Choebe Ann is a 15-year-old Domestic short hair in Valley Village, CA, who needs $1,500 for Oncology consult, cytology, sedation, testing, and surgical in-house consult, ultrasound, multiple site centesis, and cytology..

Choebe Ann came to me when her mom passed away and the adult children needed a home for her. For the first two years with me, she lived in a house with a yard! Her yard! Her garden. these last 3 years she lives with me in a small but cozy studio. She has thrived within the space confines, taking full advantage of the walled balcony for sunbathing and the apartment for calisthenics.

It is just me and Choebe living together and we absolutely love each other's company. She is shy and wary of most other people, but she loves my cousin and my mother. Just the other night, she slept with my cousin when I was away. Choebe is very smart and communicative. She gets so traumatized by the cat carrier that I got a soft one so she doesn't make her claws bleed trying to get out.

I am unemployed since March 2020. I claim what I earn with chair massage, assisting my Uncle, and cat sitting. I receive unemployment until September and continue to search for suitable work. I live in Los Angeles. I have a car payment, insurance, rent, and credit card debt.

Choebe had a mast-cell tumor removed over her eye last fall. She has since developed another one just over her left eye. Cancer has spread to the lymph node. The cost of testing and consult is already 2,700, while the 5,000 from last fall is still sitting on my credit card. She will likely need radiation, chemo, steroid treatment, or a combination. She is being tested for spread right now.

She enjoys screaming and running the boundaries of our apartment obstacle course while I am on zoom calls. Choebe is a very affectionate little being. She plays like a kitten, the string being her favorite toy. She has a delicate stomach so we measure her food carefully, Greenies and bone broth make her vomit.
