Itachi is a 2 year old American Shorthair in Cleveland Heights, OH, who needs $250 for Specialist Visit w/Neurology Update Treatment Plan.

About two years ago, my son brought home an exuberant black kitty home to me. My son named him Itachi after one of the characters in his favorite anime. Itachi has been an absolute joy since he's been a part of our family. He is so sweet and
he acts like he's my protector so he is almost always within 5 feet of me, unless he is on a mouse excursion in the basement.

When Itachi was 11 months old, he started having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. True epilepsy is super rare in cats, so we to drive him an hour away to a neurologist. His care is expensive and we have to pay for everything out-of-pocket because he is uninsurable. We will need an MRI and bloodwork soon, but right now we just need to see the specialist for meds and new treatment plan.

Itachi loves playing with his cat sister, Chloe, and harassing his dog brother, Chopper. He has served as an emotional support animal for me and he takes his job very seriously. He is a completely normal cat when he is not having seizures so he has an amazing quality of life!

We have had a lot of life changes in the time since Itachi has become part of our family. We have had divorce, a death, and 2 births. We didn't anticipate having a cat with a chronic medical condition, and we don't want to lose him because his care is too expensive.
