Hi everyone, we’re Kelsey and Ana. We never thought we’d be writing something like this, but we’re out of options and truly desperate for help.

Kelsey got Lennox when he was just three months old. He’s been her best friend ever since, through every move, every challenge, and every bit of life in between. When Ana met Kelsey, Lennox was two years old, and he’s the cat that made Ana fall in love with cats for the first time. He’s gentle, funny, expressive, and full of personality, the kind of cat who fills the whole house with warmth just by being there.

Lennox is only three years old, and he’s been fighting for his life for weeks now. It all started at the end of September when one of our other cats came down with an upper respiratory infection. Lennox caught it too, but while the others recovered, he just never did.

Since then, it’s been a painful cycle, emergency vet visits, hospital stays, medications, fluids, and tests. Every time he comes home, he seems to get a little better, but then declines again. We’ve already spent around $3,000 trying to save him, and now his condition has become critical.

His most recent bloodwork showed that his white blood cell count is at 0 (normal is 7,000–20,000), and his platelets are dropping. The vet said she’s never seen numbers that low. They believe it could be a severe infection like Bartonella, an autoimmune issue, or something affecting his bone marrow, but we won’t know for sure until more testing and imaging can be done.

Right now, Lennox is back at the emergency vet, being transferred to internal medicine. He’s been vomiting, has diarrhea, and can barely eat or drink. Seeing him so weak and uncomfortable has been devastating.

Kelsey works full-time, and Ana is in grad school, and we’ve exhausted every bit of savings and credit trying to keep up with his care. We’ve maxed out cards, CareCredit, and done everything we can on our own, but we can’t cover more treatment without help.

The vet says Lennox needs more time in the hospital to stabilize and continue testing, and this may be his only chance to recover.

If you can donate, even a few dollars, it will go directly toward his care, hospitalization, and treatment. Every single bit helps, and we can’t express how much it means to us.

Attached is the current estimate from the emergency vet.

Thank you for taking the time to read, donate, or share this. We love Lennox more than anything, and we just want to give him the chance to get better.
