Koda is a 12 year old Mix-Breed in Chattanooga, TN, who needs $300 for Depo-Medrol and Convenia Injections.

I adopted Koda 12 years ago from a PetSmart adoption event when he was a foster kitten. I really wanted to to get his sister as well but due to an issue with ear mites and having an accident right after bringing him home, I wasn't allowed that by my mom. He's my best friend and a father figure to many of my own fosters, and deeply bonded with my other cat Cho. I just want to help him so much.

Koda has a severe ear infection with mites that I've been trying to treat for a year. I've taken him to emergency care when it got bad causing vertigo and his left eye to shut. I've done everything I can, even while working, but affording treatment has been hard. I knew it was a problem, but I didn't know about the mites until keeping his ear clean became difficult and I found a vet I could afford

Koda is my shadow, my little troublemaker, and my best friend. He's talkative, mischievous, and acts more like a dog-he loves car rides, walks and food (even if he won't eat it). He fusses when I'm gone too long and isn't afraid of anything except me not being here. He's lost his spark from being so sick, but with care, he lights up again like the kitten he once was.

I lost my job in October 2024 and have been struggling to cover basic needs. I've gotten some help locally to keep food for the cats, but the vet care for Koda has been difficult even with a low-income clinic. His healh has been declining and I just want him to be okay.
