My name is Nathan. I'm 33 years old and live with multiple disabilities. I've been in a wheelchair for 13 years full-time. I have severe gastroparesis and survive off a feeding tube and a central line implanted in my chest. I also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, spinal cord damage, and am on the autism spectrum. I live alone. I spend my days connected to a pump and only get out twice a week to a support group.

My beloved support pet, Sammie(pictured), passed away on September 5, 2025. She fought cancer until the end. I have been lost without her. Sammie was my entire world. The cat I adopt will recieve the same treatment! I have no family and few friends so I cherish animals. I am finally ready to adopt a new cat. That's where I need some help. My Christmas wish is to bring one home by Christmas. Anything you can give is so appreciated, as well as any sharing of this GoFundMe. There are a bunch of cats at our local shelters, and I would love to bring one home for their forever home with me. I also could use help with the initial costs of the cat's needs. Thank you, many blessings to you.
