Bea is a 4 year old American Shorthair in Baltic, SD, who needs $2,000 for Internal Medicine Check Up and Dermatology Consult.

We found her in June of last year at the Humane Society, where she had been waiting for a family for over six months. Before that, she was a feral farm cat—living a life that was tough, quiet, and lonely. She went from hiding under furniture to claiming her spot as the world’s most dedicated lap cat. She finally learned what it meant to be safe and loved. Now, she’s fighting for her life.

Bea losing her appetite turned into a life-threatening crisis. She was diagnosed with Hepatic Lipidosis (liver failure). Despite our best efforts at local clinics, her condition became critical. Her bilirubin spiked(6.8), her potassium crashed, and she began running a 104°F fever. We rushed her 5 hours to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center where she was placed in critical care

She is our 'tiny shadow,' following us from room to room. Whether she’s aggressively diving after toys on the couch or claiming a lap for an afternoon nap, she is always part of the conversation. And if she feels ignored? She doesn't meow—she gives us a signature 'grunt' to let us know she’s the boss. She's confident and so sweet. That's why we call her "Sweet Bea".

We’ve taken a significant financial hit. We had a huge investment loss resulting from Iran conflict. We have already spent over $16,000 on medical bills for Bea. To help stay ahead of things, we’re currently downsizing and selling items we don't need and taking out a loan.
