Loki is a 5-year-old Orange Tabby in Sarasota, FL, who needs $2,000 for x-rays, blood tests, thyroid test, and oxygen therapy.

We adopted our kitty Loki about 4 years ago from Suncost Animal League in Dunedin, FL. His name comes from Little Orange Kitty, which is exactly what he was. Just a sleepy Little Orange Kitty all alone in a shelter. He was a little under a year old when we adopted him. He became an important part of our family over these last 4 years.

His favorite game is fetching a specific bracelet that I had ever since we adopted him. No matter how far it’s thrown he will rush back with it in his mouth to be thrown again. Sometimes we think that he might have spent his first year of life near a dog because of this. He sleeps on a pillow and underneath a blanket just like a person. In the morning he wakes us up with loudest purrs.

I’ve been laid off due to COVID-19 and only recently found a new job. Being laid off put a serious strain on our savings which is why we are able to only partially cover our Loki’s medical care needs and need help fast.

Today we took Loki to a vet because he started to act differently and breathing far more rapidly than normal. The vets opinion is that he might have heart and respiratory issues that are quite severe. He requires various testing and treatment that might include a 24/7 care which is very expensive.

He has a little sister Katia, she was adopted from a different shelter about a year after him. Loki has been her mentor and her best friend all these years. As a matter of fact she repeats everything after Loki, almost mirroring him constantly. Loki is a huge fan of kitchen towels that have lemons or oranges on them. He thinks a kitchen towel is the best place to nap
