Boba is a 1-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Wichita, KS, who needs $2,000 for Surgery, Hospitalization, Laser Therapy, Wound Repair, IV Fluids, Medications, and daily baths. diagnosed with Fourniers Gangrene.

I adopted Boba about a year ago in March 2021 from Wichita Animal Action League. I consider him my emotional support kitty. Boba is named after Boba Fett from Star wars. He has two housemates; Gaia who is his adopted kitty sister, and Mac who is Boba's doggie brother. We currently live in a rental. Our home has a small fenced in backyard that we all love to hang out in and enjoy the sunshine.

In Bobas free time, he is a king sleeping on his high throne (cat tree). Gaia and Boba love to groom each other every day. They have a special cuddle session every night. Boba loves to play with Mac's tail and Mac will tease him right back. Our friends and family love Boba almost as much as he loves them. He is social and sweet! He makes biscuits on the daily and purrs very loudly.

My favorite part of my day is coming home to my handsome Boba waiting for me on his stool next to the front door. He meows and me and tells me how much he loves me and missed me each day. When I get ready, Boba is right there to help me, he hangs out on the bathroom counter and watches me prepare for the day, while his sister Gaia watches me from her special bathroom drawer.

Andrea Hemmen from Oakcrest Pet Hospital is treating Boba for a rare condition called Fournier's Gangrene. Starting one Friday night, he began vomiting and running a fever. Diagnostics were run to find a cause of his symptoms with no luck other than a possible foreign body, which he went into surgery for. One week later he presented for necrotic skin and a huge opening in his genital area.

This was a sudden unexpected expense. Boba can potentially be hospitalized for upwards of 2 months. He needs continuous care and cleaning as he has large open wounds. Boba has had two surgeries and possibly will need more as he continues to heal.
