Kibby is a 3 year old Ragamuffin in Asheville, , who needs $600 for Therapeutic Diet For IBD.

I met Kibby in January 2024. She came to me in a time where I was lost in a toxic relationship. Despite my struggles with mental health, she helped me take responsibility and step up in ways I hadn’t for myself. When that relationship ended, she became my one true confidante and best friend. Now, we live together in a house in West Asheville. I work 3 jobs and she loves to lounge in her hammock.

My sweet baby was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) three months ago. This has been a rough journey for us both. I’ve had to watch her endure a lot of pain, and though cats are good at hiding it, I could see her discomfort. With the help of Charlotte Street Animal Hospital, we have finally found something that helps, which is Hills Science Z/D Wet food.

Kibby loves to play and I love to play with her! We play with her toy wand every day with interchangeable feathers, mice, birds, worms, etc. My friends call her Princess Kib because whenever I have had the means I have spoiled her! And she loves every second of it. She has become family to me and has made life significantly less lonely! I love her endlessly and would do anything for her.

The prescription food Kibby needs is expensive ($100 for 24 5.5oz cans) and it has been hard for me to allocate the funds with my low paying jobs. I am only making ends meet. I’d like to raise enough money for the next six months while I look for new jobs with better wages.
