Everyone who has met Cici knows her to be a loving, joyful, and curious cat. She loves purring, getting pets, rubbing her soft and fluffy head on people, and dazzling all who meet her with her unique puzzle-piece face and emerald eyes.

Unfortunately, curiosity got the best of Cici when she swallowed a foot-long string and had to be rushed to emergency surgery. The vet bills are considerable since Cici did not have insurance (lesson learned for sure!).

*URGENT UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 5* Cici has been rushed to the emergency vet due to an infection and is now getting a second surgery totaling $10,000.

Erica was managing the bills but this second surgery has become financially overwhelming. We wanted to ask friends, family, and anyone else to help in any way possible, either through a small donation or by resharing this post.

Thank you so much ❤️

Eirene, Erica's sister
