Hi, my name is Kirstan, and me and my partner are trying to bring our baby boy Venom home. We already paid everything we could upfront, and we are still on a promise-to-pay for the rest. We still have to pay for his cremation and his urn so we can bring him home the right way, and hopefully we can add a keepsake for each mom and dad, but that is only if we are able to get the rest covered and see what we have left, if any. We simply cannot afford the remaining cost on our own.

Venom was born July 11th, 2024. I took him and his four siblings in and bottle-fed them myself. He was a foster at first, and nobody wanted him because he was a black cat. But I fell in love with him, and he became my baby from day one. He was meant to stay with us.

He slept with me every night. He waited for me at the top of the stairs when I got off dialysis. He always wanted pets, belly rubs, treats, cuddles, and kisses — and if someone else got love, he had to get his too. He let me hold him however I needed. He was our baby.

Now the house feels wrong. The stairs feel empty. Our arms feel empty.

We are hurting, and we just want to bring him home and honor him.

I am also putting together merchandise in honor of Venom — including buttons, keychains, mugs, and shirts.

Please consider donating, sharing, or purchasing to help us bring him home.

Anything left over or extra made will go toward keepsakes for Venom, and then toward exams for our other babies so we can prevent anything like this from ever happening again. This happened too fast to catch and cost too much to come up with in just a couple of hours.

Thank you for helping us bring our baby boy home.
