Katie Croatt, native of Saint Lucas and 2003 graduate of Turkey Valley High School, is facing the toughest battle of her nine lives — a fight against breast cancer. But if there’s one thing we know about her, it’s that she’s got the cat‑itude to claw her way through even the hardest days. 

Katie was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. In the coming months, she will undergo surgery as well as 20 weeks of chemo at MercyOne Cancer Center in Waterloo. Right now, she needs her pride — her friends, family, and community — to rally around her. Every donation helps cover treatment costs, ease the financial strain, and give Katie the space to focus on healing instead of bills.

Let’s help her land on her feet, whisker by whisker, paw by paw. Whether you give a little or a lot, your support will be fur‑ever appreciated. Together, we can make sure cancer doesn’t stand a chance against Katie’s strength, spirit, and the love of her community.

Please donate if you can, and share this page with your friends, family, and social networks — because no one fights alone, not even cool cats like Katie Croatt.
