If you know Laurie Vanian, you know how deeply she loves her cats. She

would give up anything rather than see her cats go without. They are not

just pets, they are her family and helped her get through some dark times.

If you know Laurie, you also know of Merlin: a big cat with an even bigger

personality. Merlin has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, a form of

cancer.

As many pet owners know, veterinary costs have risen dramatically in recent

years. Despite having pet insurance, Laurie has quickly reached the limit, leaving significant costs that must now be paid out of pocket. The ongoing treatment, tests, and specialist care needed to give Merlin a real chance are financially overwhelming.

It is heartbreaking watching her struggle with Merlin’s illness, while knowing

that finances may limit his chance of survival.

Laurie has always been there for others. Now she needs our help.

If you can donate, even the smallest amount will help keep Merlin’s

treatment going. If you can’t, please share this page.

Let’s come together and give Merlin a fighting chance.
