Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to share what’s been going on with our sweet cat, Bela. Just a few days ago, Bela had to undergo an unexpected, emergency surgery that quite literally saved his life. It was one of the scariest moments we’ve experienced, and we’re beyond grateful that he pulled through and is now on the road to recovery.

Bela isn’t just a pet — he’s our baby, our little shadow, and a huge source of joy and comfort in our lives. Anyone who has met him knows what a gentle, loving soul he is. Watching him go through something so serious was heartbreaking, but seeing him start to heal has brought us so much relief and hope.

That said, the cost of his surgery and post-operative care has placed a significant financial strain on us. The bills have added up quickly, and while we would do anything for Bela without hesitation, we’re humbly asking for help from our friends, family, and community.

If you’re in a position to contribute, no matter how small, we would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar will go directly toward Bela’s medical expenses and recovery needs. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this with others means the world to us.

Thank you so much for reading, for caring, and for being part of Bela’s village. Your kindness means more than we can express. Bela’s brother, Boris, and all of us send our deepest thanks and love.

With gratitude,

Katie, Marvin, Bela & Boris ‍
