Jiggy is a 8 year old American Shorthair in Cedar Rapids, IA, who needs $2,500 for Blood Transfusion.

I adopted Jiggy from Cedar Valley Humane Society Society. Jiggy had been brought in by a women who stated that her boyfriend had been shooting him with a BB gun in their backyard while Jiggy was a stray. This caused Jiggy to have a permanently turned down ear. Jiggy’s age is unknown but was estimated to be 6 at the time. I have had him almost 3 years and will be 9 in August.

Jiggy is FIV+ and FELV+. This causes him to have a very weak immune system. Jiggy currently has a grade 1/2 heart murmur and very early stages of heart disease. Jiggy struggles with allergies/asthma and his most recently blood work at Peterson Pet Hospital in Cedar Rapids, show he is now anemic. This could be a serious issue and it is important for early diagnosis for the best outcome.

Jiggy is the most perfect cat I have ever had. He is an amazing cuddle buddy and loves to talk our ears off when we come home or when he wants food! Our stud loves to lay around, sunbathe, and watch anything and everything out the window. He loves to be around people and always is right next to us. Jiggy’s favorite thing is being brushed. He will even brush himself if we just hold the comb out!

Due to Jiggy’s issues he never qualified for pet insurance. With repeated vet visits, this year alone I have spent roughly $1460 on vet care. Now he needs diagnostics tests to help determine why he is anemic. If not treated we may lose our cuddle-bug and would be heartbroken
