A.L.

This is Nina, my first pet who has changed my life.

 She was neglected for the first 7 years of her life to the point where her brother died and she was left alone.

I was told by the person I adopted her from that she was perfectly healthy.

But it turns out, she needs dozens of tests and diagnostic procedures.

She has dental disease and a few intestinal issues and needs lots of testing to find out what's wrong and surgery for her teeth.

She's already super tiny and I am working on getting her to gain weight, but as of now, she is losing weight and we don't know why.

I did not know I was adopting a special needs cat, but I cannot afford to pay for her surgery or tests because I am a student struggling with only unemployment insurance coming in.

But I refuse to give up on my little girl who I love more than anything. 

So I am asking you all to 

please,

give what you can to help Nina get healthy, gain weight, and get taken care of.

Because I am alone in taking care of her without much help.

Despite being underweight and often having an upset stomach, Nina is getting more comfortable in her new home with me and she is the sweetest girl despite having no love for most of her life from people. She loves asking for pets and rolling around getting belly rubs. She has changed my life and is everything to me.

Thank you for reading.

What little you can give is enough.

Nina and I appreciate any cent you can spare.

Please share to whoever you can.

Her dental surgery will cost $1200 to make sure her teeth don't get bad and hurt her.

Her intestinal ultrasound will cost $530.

Her pancreatitis test will cost $250

And her other tests to see if she has FIV, FIP, etc. will also be more.

So far I have paid $350 in unanticipated vet bills.

But I am struggling to save for the remaining costs.

She needs to have the dental surgery in 6 months, and the ultrasound in one month.

Everything you give will go towards these bills.
