Lilo is a 1-year-old Striped Tabby in Edison, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Brain Surgery due to complications of Hydrocepahlus.

Lilo is a 1 yr 11 month, tiny 5.5 lb. failure to thrive kitten with Hydrocephaus & many other disorders, relinquished to the SHAHS sanctuary on 8/17/19 in severe crisis. She was admitted to our hospital & had a human pediatric shunt implanted which failed, so a second was implanted on 10/8/19. The shunt saved her life by draining excess fluid from her brain! She now lives with the Pres. of SHAHS.

Lilo lives with 3 humans, 4 Hydro brothers, 5 other special needs cats & 2 senior dogs. She is a silly, loving & pampered little Princess who is doted on 24/7; she demands constant attention! You can always find her in someone's lap or arms, or following mom around screaming to be picked up! She is definitely mommy's little girl, a diva for sure & makes sure everyone knows it! Lilo is a miracle.

SHAHS is a nonprofit rescue sanctury operating solely on donations. For the first time, we're struggling due to the Covid Pandemic; we don't have the funds for her surgery! Lilo is the heart & soul of SHAHS & has fought so hard to survive! We aren't going to let her down !

Lilo has Hydrocephalus ( aka water on the brain), Syringohydromyelia (excess cerebrospinal fluid pressing/damaging her spinal cord), Syringobulbia (CSF under her brain pressing on brain stem) , Megacolon, chronic inflammation of abdominal organs (Triaditis), maxillofacial deformities, bilateral Entropion (repaired), etc. Her neurosurgeon is Eric Glass @ Red Bank Veterinary Hosp, Tinton Falls, NJ.

Lilo is an adorable, silly, loyal, loving, one of a kind special needs cat who is incredibly tiny at only 5.5 lbs but has a HUGE personality! She gives kisses on command & is happy spending her day lounging next to mommy on the couch! She plays This Little Piggy on her toes with you & loves when mom plays Do, Re, Mi on her belly! When she's being silly, she flips onto her back for belly rubs
