Jackson's Medical Bills
Donation protected

A week ago we noticed Jack looked very thin. He wasn't interested in playing anymore. We were told he had a large mass that was attached to his kidney. We chose to have it removed, we loved him so much. He had the surgery, 2 blood transfusions, lots of fluids, and many scans to see if his other kidney would step up to the plate and take over. After 4 days in the hospital he just couldn't take anymore. He left us today, with his favorite reindeer by his side.
Dr. Wehrenberg advised that Jack had one of the worst forms of Cancer, Lymphoma. No matter what we would have done for him he would not have survived. So not only did I have cancer, Leukemia Awareness, my little guy - Jack, at only 3 1/2 years old, didn't make it through cancer. The Dr. said it was very odd to have such a young one with this type. Jack was a trooper to last as long as he did.
-Lymphoma is found to be responsible for around 90 percent of blood cancers and account for about 33 percent of all tumors in cats. Moreover, it is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in cats. - PetMD -Cancer of the Lymphocytes in Cats.
We have had a rough year already, I spent 3 months in the hospital battleing Leukemia. I had a bone marrow transplant and am still recovering. I'm not working yet and have limited funds coming in. We did not expect to have one of our favorite fur-babies in the hospital. This FundMe request is to pay for his medical bills. It's hard enough paying for my medical bills from my illness, we just can't afford Jack's bills. Please help if you can.

- Jack walked into our life on 8/15/13 - literally. We pulled into our parking spot, opened the door, and there he was - the cutest dang kitty meowing to us about all he had been through just to get to US! He followed us right into the house as if he had lived there for years. I advised him that there are 3 cats already in the house and he would have to share! He quickly made it known that he was not the sharing kind.
He would allow you to get away with petting him for about a minute before he would lift his paw and open his mouth - telling you, "you have exactly 2 seconds to stop touching me or I will latch on!" Many a people walked out of the house bloody because they would pet him and not pay attention to him.
Jack's first Christmas with us he took a small fluffy reindeer off the tree and it became his buddy. He would throw it up in the air and then attack it. He would sleep with it, and he would leave it at the food bowls all the time! He loved that reindeer.
