Figaro is a 7-year-old Tuxedo Cat in Winston Salem, NC, who needs $2,000 for Saddle Thrombus.

Figaro is my best friend. He just appeared one day at my aunt's and I drove 18 hours each hway to rescue him. That was 6 years ago. He became my shadow and bestie overnight. Figaro has been there through the worst parts of my life ever since.

He has a brother who adores him and he LOVES to ride in the RV, hang out with mama on a warm blanket, and purrs so loud you can hear him across the room. He has in own ista he is so loved in our family

He helped me through a life-changing wreck. He makes every day better and purrs if you even look at him. He is the best cat in the world. I can't imagine life without him.

Today he started not being able to put weight on his leg. He didn't get up for breakfast and I am very worried about him. He won't walk around and will not let me touch his paw. He had to pull himself onto my bed with his front paws. I need to get him seen. I have been crying all morning.

I had a different emergency myself and my funds are tied up there. I have no way to get my sweet boy seen now. I would have gone without if I knew he was going to be sick.
