Help Me & Mona Face This Next Chapter

After a few months of vet visits and tests, I’ve received the unfortunate news that Mona has cancer.

We’ve been investigating a bump on her nose, and while she’s still her spunky, affectionate self, we’re now facing a new journey. One filled with more tests, procedures, and the unknown. We’re doing everything we can to get better answers and build a plan of attack.

Mona and I have been together since she was 4 months old. She’s just about to turn 7, and I truly didn’t imagine we’d be facing something like this so early in our lives together.

You probably know her big brother Atlas. Or at least know of him. These two are my family. They’ve been with me through hard days, and seen every version of myself. They’ve met many of you in person, or through photos, stories, or Instagram posts. If you know me, you know them.

Right now, we don’t fully know what we’re up against, but we do know that every phase of this process — diagnostics, imaging, surgery, treatment — will be a huge financial cost.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe for Mona so that we can face this next chapter together, with the community who’s loved her (and Atlas) from near and far.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of our little family’s journey.

Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or kind words — means the world.

With love,

Kate, Mona & Atlas
