Frumpkin is a 12-year-old American Shorthair in Springfield, OH, who needs $205 for diagnostic blood tests and medication.

This sweet boy had a very tough life before I took him in. He had belonged to a neighbor, but they put him out on the street. He was extremely malnourished, and could only eat a very small amount of food at a time. He had been injured defending a stray mama & her kittens, and his left ear was torn at the base so badly he almost lost it. When the weather turned cold I took him in so he wouldn't die.

He is extremely affectionate. If it were up to him, he would want me pet him every waking moment. He is one of the most gentle and loving cats I have ever seen. Any time he thinks you are not busy, or sometimes even if you are, he comes up purring as loudly as possible and says 'Pet me please?' We love him so much.

He just wants to be with me or my daughter all of the time. If you stop to do something, like even getting a glass of water, he comes up meowing & purring and stands up and puts his front paws on the cabinet next to you to try to get closer to you and ask for pets and love. He is affectionate with everyone.

He keeps losing weight even though he is eating well, and has issues now & then with diarrhea. I suspect he may have high thyroid. I had a cat who passed away last year, and he had high thyroid, so I know that it can become a very dangerous condition if left untreated. His vet needs to run blood tests to diagnosed and treat him. The vet is Dr. Dana King at Northside Vet Clinic in Springfield Ohio.

I lost my job in Jan. of 2020, and I have been looking for a job ever since. My only source of income was unemployment, which ended on Sept. 6th 2021. Now I have no income. I would appreciate your help so much. To see him well & healthy again would mean the world to me.
