Hi friends...

My name is Morgan, and my heart and soul were shattered last month when I took my baby AUSTIN to the ER and received life changing news..

One of the few words that nohuman being ever wants to hear in their life- completely took my breath away when the Vet told me that my Best Friend, has Cancer.

I truly do not have the words to describe or express my feelings or current situation..

Austin is a 10 year old F3 hybrid Savannah cat, and he changed my world the moment he came into my life when he was just 3 months old..

I know this dude better than myself and am very intuitive when it comes to his health.

Less than 3 months ago I noticed a change and I knew in my heart something was wrong, but I was NEVER prepared for this.

On May 12, 2022 Austin was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma. He had developed a small Ulcer on his tongue and started drooling excessively and I took him to a local vet to be treated with antibiotics and they assumed it had to do with dental disease and needing extractions.

But 4 weeks later of hoping and praying it would heal and that it was something treatable..

The Ulcer slowly began spreading, and on that day I just knew in my heart that my life was going to change.

After waiting almost 6 hours at the emergency hospital for testing and a diagnosis, I was told I need to be prepared for the worst...

Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the mouth has a devistating survival rate of 10% and that would include xrays and ct scans and a consultation with an Oncologist.

the procedures would include removing the tongue and lower jaw, along with Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy.. And even if that was successful, the average life expectancy is only 14 months...

As my head collapsed into my knees the Vet explained the financial aspect of such medical support being upwards of $10,000. she also told me that we need to of course take into account his quality of life if we decided to start that journey..

I am already going through a difficult transition in my life and having to rebuild after losing everything, all I had left was my kitty.

Austin has been by my side and emotionally supported me while I grew into the women I am today.

Through all the ups and downs and the good and the bad, I always had Kitty..

And now after finally adjusting to this next chapter of my life, unfortunately he won't be here to help me through it.

A devastating thought to say the least, and I have not been able to cope with the feeling that one day (sooner than I am ready to accept) I am going to have to say goodbye to him.

I have tried everything to be able to afford the medical support he needs, but i have been able to at least help keep him comfortable and thankfully he is thriving, for now, but I have run out of options and feel completely helpless.

I never thought I would ever have/need to ask others for help, but I am not ready to let him go without knowing for sure that there is absolutely zero chance of saving him.

Right now Austin has medicine to keep him from being in pain and reduce inflammation to try to slow the progression of the Cancer spreading.

He needs Xrays and a possible biopsy to confirm 100% that he has no chance of fighting this, but our TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!

It hurts my soul to see him in his current state and I can't help from breaking down everyday and I can not wait any longer.

I need all the help and love and positive vibrations possible for him.

I know his last day is going to change my life, once again, and I am being forced to accept that.

When the day does come I will want to cremate him and have some sort of memorial for him (even if I am the only one attending) because I am not the only person that he has helped through difficult times in his short beautiful life.

I am having my own personal health issues and I am putting them to the side to sacrifice my own problems so I can have/spend as much time as I can while he is still here with me.

I will forever be grateful for ANY love and/or support to help us get through this devastating time in our lives.

Kitty will be 11 years old next Friday June 17th.

I will forever be thankful of the amazing love and companionship and pure happiness Austin has given me the last 11 years.

Everyday we are still here breathing and have the chance to experience Unconditional love truly is a gift.

I will never forget my beautiful little Bubs

Thank you

Morgan
