About this campaign

I rescued Leon Tigs III 12 years ago from an out of state animal shelter. I'll never forget that moment when we connected. They had named him Tigs. He was different then the others! He was alert, spunky and soo persistent. "Let Me-Owt!” When we were on our way home, Kings of Leon was on the radio. My little Royal's name would be Leon Tigs III. We ventured home to RI together.

We had been so happy together until Xmas 2025, when we discovered that Leon had advanced stage multiple myeloma, a rare cat cancer. He was deteriorating by the day with heart viscosity and moderate/severe anemia which involves extreme difficulty breathing. During Christmas week alone I spent $2,500! They were finally able to administer a chemo pill to him at Oceanstate ER. And, it's working!

My baby, my 'emotional support animal', Leon who is now in his own medical journey has stood by his mom's side through her own medical journey since 2013. I suffer from genetic rare chronic illnesses and little Leon is my best friend. Leon loves politics and is especially attentive to Breaking News on tv. He loves sunbathing on the deck, boxes of all sizes, jazz music, tuna, and cheese!

Leon has made light years of progress in 7 weeks time on a chemo pill & corticosteroid.

A miracle considering euthanasia was considered in December. I am overwhelmed with his medical bills on top of my medical bills. Treating Leon's cat cancer this year will be expensive!
