joy...she is still very active and I love seeing her happy. I deeply appreciate any interest that anyone has in helping her live her life to its fullest. And I hope others can understand and feel the joy and love that she brings to me and others around her. Isn't it amazing how such a small wonder can bring so much happiness to your life? 



All proceeds will go to Teacup's veterinary bill costs.
Tea and I would like to say Thank You!
