Mel has a tumor the size of 2 quarters on her side. I do not currently have the funds to fully cover her surgery to remove the tumor. I am hoping to get the operation for her sooner rather than later as rats have shorter lifespans and she is already middle-aged, and a big operation like this could go wrong if it's put off until she is old in age.

• Tumor removal + post-op care: ~$400

• Spay (to prevent future tumors): ~$200

• Receipts will be provided for full transparency.

Any amount helps more than you know. Thank you so much for reading, sharing, or donating. Mel is full of life and still has so much love (and kisses) left to give.
