Lillie is a 15-year-old American Shorthair Cat in Banner Elk, NC, who needs $200 for Head Infection.

Lillie is my special angel. She adopted me. My neighbor in Ohio would not let her inside even in the winter so she turned feral. Took me 3 months for her to come to me and let me pet her on the head. Now she very spoiled rotten. She stays inside most of the time. She loves laying beside me in bed. And of course loves butting my head to pet her.

Lillie is the queen of the household. She doesn't put up with anything. She looks just like the grumpy cat when something is not going her way. We also have 3 more cats and 4 dogs. She gets along with all of them but if they make her mad, she will smack them. Lillie is momma's baby. I love spoiling her.

Lillie is special because she chose me. She is the most loving caring cat I have ever had. Whenever I'm down or not feeling well, she is right there by my side and stays with me all day. She brighten my day with that special look that says I love you momma. Lillie likes to go outside during the day when it's warm.

Lillie has a heart murmur but that doesn't stop her. A few days ago I noticed that she had mucus in one of her eyes and black under her mouth. I took a warm wash cloth and got the mucus out of her eye and the black around her mouth. Now she has one eye closed and the other one has mucus in it and the black ring is back.

I'm on disability which is not a lot to live on. Lillie needs to go to the vet very soon to take care of this mess. I hate asking for help but this is my baby girl and she means so much to me
