<div>On Monday July 21st I brought Ra to the emergency vet.
</div>
<div>He was extremely lethargic, I remember saying “It feels like I am carrying a dying old man, he’s not okay.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ra turned 10 years old this year. He’s not an old man yet. He’s still a playful, affectionate, curious, cuddly cat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But after 4 days of him hiding and isolating I knew something was wrong.
</div>
<div>I found vomit with blood in it.
</div>
<div>He wasn’t coming out to eat or drink.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon arriving at Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists, we found out Ra was severely anemic and dehydrated with a fever that carried on for days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ra received 2 emergency blood transfusions that saved his life. His red blood cell count was extremely low due to a bleeding mass in his stomach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ra spent 3 nights at the hospital.
</div>
<div>Day 1 : 1st blood transfusion
</div>
<div>Day 2 : biopsy
</div>
<div>Day 3 : 2ed blood transfusion
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wasn’t sure I was going to get to bring my baby home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By day 3 his condition became stable and his red blood cell count went up to 29% (it was 14% when I brought him in) 30% is when it’s considered ‘normal range’ but the doctors were satisfied with his improvement so after 3 of the most terrifying days of my life, I got to bring Ra home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first week he needed round the clock care, receiving 8 doses of medication throughout a 24 hour cycle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 7 days, the biopsy results were in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Small Cell Gastrointestinal Lymphoma-
</div>
<div>without treatment, 6 month life expectancy
</div>
<div>with treatment, potentially 2+ years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His vet bills are already over $10,500 spread across three credit cards. And this is just the beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ra has started Chemotherapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the rest of his life he will need this treatment as well as recurring blood tests every 7 weeks to make sure he’s staying stable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve never been great at asking for help.
</div>
<div>But this time, it’s not for me, it’s for Ra.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This cat has saved my life more times than I can explain. He’s my guardian angel, my emotional support, my best friend. If you’ve ever met Ra, you know he’s different. He’s not just a pet—he’s family. He’s truly a gift sent from God. My adventure Cat-Dog.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it’s my turn to try and save him. I fear this burden is too much for me to carry alone, so I reach out to my community for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re in a place to help, even just $20, please consider donating to support medical expenses.
</div>
<div>Each dollar moves us one step closer to giving life a chance. And if you can’t donate, just sharing this would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ra has so many more adventures left in this lifetime. It’s not his time yet. Please help me give Ra a fighting chance.
</div>
