Kawa is a 12 year old Mix-Breed in Honolulu, HI, who needs $6,500 for Carboplatin- 5-6 Treatments.

Kawa came into my life when I adopted him from the Hawaiian Humane Society at just 3.5 months old. The moment I saw his oversized paws, I just knew he was my best friend. We've shared over 12 wonderful years together. His name comes from his puppy habit of constantly jumping around, and me trying to manifest calmness (Hawaiian Kawa drink). And the nickname Kawa Lava quickly followed.

Kawa is being treated at VERC after being diagnosed with Apocrine Gland Anal Sac Adenocarcinoma (AGASACA). Surgery removed the main tumor, but because the margins were narrow and the cancer is aggressive, we're pursuing chemotherapy to treat remaining microscopic cancer cells. Treatments include chemo, scans, bloodwork, and monitoring to give him the best chance at more healthy, happy years.

Kawa was simply born good. He loves everyone, from babies to strangers to every animal he meets. His favorite days include yak treats, Alan Davis Beach, Lamb Chop toys, and zoomies after baths. His gentle kisses, endless patience, and sweet soul have comforted countless people. Everyone who meets him leaves smiling.

While caring for Kawa, I'm also covering expenses related to settling my late father's affairs, which has depleted my savings. Cancer treatment is more than I can manage alone. Your generosity gives Kawa the chance for more healthy days by my side and out in the community.
