Khaleesi is a 9-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Herndon, VA, who needs $2,000 for chemotherapy.

Khaleesi came to us at about 4 weeks old and needed a home. She was a stray that had one eye that was partially blind and another that had the third eyelid grown completely over it. She also had 6 toes. Turns out we needed her more than she needed us. Her love saved us just as much as our love saved her. We would go to the ends of the world to have those mittens slap us around.

She is the sweetest most innocent baby. She likes to do absolutely nothing all day accept snuggle. She gets along well with everything, people, other cats, dogs, you name it, she doesn’t mind it. She just minds her business as long as they mind theirs. She can be feisty too. When she’s had enough, she’s had enough. But it takes a lot for her to get that way.

We paid for a few clinical vet visits for repeat labs. Two ER placements, bypass surgery including two blood trans. Continuation of meds. Oncology and chemo. Insurance was used, barely covered 1/2. Juggling it all with reduced work hours from the pandemic.

A small cosmetic lump we found led to pre op blood work which found liver issues. Meds didn’t work after recheck bloodwork. Her liver started to fail, showed jaundice. Diagnosed triaditis, home care didn’t work, she got surgery with an etube. Cells came back abnormal. She was also diagnosed small cell lymphoma. She saw oncology. She continues her slew of meds with prednisolone and a chemo med.

She’s special because she has one eye. She has feline herpes virus and it has never stopped her. She also has severe asthma, which has also never stopped her. She also has big ole mittens. She will use them to slap you when she wants love and it makes us smile so much, when she wants love she wants love.
