Henry is a 10 year old American Shorthair in Columbia Heights, MN, who needs $350 for Exam, Blood Work and Meds.

I adopted Henry along with his brother Simba in June 2015 when they were just 3 months old. We lost Simba to stomach cancer this past October and Henry has been taking it rough. We moved into my partners inherited home after his dad passed April 2024 that unfortunately came with a lot of utility and property tax debt we have to get caught up on. We had a baby Jan 2025 and Henry is a great big bro!

About a week ago I noticed Henry acting weird. His nose was starting to scab over and he was drooling, he wasn’t eating or drinking water. He is now drinking, but still not wanting to eat. I cannot afford to get him in to find out what is wrong, but I am worried about him and if he is at a point of no return already from lack of nutrition.

Henry is my best friend. He has been by my side since the night we brought him home. He is my cuddle bug and my shoulder kitty! He is a lazy, chunky boy, but he loves to play especially chasing after a laser, and any chance to snuggle he takes. We thought having a baby would make him jealous or anxious, but he has taken to her exceptionally well and they love each other.

Due to postpartum mental health issues, I have only returned to work part time and only in the last 4 months. I am on the MFIP program and my husband is a SSDI recipient. We just don’t have any disposable income and getting Henry to health would mean the world to me!
