Cassandra is a 6 year old American Shorthair in Minneapolis, MN, who needs $1,300 for Urgent Dental Work and Testing for Illness.

Cassandra is a rescue from (ironically) SecondHand Hounds. She came into my life in 2022 and quickly proved herself to be an excellent emotional support animal and a great roommate! We live in a studio apartment together and she is my whole world.
I am a "recovering" teacher who had to change careers very suddenly, and used up any sort of financial cushion I had during the pandemic.

She has been very healthy since I've had her, but she needs dental work and appears to be very sick this past two weeks. We are waiting for further test results, but she has been acting very out of the ordinary and showing signs that are very concerning for a cat. Hopefully, we'll get into Access Urgent Care.

Cassandra is a natural companion. She provides pressure and comfort during my PTSD episodes or panic attacks without training, and snuggles when I'm sobbing. She chats with me all day and sleeps with me at night. She LOVES people and will welcome any new person in the apartment. She hates outside and has no plans of returning to the streets any time soon <3

I am a "recovering" teacher who had to change careers suddenly after barely making it through the COVID-19 pandemic with funds to spare. Due to this career change, I am not making what I would have been if I could have continued teaching, and I haven't recovered from COVID.
