Help Lily Recover From a Life-Threatening Illness

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my beloved cat, Lily. I adopted her nearly 10 years ago when she was 3.5 years old, after she was abandoned at the animal hospital where I worked. I never imagined myself as a cat person but Lily and I formed an instant bond, and she quickly stole a piece of my heart.

From the beginning, she’s been the sweetest, most affectionate, and social companion. She loves constant snuggles, brightens every day with her presence, and has truly become part of our family. When my husband met her for the first time, he was just as smitten—Lily had him wrapped around her paw from day one. She’s especially close with our two dogs, Pepper and Alex, forming an inseparable trio.


What Happened

Very suddenly, Lily became gravely ill. She was diagnosed with a gallbladder infection that rapidly worsened, requiring immediate hospitalization, extensive testing, and care from multiple specialists. Each step revealed new complications, and what began as a single issue quickly snowballed into a series of urgent medical interventions.


The Financial Strain

Unfortunately, Lily does not have pet insurance, and the cost of her care has become overwhelming. Between emergency visits, diagnostics, specialist consultations, and hospitalization, the bills have added up far beyond what I ever anticipated. We’ve done everything we can to give her the best chance at recovery, but we’re now facing a serious financial burden.


How You Can Help

If you’re able, please consider donating to help us continue Lily’s care. Every contribution—no matter the size—goes directly toward her veterinary bills and treatment. And if you’re not in a position to give, simply sharing this page would mean the world to us.

Lily has given me so much over the past decade. I just want to give her the chance to heal and live out the rest of her life surrounded by love, her dog buddies, and endless snuggles.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Brianna and Josh
