URGENT UPDATE – CLEO HAS LYMPHOMA
Donation protected
We just got the results from Cleo’s ultrasound, and it’s the news we were dreading—she has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
We now need to get her to an oncologist as soon as possible so she can begin chemotherapy. Every day counts. Without treatment, we could lose her.
Right now, we’re not even halfway to our goal, and we can’t afford to move forward without your help. Please, I’m begging—don’t let money be the reason we can’t save Cleo. Our family is devastated. We’re taking this one hour at a time, trying to stay strong for her.
If you’re able to donate, thank you. If you’ve already donated, we’re so incredibly grateful. Please keep sharing this page so we can reach more people—your support truly means everything.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us and for giving Cleo a chance.

We’re currently at Westlake Animal Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner, with Cleo. She’s been battling diarrhea for over 3 weeks, and things have taken a turn—she’s now vomiting and extremely lethargic.
She was taken to the vet last week and sent home with medication, but her condition has only worsened. We knew something wasn’t right and rushed her to the vet. She's now undergoing tests at Westlake to try and figure out what’s going on.
We’ve just received an estimate of $3,749.51 for diagnostics and treatment. Depending on what the results show, Cleo may need surgery, and we want to be ready to act fast if necessary.
Cleo was rescued through Austin Lost and Found Pets (ALFP) nearly two years ago after being abandoned in North Austin. We later found out her previous owner kept her in a car because she wasn’t allowed in the apartment. Despite everything she’s endured, Cleo has remained incredibly sweet and resilient.
My older son has become her main caregiver and has given her the love and stability she never had. He had to miss work to get her the care she needs. He’s doing everything he can, but this emergency vet bill is more than we can take on alone.
We’ve supported many in this community before, and we’re asking for a little support back to help Cleo get the care she urgently needs. Every donation helps—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
