Help Loki Live Comfortably with Cancer
Donation protected
Hey friends and family, and maybe the occasional benevolent stranger:
This cat here is the love of my life. He has traveled across the country and back with me, like a champ. He has supported me through some really difficult things and he has constantly been the warmest, sweetest, cuddliest cat. I don't know what I'm going to do without him, and I'm trying not to think about it. Right now, I'm trying to make him as absolutely comfortable as possible in the time he has left.
A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with an inoperable and aggressive cancer in his mouth. I have changed his diet, and we have started the daily dance of liquid steroid administration (which supposedly taste like chicken), to helping with the swelling and pain. There will likely be more expenses, but this GoFundMe is intended to cover the cost of monthly medication, a higher than normal density of vet visits, and new pet food:
* $40/month for medication = $200
* $20/month for new food = $100
* Approximately $50/vet visit (presuming no blood work needed), likely one every three weeks = $350
* Estimated $50 for the fees that GoFundMe will take to host this campaign
* Total: $700
The intention of this is to cover us through May, when I will no longer be a student and able to work full-time again. If you know me, you know this has been a hard six months: I moved back from Illinois, totaled my car, found out a family member was ill, and within the last few weeks, lost my grandfather. In addition to my normal expenses, I am in the process of applying to grad school, which is not cheap, and the fees for which I've put on my credit cards. I am terrified with Loki's expenses that I am going to reach a point where things are actually unsustainable. I am in the process of applying for another part-time job and am trying to do everything I can to make this upcoming semester work, but it's been difficult.
Any support you can give, no matter the size of the donation, is hugely impactful and deeply appreciated. It feels difficult to make this ask, but I've reached a point where it feels necessary, and my cat's well-being is my top priority.
Loki and I can't thank you enough for your support! He is meowing his thanks from the windowsill, happily watching the chickens and comfy on his favorite pillow.
