Buddy is a 8-year-old Short-Haired Cat in Miami, FL, who needs $2,000 for Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery.

When I moved into my new home, I rescued Buddy from the neighborhood he was living in for 7 years as a stray. After many years on the street, we adopted him to provide him and his bonded partner, Loredo, a safe and warm home to be in.

Buddy is the sweetest cat in the world, everyone loves him and he loves everyone! He is so cuddly and affectionate and loves nothing more than to curl up next to a human or animal friend.

Buddy is always sticking out his tongue and he loves to climb and we always find him in the weirdest spots. Most recently he has become accustomed to sitting on my boyfriends motorcycle.

After going in for a check-up following an allergic reaction, the vet noticed Buddy had a scab on his nose. We thought he had pawed at it but upon further examination and a biopsy, it was revealed that he had a cancerous tumor in his nose.

Unfortunately the cost of radiation is close to $10K all in which we cannot afford. The tumor cannot be surgically removed as it would take out his entire nose so the only thing we can do is radiation otherwise it will continue to grow until it kills him.
