Help Anchovy get Radiation Therapy — Austin, TX

Anchovy is my stinky little fish! I rescued her from Austin Pets Alive! In February of 2019. She's a healthy dose of silly, chaos, and affection that brings me more and more joy everyday. Almost everyone who meets her say they've never met a kitty so affectionate and sweet. She loves fish, basking in the sun on our balcony, and zooming around on her shelves strewn across our apartment!

This year she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Because she didn't tolerate medication, Heart of Texas, our current vet, prescribed her the Hill's Y/D food to treat it and is ridiculously more expensive. She can only eat the Hills, otherwise we risk reactivating her thyroid. No treats. No nothing. Hills only. We're raising funds for radiation therapy to cure and increase quality of life.

Anchovy is my baby. I know every pet parent says their pet is their child but I cannot overstate the amount of joy and love I feel from this cat. She's my registered ESA too helping me manage my disabilities and provide outside accountability to take care of myself. If I cant take care of myself then I cant take care of her and I want to give her everything as imaginably possible.

Back in May, RRISD removed me from my position because I told my students my pronouns. Since then I'm barely getting by driving for Uber/Lyft while job hunting and then mid October, my car broke down. I now  have no income with over $1k worth of car repairs.
