I lost my soul baby Scruffles on Sunday. She was only 11, she should’ve had many years left.

She had been battling a rare condition called Idiopathic Chylothorax for the past month and she even had a consultation scheduled for this past Monday with Texas A&M veterinary clinic in college station. I was so hopeful that she could recover, but Saturday night she took a turn for the worse and started having trouble breathing.

We rushed her to the ER vet last night and although they kept her hospitalized over night, they said that her breathing hadn’t improved and they were unable to drain the fluid from her chest.

We made the incredibly difficult decision to put her down and end her suffering. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but I knew it was the right thing to do.

I do take solace in the fact that her videos on TikTok have reached hundreds of thousands of people and I have brought more awareness to the disease that so cruelly took my baby from me.

This grieving journey is already hard and it’s been less than a week. I have to completely reshape my world without my baby in it. Any advice on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated.

My beloved cat, Scruffles, has been diagnosed with Chylothorax, a serious condition that causes fluid to build up around her lungs and makes it difficult for her to breathe.

For now, she needs weekly procedures to drain the fluid from her chest, but this is only a temporary solution and cannot continue indefinitely.

We’re urgently exploring surgical options, and Scruffles has a consultation scheduled for June 17. The surgery is highly invasive and could cost over $10,000.

We’ve already spent more than $2,000 on her care, and the expenses are quickly becoming overwhelming. Any donations, shares, or kind words would mean the world to us as we fight to give Scruffles the best chance possible.

My fiancé surprised me this weekend with my dream engagement ring! I’m wearing a size 7 and it’s a .9 carat natural diamond set in yellow 14k gold! It’s from the website Rare Carat and we couldn’t be happier with it. 😊
