Dakota is a 6-year-old Short hair calico in Chappell, NE, who needs $2,000 for Oncology for mass in kidney.

Dakota came to Nebraska Loves Cats after being abandoned on a farm near Chappel, Nebraska. Although, we know little about her history before coming to the farm, at first believed feral, she is actually very sweet natured. She is inside with Diector Michelle receiving the best care and food she deserves!

Last summer Dakota took on a foster "mom" role for several kittens born to community cats. She is friendly with the other Nebraska Loves Cats residents, but when healthy, she enjoyed exploring outside around the farm and lounging in the sun! She occasionally likes to play as well, chasing the other cats!

Dakota is especially endeared to the NLC team because of her care for last summers foster kittens. She has a beautiful calico coat and eyes! She is also a manx cat with a super cute bob tail! She can sometimes be vocal and talks to director Michelle! Probably complaining about something as most calicos like to do!

Dakota's care is urgent! She began losing weight and losing interest in food. This caused her two need a visit to our vet in Sidney, Nebraska. Once there, she received fluids and was radiographed. A mass in her kidneys was discovered. She needs to see an oncologist that can reccomend and perform any needed treatment. This may include surgery.

Nebraska Loves Cats is located in Chappell, Nebraska. This area is very rural and the treatment she needs is only available in Colorado. Her treatment by a specialist will be very expensive. The initial visit will cost $2500. There will also be expenses for travel .
