Nannou has been my entire heart for over a decade. She came into my life at a time when I was grieving, sticking out her paw to catch my sweater at the shelter, and chose me. Her silly, intelligent personality, and deep affection have brought me so much comfort— loving to be hugged and held, pressing her little body into me as if she could melt right into my arms. Waking up daily to snuggles with Nannou are some of my most cherished moments, and her presence has been a constant source of love and comfort.

Sadly, Nannou's health has declined dramatically in the last week. After several vet visits, we discovered a gastric mass and learned that she can be made comfortable for a few more days, but soon I will have to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye.

The costs of her medical exams, diagnostic imaging, and medications have added up quickly. I want to give Nannou the peaceful passing she deserves, at home where she feels safe and loved, rather than in a cold vet office. At-home euthanasia and cremation services are also expensive, but I want to honor her in the most loving gentle way possible.

Nannou will also be deeply missed by her companion, Hades. Having the euthanasia at home will help Hades understand the loss and say goodbye in a familiar, loving environment.

I am reaching out for help to cover these costs so that Nannou can spend her final few days surrounded by comfort and dignity. Any support you can offer would mean the world to us, and would help me give back to the cat who has given me so much love over the years.

if anyone would like transparency and photos of her bills I will gladly share. The cost of euthanasia alone is $930 which covers vet travel , time, sedation, and aftercare. Any additional money will go towards her diagnostic scans, exams , bloodwork, IV fluids and medicines, which have racked up very quickly, her memorial, and a maybe bag of crunchies for Hades as they grieve their best friend ❤️
