<div>Help <strong>Chili Minnelli </strong>Fight Back
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chili is a small dog with a big heart and a willful spirit—and right now, she’s proving just how big and willful. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yesterday, this sweet girl underwent a mastectomy removing two large masses and a good amount of breast tissue. She came through surgery like the fighter she is, and we are cautiously optimistic about what’s ahead. But the road to recovery is real, and the medical costs are significant—<strong>$1000 already paid, with another $4500 due very soon, and more care to come.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not someone who asks for help easily. But <strong>Chili doesn’t have a voice to ask for herself, so I’m using mine.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She doesn’t know about vet bills or diagnoses. She just knows she’s loved—and she gives that love back tenfold every single day. Any contribution, large or small, helps ensure she gets every fighting chance she deserves. And if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this with someone who might be is just as meaningful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for even reading this. It means more than I can say.
</div>
<div><br />

Cancer Schmancer: To Support Chili’s Journey Back to Health 

<ul>
<li>Hello friends. For those of you that know me, I don't have to tell you how much my cat Bradley, my new puppy Barnaby, and all my past 8 cats and dogs mean to me, as well as the dozens of clients I call family over the past 15 years of pet care. 
</li>
</ul><br />
<p>I adopted Bradley 9 years ago when he was 9. He's been a handful, as most of you know his horror stories. I should have given up on him two months after I got him, but I figured he'd had a hard 9 years before me, and I just get so attached to all of them. 
</p><br />
<p>Bradley is about 18. He's in excellent health but has this benign growth in his butt that started off last year the size of a golf ball and is now the size of a tennis ball. Honestly, I didn't think he'd outlive the necessity for this surgery, but he's always been my stubborn boy. 
</p><br />
<p>Because of his age when I got him, I couldn't get him insured. 
</p><br />
<p><b>Bradley's surgery cost $8,000. </b>
</p><br />
<p>I need and would appreciate any help, even if it's to spread the word to your family and friends. 
</p><br />
<p>It makes me sad to have to reach out for help. I feel like a bad daddy that I'm not able to do this on my own. 
</p><br />
<p>I'm so very grateful for any help you can give financially or in spreading the word. 
</p><br />
<p>UPDATE December 8th. Bradley is out of surgery and doing fine. He'll have a bit of recovery time. 
</p><br />
<p>UPDATE Bradley is home and recovering well. I'm good spirits purring all the time. I'm so happy he's home with me. We took a face to face nap today under the Christmas tree where his sprawling bed and blankets are nesting. 
</p><br />
<p>UPDATE: December 13th 2025
</p>
<p>Bradley is steadily recovering each day. He'll have his stitches out a week from Monday. I'm expecting the biopsy results this week. He's walking around and able to get up on the table using the chair for his meals. I
</p>
<p>take the soft cone off when I'm watching him. He's okay she become used to having it in when I have to leave.
</p><br /><br />
<p>Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 
</p>

Bradley is home and recuperating well.

<div>Many of Big Marv's followers and supporters are located abroad and cannot donate to his care through Venmo or CashApp, so we were previously asked to set up a gofundme link that allows for international donations. This gofundme is specifically for MARV'S ONGOING MEDICAL EXPENSES: like therapy, medications, dr visits, surgeries, specialists, etc. We continue to feel so blessed by the outpouring of love expressed for Marv and concern for his care. Because of all of you, Marv has been able to access the care he needs EVERY SINGLE TIME anything ever presents... for that, we can NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH !!! When we first set our eyes on Marv, we didn't think of how we would come up with every dollar, we just knew we needed to be his family. You ALL have made it possible for us to give him the absolute BEST EXISTENCE POSSIBLE while loving him from far and wide, across the world. He is the luckiest boy in the universe to know LOVE LIKE THIS!

Support Big Marv's Medical Journey

<div>BIG MARV has some BIG needs right now... as he is trying to overcome pneumonia. What started with congestion, is more complicated in his case, due to his limited movement. Unfortunately, even with all the ways we tried to prevent it from settling in his chest, it still became pneumonia. This little BIG guy is tough and we know he will be SPICY again, in no time. Many of you have asked how you can help. While we are shy about donations, we are continually grateful for the kindness and now understand that Marv's international fans/friends are not able to utilize Venmo or Cashapp. During a LIVE today at the hospital, it was brought to our attention that creating a gofundme allows more of you to send help to Marv and it is a kindness we so appreciate!! We cannot express enough how thankful we are for the ways our family feels the LOVE and SUPPORT!!! Marv has changed our lives in so many ways and runs our house. That little face can change everything with just a look. We never want to take for granted, the power of a 4 lbs special needs fur baby who can spread so much happiness. He has a very special purpose in this life. THANK YOU ALL FOR LOVING HIM THE WAY YOU DO!!!
