Doc is a 4 year old Russian Blue in Aberdeen, MD, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Surgery.

We found Doc at the Amish market we frequent in Pennsylvania one very hot day in June of 2021, he was in a small crate with a “free” sign on it along with three of his siblings- they had no food or water and it was near the end of their day, so we felt compelled to rescue them all. We found homes for the others, but Doc has remained with us ever since.

Doc has something lodged in his belly, luckily it’s still above his intestines and we are unsure of what it could be. He’s currently hospitalized receiving treatment to hopefully avoid surgery, and help him pass it- but surgery isn’t completely off the table until we see how he reacts to the treatment he is receiving now.

Doc is the best bedtime “nuzzler”, he will shove his perfect little face into your neck or armpit at almost any chance, he’s like glue for our family as he expresses his love so deeply. Doc loves crunchy tuna flakes, and playing with his brothers and giving them the sweetest and most intense grooming sessions.

Our family has been without income since April, we are luckily in a new position now as my husband has just acquired a new job, but pay hasn’t come yet and we have struggled to meet our bare needs, mortgage, electric bill etc.
