Jona is a 9-year-old Domestic Longhair in Spokane Valley, WA, who needs $2,000 for Abdominal Surgery.

Jona is a second generation cat in our family. When I was a teen, I had her momma who gave us Jona. She was so lovable I wanted to keep her and she’s been with me ever since. She’s moved states with me and has been here to welcome my 2 children. My youngest calls her Jonut (like donut) and that’s been her nickname ever since. She doesn’t have a mean side to her and makes a great pillow 💕

Jona is a bed buddy for sure. She loves to sleep with me under the blankets or at the foot of my bed. However, her favorite spot is on my 3 years old’s bed once he’s asleep 💕 When she’s home she naps until night time when she gets the zoomies. She loves to run across the living room and slide on my rug! Her favorite toy is a crinkly pickle. She loves “butt bongos” which are just back pats haha.

Jona is so easy going, I often find my youngest laying on her belly watching tv. Her favorite things are licking my legs when I’m out of the shower and rolling in my shoes when I take them off. She’s scared of the vacuum and car rides but loves to hike! I harness her on sunny days and let her sit in the sun for a while munching on grass.

Jona some how swallowed a very long string that has wrapped itself around parts of her bowels and intestines. Her symptoms started so suddenly it’s been hard to get answers until after extensive imaging and blood work. She was vomiting bile and hasn’t touched food in 2 days. The doctor had to get her into surgery and an IV immediately for any chance of survival. We are hoping for the best.

I’m a single mother of 2, self employed, and just spent a chunk of money on my kindergartener's birthday party. I have my HS reunion in June I was hoping to attend with my kids but afraid I may need to cancel plans. Jona is family and our priority is now saving her.
