23 is a 2-year-old Siamese Black Smoke Cat in Beaverton, OR, who needs $2,000 for Urgent Care.

23 and I have been packmates for a little over a year, and 2/3 of that being when I lived off grid in the high desert of california. I named her 23 after one of my favorite artist/musicians, and I love thinking that she lives the legacy of this inspirational person for me. funny enough, before I named her, the seller was calling her Michael Jordan. so it all felt so fitting and special.

23 really enjoys watching birds, always needs to drink whatever water im drinking , and loves catching water droplets. the smelliest fish flavored treats are her favorites. she enjoys camping and hunting. one time she caught a fresh shrew and ate it all in front of me. I thought she'd stop at the head but she just kept going and looked like a bad ass.

well first off 23 is a black smoke. I like to call her my sequin pillow as a joke because she reminds me of those sequin pillows where when one strokes one way its one color and stroking the other way is another color. her fur is like that! ive also never felt any cat as soft as her. 23 is a polydactyl and has longer front fangs that hang out a bit and make her look like a werewolf bat.

for a month now, 23 has been loosing weight and it was hard to pin point why. it looks like she has dental issues with her back teeth and may need them extracted and a cleaning. im not sure if that is all that is going on with her. shes extremely underweight, has foul breath, loose stools with some mucus and blood, etc. I hope to hear more from the veterinarian at oregon humane society.

i suffer from mental illnesses & disability. I havent been able to hold a job & havent had alot of experience in society. I lived off grid for a decade. 23 is a deep part of my heart & helps me feel more secure. my gratitude is immense for any & all help to her wellbeing.
