Help save our beloved Cookie as she fights for life
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
Our beloved cat, Cookie, is in the fight of her life—and we need your help.
Cookie suddenly lost the ability to use her back legs. She was breathing rapidly and began panting. It was horrific. We immediately rushed her to the emergency vet, where we received the heartbreaking news: she has a saddle thrombus, a severe and painful blood clot that cuts off circulation to her hind limbs. She also went into heart failure. It’s a life-threatening condition that requires immediate and ongoing intensive care, testing, and medication.
Cookie is more than just a pet—she’s a cherished member of our family. Her gentle purrs, curious eyes, and sweet personality have brought us so much comfort and love over the years. Watching her suffer is agonizing.
The cost of Cookie’s hospitalization, diagnostics (including echocardiograms and bloodwork), pain management, blood thinners, and future treatments is overwhelming—estimated to reach several thousand dollars. As much as we want to give her every chance at survival and quality of life, we simply can't do it alone.
We’re asking for help from our community—friends, family, animal lovers—to support Cookie’s recovery. Every dollar brings us closer to giving her the care she desperately needs.
Your donation will go directly toward:
-Emergency hospitalization and monitoring
-Medications to dissolve the clot and manage pain
-Testing to identify underlying heart disease & monitoring blood clots
-Ongoing treatments and follow-up care
-Prescription food to prevent Kidney Disease from the medications
Cookie is a fighter, and we believe she deserves this chance. If you’re able to donate, we are eternally grateful. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Every share can help us reach someone who can give!
Thank you for reading and for supporting Cookie in her time of need.
With gratitude,
Andres & Audrey
***UPDATE***

Cookie and the family thank you all who have spread awareness and have donated towards her campaign!!! Although we still face an uphill battle with ongoing treatment, spirits are high as Cookie's condition has improved. She is still regaining function to her back legs however there has been solid improvement to her right leg. The back left leg is still a work in progress but Cookie is a fighter. She continues to try and be active and won't let her setback slow her down. Since being discharged, she is progressively regaining the personality we love. Still dealing with pain and multiple medications throughout the day, she continues to defy the odds and we truly believe in overcoming this devastating setback. We appreciate any and all help and continue to believe in the hope that Cookie can be a part of our family as long as possible.
