Help Save Iris: Emergency Surgery for My Sweet Cat

Hi everyone,

My name is Casondra Melendez, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my beloved cat, Iris.

Iris has been part of my life for 10 years, and she’s not just a pet — she’s family. She’s brought joy, comfort, and love into my world in ways I never imagined possible.

Recently, Iris was diagnosed with a mass on her intestine. After several vet visits and diagnostic tests, we’ve been told that she needs urgent surgery to remove the mass and give her a real chance at recovery. The cost of the surgery is estimated to be between $6,400 and $8,000, not including the follow-up care and medications she may need.

I want to give Iris the best chance to live a healthy, happy life, but the cost is overwhelming, and I simply can’t cover it all on my own. That’s why I’m humbly asking for your support. Whether it’s $5 or just sharing this page, every bit helps us move closer to saving Iris.

She’s a fighter, and with your help, she can get through this.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With gratitude,

Casondra & Iris
