Help Navi Get the Amputation Surgery She Needs!

Dear Friends and Animal Lovers,

Allow me to introduce you to a true family member and the heart of our home, Navi. Navi isn't just a cat; she's an integral part of our lives, a constant source of love, comfort, and joy. Her story began when she was rescued in Paitilla, Panama, and since then, she has been by our side through thick and thin. She's traveled with us to Boston during my grad school years, and her presence has been a soothing balm during the highs and lows of life.

When Aura was pregnant with our son Jet, Navi's nurturing instincts shone through. She became our grounding element, offering unwavering support when we needed it most. Even before Jet was born, Navi displayed her protective nature, and her bond with Jet has been nothing short of magical. Jet adores playing with her, and she tolerates his affectionate belly rubs with grace, even when mildly annoyed. Navi is pure love personified.

A week ago, our world took an unexpected turn. Navi's limping, initially dismissed as a minor ailment, worsened day by day. An emergency vet visit and an X-ray revealed the devastating truth: Navi has an aggressive cancer on her left tibia bone. The eerie coincidence lies in the fact that Jet also faced a challenge with his left tibia bone, but his successful surgery and recovery have filled us with gratitude. However, Navi's situation is dire, and she urgently requires an amputation to alleviate her pain and extend her time with us.

We've been faced with the suggestion to put Navi down, but we firmly believe in her spirit. At only 10 years old, she's far too young to give up on. We're determined to fight for her and give her the chance she deserves. The key lies in the amputation surgery – a critical step to prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of her body and to alleviate her pain. We want to provide her with the second chance she so rightfully deserves.

For those who have had the pleasure of meeting Navi, you'll remember how social and loving she is. She has a unique ability to jump onto your lap and start purring immediately, becoming a source of unconditional calm to any stranger.

Surgery costs in the US are exorbitant, and our financial situation isn't one that allows us to cover the expenses without strain. This is where our cherished community comes in. To those who know Navi, who have witnessed her unconditional love and the impact she's had on our lives, we humbly ask for your helping hand.

Your support, no matter the size, will directly contribute to Navi's amputation surgery and post-operative care. Let's rally together to give Navi the quality of life she so richly deserves in her remaining years.

As we embark on this journey, we'll be sharing updates on Navi's progress and recovery. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us and Navi. Thank you for considering our plea for help.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Aura, Duly, Jet, Navi and Ajna
