Cali is a 3-year-old Calico in Falls Church, VA, who needs $4,500 for possible kidney issues, pancreatitis or foreign body in the abdomen.

Hi, my name is Cali, and up until three days ago, I was a fun loving 3 year old enjoying my life with my siblings. Unfortunately, since then my health has a take a very wrong turn, and I don't know why. My life hasn't always been fun, in fact a short time ago, my sister and I were pretty much given up for dead. Fortunately, an animal rescue saved us and put us with a foster family who took the necessary time to bring us back to normal health. There were certainly some rough times, and it took a while for me and my sister to trust any humans based on the abuse that we had endured. But I quickly realized how special my family was. The love and affection that they gave to us showed that there was a reason why we were saved. In fact, our foster family decided to adopt me and my sister permanently, and I have to say life has been great....but three days ago, I became very sick. I was not able to eat, and I became extremely dehydrated. I was taken to the hospital and given fluids and medication. Unfortunately nothing was helping, and my health was deteriorating even more. It is being said that I most likely have some sort of foreign body blockage in my abdomen, and I am getting ready for emergency surgery. I am really scared. I just want to get better...come home, and be with my family...I really need your help!
