Early on November 1st, Ryan awoke to find Pizza lying on couch upset. When he wouldn't purr to his chin scratches, Ryan knew something was wrong. He discovered the little guy was bleeding and they immediately rushed to the emergency vet.


A few things about Ryan:

1. Pizza is his best friend.  His feline son.  His Horcrux.  He has been his pet parent since Pizza was just 2 days old.  He would do anything for him.  


2. Ryan is one of the kindest people you will ever meet.  He's more willing to help someone else than to help himself.  He is an advocate for those less fortunate than he and an ally to those who are even remotely different than he is.  He is a veteran.  He's a tireless champion for so many people and never asks for a thing in return.


3. He loves animals.  His heart breaks when an animal is in need, which has led to numerous fosters over the years.  Although he has 3 cats of his own, the most he has had under his roof at the same time was 9.  He has found furrever homes for a lot of kittens and adult cats that truly needed his help and he keeps in touch with their owners visiting many of them often.


4. He has a really hard time asking for help.  Which is why we're running this campaign for him.  He needs our help.  

Once at the vet, the costs to save Pizza's life started accumulating immediately.  He had diaphragm surgery that day and leg surgery the next day.  Pizza has always been a very strong, big guy but he suddenly looked so small and helpless, which of course was heart wrenching for Ryan.

He needs us.  Anything will help.  I can't think of a more giving, kind and deserving person to send a few bucks to.
