Kitty-kitty Mau-mau is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Staunton, VA, who needs $2,000 for General Joint Surgery and Periodontal Surgery.

Kitty-kitty was originally just a TY beanie baby that my special needs son happened upon and fell in love with in 2016. We had no cats then. In 2017, my husband and I discussed maybe getting a cat but would mostly love to find just a similar cat to our sons TY beanie. Believe it or not Dec of 2017, a week before Christmas; my husband got a message from a coworker with a pic of her!!

Kitty is 7 yrs old and we haven't had any issues medically until recently. She injured herself jumping onto the toilet while the lid was up. Slipped and fell, which cause joint fluid build up that was looked at in Aug. She also was diagnosed with peridontal disease and need 4-5 molars removed. With the lump on her joint, it was fine till two weeks ago (early Sept). Not it's inflamed and large!

Kitty loves to seem like she is not happy with our dog, but she will get caught laying and cuddling with our dog Nova. Kitty is sweet and silly, she acts like such a queen. At 7 yrs old she still acts entirely "kitten" like. Chasing her tail, chasing the dog (playfully), rolling on the floor and attacking her tail around the leg of the table. But she is also the most calm and loving, cuddle bug!

Kitty was initially my son's companion until we rescued a polydactyl black cat; and then Kitty became a mother figure to our Black cat Link, while Link bonded with our son. Unfortunately, Link had a heart event at 4 yrs old this past July 21, 2024. We love her dearly!
