Buttons is a 4 year old American Shorthair in Bay City, MI, who needs $2,000 for Pelvic/Abdominal Ultrasound and Surgery.

Hi! We adopted Buttons about 3 years ago. She was "blacklisted" at the shelter due to her being aggressive, but after some time she became the sweetest most loving fur baby ever. She lives with me, my daughter, my boyfriend, and 2 other fur babies. She always sleeps by my head at night and gives me all the kisses.

Buttons has suffered from chronic UTI's ever since we had adopted her. We recently moved, and the new vet noticed that she has some anatomical abnormalities of her vulva/genital region causing these UTI's. In order to treat this she needs to see a specialist at MSU Veterinary Hospital.

She was super shy when first introduced to our dog Shelby and other kitty Kirby. Now she still isn't a fan of Shelby, but loves Kirby. They are best friends! Kirby is older, and she has brought his energy and kitten-like personality back out. She also loves cuddling with my daughter at night in her crib. Her favorite toy is her small catnip stuffed mouse, I find it in my bed every night.

Unfortunately, I have been struggling both physically and mentally ever since my daughter was born in 2024. Now that we are down to one income, we have to care for my daughter and 3 fur babies, making meeting ends meet very difficult.
