Hello everyone, I’m Nannan, a 3 year old little cat. I am an emotional support cat, and my name means “most beloved daughter” in Mandarin. My human given me a warm home and so much love, but I t have either IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) or even cancer right now. I really need your help.

Something’s been really wrong with my body recently, and I feel so awful… My tummy hurts so bad, like it’s being squeezed by something, and every time I go to the litter box, there’s blood in my poop. It’s scary and dark red, and I don’t know what’s happening. Sometimes I suddenly throw up, and even I get scared by what comes out. I try to hide it because I don’t want my human to worry, so I quietly crouch in the corner where she can’t see me in pain. The only thing I can do to help myself is lick the spots that hurt, but no matter how much I lick, the pain just won’t go away.

Eventually, my human found out. It was too obvious. I started losing weight, stopped playing with her, and even began vomiting blood. My human has taken me to so many doctors. They’ve done different physical exams, X-rays, blood tests, and ultrasounds. The doctors said my intestinal walls have thickened, and they suspect it could be either cancer or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). But they can’t be sure without a biopsy, which is the next step to find out the cause. They say it’s unusual for a cat as young as me to have such serious symptoms, and time is running out to figure out what’s wrong. But my human is still paying off her student loans, and she’s already spent so much money on my treatments. She just can’t afford the biopsy and further treatment right now.

I’m so tired now that even jumping onto the couch feels like a huge effort. I used to love curling up on the couch with my human, basking in the sunlight together, but now I can only hide in the corner, my tummy hurting so much that I can’t even sleep. My human always gently strokes my head and tells me everything will be okay, but I know that without help, I might not make it…

So, I’m here, typing these words with my little paws, asking for your help, kind humans. Any little bit, even just sharing this with more people, will bring me and my human closer to hope. I don’t want to leave her. Your kindness could be what saves me and helps me become that playful, loving little cat again.

Thank you. Please, please help me. I really want to get better…
