Luca is a 1-year-old American shorthair in West Jordan, UT, who needs $1,500 for Cross neddle.

My fiance and I got Luca from my old coworker when he was 4 month old he is now 7 months and he is one of best parts of our lives. We are currently living with a roommate and he has a little 4 month old puppy that loves to play with Luca, they became best friends fast. They love to chase each other around the house all day.

One of Luca's favorite things to do is sit in the sink and meow until you turn it on. He also loves to play fetch all day like a little puppy. Every morning when we wake up we open up the door and he will always run to me for what I like to call "mommy cuddles", and meow the whole time, gets so excited for those.

I just quit my job and we moved, so we are in a bit of a financial crisis, any donations will help so much, we can only pay for a little bit of it at this point. My fiance also has a weird heart condition so he is only working half the time.

So yesterday morning when we let him out of his room, he crawled and limped all the way to me crying the whole time and we knew something was wrong. Right way I started checking everywhere I squeezed gently, and he never once moved, cried, hissed or purred. When he moved to his side I saw that is leg was twisted. We rushed him to the hospital, they told us his leg was broken and he needs surgery.

He is definitely a big talker and cuddler. Once he gets comfortable with you, the cuddles will never end. And he loves belly rubs more than anything. If will completely fall asleep and roll on his back, once he does that its means he is giving you permission to rub his belly, but only gently he will let you know if you are doing it wrong by biting.
