Help Carolina with Buttercup's Vet Bills

Hello, friends (Animal and cat lovers UNITE!),

This is a call for help in our community for one of the most beautiful and strongest people we know, our friend, Carolina Laredo (Your Local Allston Scorpio). Carolina's beautiful baby kitty Buttercup has been diagnosed with cancer, and we are all grief-stricken with the news. Buttercup (Butters, Queen Buttercup) has lived a long life to age 14, being there for everything, and being Carolina's ride-or-die. Butters has supported Carolina in all aspects of life, including years of schooling, art school, love, loss, and all the good and bad between.

Let us not forget her beautiful sister Diglet (Diggles, Piglet, Diglet Chan, Diglet Puff), whose soul was set to rest just this past June. Carolina and her partner Cam have been hit with another obstacle, and we all know how expensive vet bills can be.

We have started this GoFundMe to try to alleviate some of the financial stress and burden on Carolina so she may enjoy the remainder of Buttercup’s days by her side. Between being full-time in school, teaching yoga/pilates, and starting her own business, Carolina needs all the help we can give. She is always showing up for her friends in many ways, it’s time we do the same! <3

Even if you can’t financially contribute, PLEASE share to your network so others can have the opportunity to help alleviate some stress and anxiety for our amazing friends. Cats and animals alike give us so much unconditional love and strength; we need to be more like them. Any help big - or small - is so incredibly appreciated.

If anyone has any amazing memories with Buttercup or Diglet, we encourage you to share them below, along with any photos.

Thank you all, time to go squeeze your pets in unconditional love.
