Cake is a 3-year-old Domestic Medium/Shorthair Cat in Lansdowne, PA, who needs $100 for Congestive Heart Failure.

We’ve had cake for about a 8 months - 10 months now. She was dropped on the step at our local PETCO, in a carrier with a trash bag covering it. So, Lou called me and said he was bringing her home. When we got to the store she was crying in the cage, and when I opened it I realized she had thumbs! She is a poly. He decided on the name cake, after an adventure time character 🩵

She is a sweetheart! We got her a friend just to help keep her occupied because she kept getting bored but refused toys, 🤣, typical. She and her play like there’s no tomorrow. She even rained her to drink from the ‘corner’ of the water dish, and how to walk like a supermodel.

She has thumbs! I know polys aren’t rare but come on, A FEMALE ORANGE ONE WITH THUMBS? she isn’t a talker or much of anything, she just lays in awkward spots and stares at people 😂 she’s not very affectionate, but when she is her purr is beautiful. She gets excited over looking out of window, loves going on car rides and leash walks.

At around 11:30 PM on August 15th, 2023, cake had jumped up on the bed and I noticed her breathing was weird and her mouth was open. After an hour of watching and concerned, we rushed her to the emergency veterinarian. After four hours and three X-rays later, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and feline asthma. She will be on medication for life.

This was definitely a sudden change with no money, the vet was amazing and helped up keep the total within budget of $700. If we can afford to keep her medication, it will make Lou so happy. This is his little baby, the one cat that he’s actually been able to keep, in a way.
