Bowie is a 9 year old Maine Coon in New York, NY, who needs $2,000 for Specialty Pelvic Limb Amputation.

🐾 Meet Bowie

Bowie is a 9-year-old rescue cat, mostly Maine Coon, whom we adopted at 10 weeks old. He lives with me and his sister, Shadow, in a safe indoor home. Always affectionate and full of personality, he’s now facing a serious health challenge but remains his loving, gentle self.

Bowie was diagnosed with a grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma after a biopsy and CT scan confirmed a tumor on his upper thigh. Specialists at BluePearl Pet Hospital in New York City recommend an urgent amputation to prevent the cancer from spreading and give him the best chance at recovery.

Bowie is a lively, affectionate cat who loves to run, jump, and meow at everything outside the window. He plays with his sister, Shadow, and cuddles with anyone he trusts. Shy at first but full of love once he warms up, he’s a total chatterbox who waits for me to come home so he can curl up and purr beside me.
(And yes… he was named after the musical genius David Bowie.)

I’ve covered Bowie’s tests and scans, but the $8,500 surgery is more than I can manage alone. Having him healthy again would mean everything — he’s family, and I just want him to have the chance to live a long, happy life.
