About this campaign

Coconut traveled over 25 hours by plane to come to the US from Thailand. She had escaped being stollen & sold into the cat meat trade but not before being hit so hard, her eyes were bulging from their sockets. When she was saved her eyes were too damaged to be saved & had to be removed. She adapted well to her new life. When she recovered I adopted her & she flew to NYC then driven to our home.

Coconut quickly became royalty & gained the title, Her Ladyship. She mapped her new home quickly. She became friends with the other furry family members & plays with toys with them. She has a velvet covered throne where she reigns over her subjects. Everyone who meets her, falls in love with her.

Cocnut earned the nickname White Fluff Ball of Suffocation - because she snuggles so close you can't breathe. And then she drools all over you. She has no fear. She climbs, jumps & plays like the others. She amazes me every day. I wonder how she managed to fly over 25 hours to get here when she loudly complains about a 15 min. car ride to the vet.

A few yrs ago, her liver began to fail. Months with a feeding tube, tests & meds. brought her back. But now, wht began as a mild limp has become either a serious bone infection or cancer. She needs a bone biopsy which could require or cause amputation. We all agree the biopsy is the best place to start for a definite diagnosis. If we try treating it as infection, we risk the cancer progressing.

Like most, I live paycheck to 3 days before paycheck. Biopsy est. $500. Amputation est. $2000. Chemo est. $3200 per treatment. This amazing cat is so much more than just a pet. She's been through more than her share of hell and deserves to live a long life.
