Kai is a 7 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Spokane, WA, who needs $4,049 for Surgical Mass Removal.

So I’ve had my boy Kai since he was 6 weeks old, I got him shortly after having to put down my family dog back in early 2019. He’s been my sidekick and emotional support animal since the day I got him. He’s moved everywhere with me, and has been through a lot with me as well. He’s been a very loving buddy to have with me from a rough point in my life.

So as of recent Kai has been diagnosed with a mast cell tumor, low grade 1 tumor. Went into the VCA North Division Animal Medical Center for his normal yearly exam and I had noticed a lump on his chest and had them take a fine needle aspiration sample of it and sent it off to the pathologist, well quite literally the next day I had gotten the results so I knew it wasn’t going to be good.

Kai is a very special dog to me, he’s been with me through the divorce of my parents, he’s been there through a really tough breakup and he’s been there when I’ve had several bad manic episodes. I have bipolar depression 1 and have used his comfort and love as part of my support and treatment. He loves anyone and everyone he comes in contact with sometimes even more than me.

Im in the process of going through a bankruptcy, I had a messy breakup that put a lot of financial stress on me. Well his medical bills to perform the surgery are more than what I can pay out of pocket. With them catching it early on it gives him a better chance.
