Hey friends, I’m Maddy — and my sweet friend Katylyn has always been like a big sister to me. In an awful turn of events, her beloved cat Hershey was suddenly and brutally attacked and is now facing serious injuries. Hershey is her whole world — her girl — and she’s about to turn 10 years old.

I’m putting this together to help Katylyn cover the unexpected (and costly) emergency vet expenses so Hershey can get the care she needs to recover. If you know Katylyn, you know how deeply she loves her animals and how much this is breaking her heart.

Any amount you can give — big or small — would mean the world right now. Your kindness will help ease a huge burden and give Hershey a fighting chance.

Below, I’ve also included what happened in Katylyn’s own words.

Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support. ❤️

“Attacked. By a very large dog. Hershey will require hospitalization and extensive care for her wounds—they’re thinking broken leg, and her skin was entirely ripped around her rectum. They don’t know for sure because she’s in so much pain that not even methadone is helping her.

I’m losing it. If you know me, you know I love my girl, Hershey. I love animals in general so deeply. Hershey will be 10 in 10 days. Prayers, please. I know my Papa loves His creation and loves my Hershey.

Thank you in advance.”
