Cami is a 13-year-old DSH Cat in Charlotte, NC, who needs $350 for Chemotherapy.

Cami was a neighborhood stray who came into my life after I lost a cat I had had since he was very young to cancer. She had rejected my earlier overtures but came inside and made herself at home not too long after William died. It was then we found out she had cancer. She is the oldest of my 7 cats.

Cami is the leader of the pack. She came in and immediately established herself as head by grooming the others like a mother. She is extremely sweet to all people and loves my other cats but is a bossy toward other cats. She loves the vet's office and everyone at her oncologist's very much loves her.

Cami saved me when I lost my William to cancer, a disease that has struck me personally and my family more than a few times. She is a precious cat who was abandoned by previous owners and I want to give her a good life for as long as possible.

Cami has mammary gland cancer. It was originally diagnosed in 2016. She had a lateral mastectomy and chemotherapy, both of which she tolerated quite well. She has since had a recurrence with a new lump that was resolved with a lumpectomy. She is eligible to do chemotherapy again, pending her tolerance and its effectiveness. She is a patient of Charlotte Animal Referral and Emergency (CARE).

Cami is my cancer buddy. She did very well with her cancer treatment and as she was finishing I got my cancer diagnosis, ironically the same type of cancer (mammary gland or breast). My cancer was caught sooner but as is the case with people my treatment protocol was more rigorous. Nevertheless I remain cancer free today.
