Help Kitty Iggy Pop Fight Cancer

Donation protected

I spend my life trying to make a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need.  I have a long history in animal rescue, animal care, animal law enforcement,
AR activism and veganism.
I share my life and home with amazing rescue kitties:
My boys Max & Iggy Pop,  littermates are 13.5 yrs old.
Mia Zapata is 5 yrs old. My companions and family.
I lost my full time job as an Animal Control Officer in March of 2016, I am currently  working a temp dog walking job, which ends at the end of the year.
I am still searching for a new permanent position. 
In October I  found out both my senior boys are sick.
Max has severe hyperthyroid, kidney and liver issues.
Iggy Pop has a Mast Cell Tumor in his Spleen and kidney issues.
The only treatment for Iggy's cancer is surgery.
He needs a Spelectomy. Which will cost between $1700-$2400(according to the vet estimate).
Iggy's costs so far have been $1200 for his diagnostic tests, including: senior blood panel, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound and needle biopsy.
Max's costs so far have been $600 for his diagnostic tests and medication, including: 2 senior blood panels and Tapazole.
And they are worth every penny.
I don't normally ask for help, and I find myself in a position of needing to ask. Without a permanent job (I am still searching) and the credit card debt adding up extremely quickly, I am in need of some financial help to pay for Iggy's diagnostic tests and his Splenectomy surgery.
I was recently approved for a Care Credit card with at $2,800 credit limit and a promotional 0% interest, if paid back within 6 months.
Iggy is scheduled for surgery with an amazing Veterinarian, Dr. Jessica Hunter at SF Pet Hospital in SF this Thursday, November 10th. 
My birthday is Nov 9th and the best birthday gifts I could receive this year would be for Iggy Pop to have a quick and easy surgery and recovery. With the end result of him being cancer free to live many more years with Max, Mia and myself.
I would be so grateful to my friends and others would help us on our journey through this stressful and expensive ordeal.
No amount too small, every penny will help and go towards veterinary costs.
