Help save Cupid - My Rainbow Baby in Fur

Hi, my name is Micaela, and I’m reaching out with a very heavy heart.

About 8 months ago, I was given the chance to take in a tiny orange kitten. We named him Cupid—because from the start, he’s been pure love. He’s sweet, snuggly, playful, and is everyones best friend. He goes on walks, cuddles close, and brings joy to everyone he meets. He’s not just a pet—he’s family.

But Cupid has a condition called Pica, which causes him to eat non-food items. We discovered this the hard way. At just 4 months old, he needed emergency surgery to remove a foreign object from his stomach. It was terrifying, but he pulled through.

Now, only 6 months later, we’re facing another crisis. Cupid has been vomiting, lethargic, and in and out of the vet’s office for over a week. We’re looking at another possible surgery, consultations with an internal medicine specialist, and long-term behavioral therapy to keep him safe.

As you can imagine, the vet bills have piled up—and are still growing. I’ve done everything I can to manage on my own, but I’m at a heartbreaking crossroads. If he needs another surgery I can’t afford, I may be forced to surrender him just so he can get care. But the truth is—I don’t think anyone else could love him or fight for him the way I do.

Cupid isn’t just my cat. He’s my rainbow baby in fur.

In the past five years, I’ve suffered multiple miscarriages and was diagnosed with endometriosis. This little soul came into my life when I needed hope the most. He’s my light. My reminder to keep going. And I’m not ready to lose him.

I’m asking for help—not just to cover Cupid’s current vet bills, but to help prepare for the costs of whatever comes next in his treatment. Every dollar, every share, every kind word—it all means the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. If you can help, in any way, we are endlessly grateful.

With love,

Micaela & Cupid
