<div>Hi everyone, my name is Nikki, and I’m fundraising for my beloved 3.5 year old cat, <strong>Maverick</strong>. He’s my very first cat adopted from San Diego Humane Society — my heart, my best friend, and the one who started my entire cat rescue journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past few weeks, Maverick suddenly began losing weight rapidly. He became dehydrated, weak, and stopped eating. Saturday night on 10/4/2025, I rushed him to the ER after peeing bright red blood, his bloodwork showed severe inflammation (white blood cells at 29K), fever of 103.3F, dehydration, and abnormal kidney sizes — one enlarged encapsulated kidney, one small kidney.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The emergency vet and my primary vet both strongly suspect <strong>renal lymphoma</strong>. Maverick is currently on <strong>antibiotics, steroids, and fluids</strong>, and I’ve managed to get him eating again with careful hydration and supportive care. But he needs a <strong>full abdominal ultrasound, oncology consultation</strong>, and likely <strong>biopsy and advanced testing</strong> to confirm what’s happening — plus <strong>treatment (chemo and possibly radiation)</strong> to give him a fighting chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite everything, he’s still fighting — he’s now eating again, drinking, and following me around. He wants to live and I cannot imagine my life without him!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What These Funds Will Cover </strong>
</div>
<div>Every dollar will go directly towards Maverick’s medical care to give him a real fighting chance:
</div>
<ul>
<li>$255 Oncology consultation
</li>
<li>$390-$635 Abdominal ultrasound (with full report)
</li>
<li>$800-$1500 Diagnostic testing (biopsy, cultures, additional bloodwork)
</li>
<li>$1,000 Additional fluids, supportive care, recheck exam fees
</li>
<li>$1,000+ Medications and treatment (antibiotics, steroids, and to jump start his first round of cancer treatment)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A quick brief ultrasound was done today (10/7/2025) by our primary vet, but it only gave a small glimpse — he still needs a <strong>full abdominal ultrasound with fine needle aspiration </strong>to move forward with treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount helps — even $5 — and sharing our GoFundMe story means the world to us. Everything raised will go directly to Maverick’s medical care, and I’ll post updates every step of the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Maverick’s Story ‍</strong>
</div>
<div>Maverick came into my life after my beloved German shepherd, Max, crossed the rainbow bridge. I adopted Maverick when he was 8 weeks old from San Diego Humane Society in May of 2022, and he’s been my companion through everything since, even through a cross-country move and multiple in-state moves. He’s gentle, affectionate, and always greets me at the door. Seeing him fight so hard right now breaks my heart — but I know he still has so much life and love left to give. He's only 3.5 years old and when I adopted Maverick, I promised to give him a long 20+ years of commitment, through thick-and-thin, through it all, I promised to stand by his side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can donate or share his story, it truly means the world to us. Every little bit helps give Maverick the chance he deserves to live a long and happy life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU!!!
</div>
<div>Maverick &amp; Nikki ❤️
