Less than a year after losing my oldest cat, Arthur, to an aggressive cancer, a second cat, Cheech, is in need of surgery to remove a possibly malignant and very scary tumor from behind his elbow.

I feel like a Grade A jerk having to do this again, having to beg for money to save one of my babies, but they are exactly that and as of November 1st I'll be unemployed, having been let go after 12 years of loyal employment.

The goal is set at 2k as the high side of the surgery sits around 1900.00.
