I.B.K. (Itty-Bitty-Kitty) is an 11-year-old cat in Santa Ana, CA, who needs $1,500 for chlorambucil and prednisolone with supportive blood tests.

About 10.5 years ago, the wife and I were visiting out local Petsmart® and we were visiting the kitties that were looking for their "forever home". While I was walking through the cages I came across 2 twin kitties. a male and a female. The male had already been adopted and the female had not. She caught my eye right away! I fell in love with her and she would grab my sleeve every time!

Her official name is IBK (short for Itty Bitty Kitty) and she came right into our home and became the kitty boss right away even though her new brother and sister were well established and 5 or years older. We think she was about six months then. when she came home with us they said to keep them separated but she would have nothing to do with that! she moved in and that was it.

We have already have had to pay for other pet bills and bills to help diagnose her already. I am starting to Oncology center and this can be pricey. I will take out a loan at the vets office but help would be needed too.

Over the last couple of weeks she was just not herself. We took her in to the vet but they did all kinds of tests. Until shy found a lump in her abdomen. Multiple tests later they diagnosed her with Small Cell Lymphoma. A very common cancer among cats. The treatment is Oral Cortisone and and chemotherapy to force remission.

She it absolutely the friendliest little princess that there is . It is so much waking up in the night with here telling me its time to cuddle. I am a professional Santa and have a full beard, the she loves to bake biscuits on and purrr like a mac truck. PURRRR! She normally wants to sleep under it and cuddle. If I turn over and that just won't do. She starts to dig under me until I turn back
