Cleo is a 13 year old American Longhair in Melbourne, FL, who needs $2,000 for CT Scan and Radiation Treatment.

I adopted Cleo and her brother on Black Friday in 2011. They were just a few weeks old. Their mother had complications, and they were the last two left in the litter. When I saw them curled up together, I couldn’t bring myself to separate them. I took them both home that day. They’ve been with me ever since.
Cleo has always been more than just a cat. She’s been my companion through every chapter

Cleo has been diagnosed with a brain tumor that is pressing on her optic nerve, causing sudden-onset blindness. She has lost her vision in a matter of days but continues to eat, walk, and stay close to the people she loves. Her spirit is still strong, and she is fighting every day. This is not a condition that can be treated with simple medication. It requires targeted radiation therapy.

Cleo and Todd were adopted together as kittens and have been inseparable ever since. They are deeply bonded. Todd curls up next to her every day, and since her diagnosis, he has rarely left her side. Their connection is something I never take for granted. Even now, as she navigates her world without vision, she still finds her way.

Cleo’s diagnosis came as a shock. She was fine one day, and the next, she was losing her balance and bumping into things. I took her in right away, and we found out through an emergency MRI that she had a brain tumor. Everything moved quickly from there.
