Please help give our sweet kitten Mink a change to beat Cancer!
Hi everyone! My name is Isabel and I am currently fundraising to help pay for my cat’s cancer treatment. My cat Mink is four years old and recently got diagnosed with Feline Injection Site Sarcoma, which is a rare and locally aggressive form of cancer. We got the diagnosis about 4 weeks ago and have been going to vet appointments weekly to get biopsies, bloodwork, x-rays, and any other medical care she needs. Unfortunately, with the location and size of her tumor, the vet has recommended leg amputation as the best way to ensure the cancer does not come back. Thankfully animals are very resilient and I am more than confident she will live a very happy life as a tripod, however now the main battle now is paying for her surgery. So I opened this GoFundMe with the hopes of getting some financial help to get my sweet girl the medical care she needs!
I'm currently in college living with my sister, she works full time and I have a part time job but it's not enough to pay for all of Mink's treatment. We unfortunately don't have pet insurance at this time because it's difficult for us to afford, we don't even have health insurance for ourselves :(
We are hoping to raise around $3,500 to pay for her surgery and any additional post op care that she needs. We've already been able to raise around $1,100 on our own by sharing with friends and family but we haven't been able to get much traction otherwise. We've already spent around $1,400 to get her to this point of diagnosis and treatment but we now have to come up with the funds for the entire surgery. I've uploaded any and all medical documents we've gotten over the past few weeks, including vet bills from past appointments, biopsy results, x-rays, doctor recommendations, and the surgery estimate. I also have pictures of her tumor but I haven't wanted to post it publicly because the images are very gory - you can see the mass on her back leg in the x-ray attached.
