Hello friends, family, and cat-loving strangers.

My name is Elly, and I am reaching out on behalf of my beloved cat, KitKat. I am asking for your support as she begins her fight against cancer.

Around the end of June, we received news that KitKat has a 2-inch tumor in her intestinal tract. This news was heartbreaking, and as you can imagine, it has been a lot to process. Medical bills have been piling up as we try to explore her options (ultrasounds and steroid injections aren't cheap!). Currently, we are gearing up for exploratory surgery and looking at chemotherapy.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly toward covering surgery, treatment, and any other medical care needed to give KitKat a fighting chance to beat this. Every little bit helps—whether it’s a donation, simply sharing this page with others, or just keeping our girl in your thoughts and prayers.

KitKat is my baby—she is 9 years old and has been through ups and downs. She would not move from my side last year when I had surgery and then was glued to me again when I had the flu a few months later. She's offered me comfort, joy, and unending love, and now it's my turn to be there for her.

Your generosity means the world to us and to KitKat as we begin a battle to kick cancer's butt.

Thank you so much for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult time.
