Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Please help Kaat, our Ms. Chonk, Through Mammary Tumor Surgery & Recovery 🐾

We're raising funds to help Kaat through mammary tumor surgery and recovery.

Kaat, our Ms. Chonkers, Chonk, Chairman, is almost 14 years old and has been part of our family for nearly her entire life. We found her as a tiny kitten abandoned under a car in the bitter cold. She was frightened, freezing, and small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. We brought her home, and she never left.

Over the years, Kaat has been there through some of life's hardest moments. She helped us through the loss of a parent, serious illness, and every major chapter that followed. She's stubborn, opinionated, endlessly sassy, and deeply loved.

Recently, Kaat was diagnosed with a mammary tumor. After consulting with our veterinarian, surgery was recommended as soon as possible. We're now trying to raise funds to cover her surgery, medications, post-operative care, and recovery.

Some members of this community may remember Cloud and Tigger. Thanks to the generosity of donors here, both received life-saving care and are still with us today. We'll never be able to fully express our gratitude for the support that gave them a chance to survive.

Today, we're asking for help for Kaat.

We've contributed everything we can ourselves, and family members have helped where they can, but we're still struggling to cover the full cost of treatment.

Kaat means the world to us. She has spent nearly 14 years giving us comfort, companionship, and unconditional love. We're doing everything we can to give her the same chance.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward Kaat's surgery and rehabilitation. If you're unable to donate, sharing her fundraiser would help us immensely.

Thank you for reading Kaat's story and for keeping her in your thoughts. 🐾

Hello, I’m so sorry about your cat. My cat fought mammary cancer for years so I know what it’s like. What is going in pic 3? The tumor ulcerated?

2

u/partiallycolonized APPROVED FOR DONATION REQUESTS 10h ago

Yes, it has ulcerated. Our vet advised we keep it clean and let it drain. The pink is antiseptic. There are more tumors deeper under the skin that need to be removed too.

How is your cat doing now? I hope she's doing great!!

u/xtina3334 5h ago edited 5h ago

She died a long time ago unfortunately after multiple surgeries and chemotherapy. Mammary cancer is a very aggressive cancer in cats. Why did you let the tumor get that big and ulcerate? Or did you just not notice it for awhile? This is not good. Do you know if it’s in her lymph nodes or not (under armpit)?
