Copernicus is a 14 year old Bengal in Midlothian, TX, who needs $20,000 for Sarcoma Treatment.

Copernicus, whom we call Kit, has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. I received him from my 7th grade English teacher and have loved him for 14 years. He is my only pet and has always been an indoor cat. I named him Copernicus because I loved astronomy in school. Kit has been a constant companion, my best friend, my weighted blanket, and truly feels like part of our family.

My cat Copernicus (Kit) is currently being treated for a suspected feline injection-site sarcoma, an aggressive cancer that requires urgent surgery, radiation, and treatment. He is being seen by specialists at PetCure Oncology in Mansfield, Texas. Kit also has congestive heart failure, which makes treatment more complex and requires careful specialist care assistance.

Kit has always loved people and being the center of attention. He loves to talk and cuddle. Because I have Crohn’s disease, he spent a lot of time with me in the bathroom and actually learned to use the toilet by watching me. He has been my constant companion for 14 years and has brought comfort and joy through some of my hardest days and now I just want to help him through his.

Due to severe Crohn’s disease, I have been unable to work while dealing with an ongoing flare. My husband serves in the military and our household relies on his fixed income. Help with Kit’s treatment would mean everything to us and would give him the chance to keep fighting
