Lucy is a 1-year-old Domestic Longhair Cat in Springfield, MO, who needs $320 for Exam Due to Illness and Spay Surgery.

Lucy became a part of our life officially July 8th, 2021. She was a stray born in my backyard and I was already falling in love with her before I finally took her in because of tornado warnings. I had so badly wanted to rescue her before that but I did not want to take her from her Mom. I posted a picture of what she looked like the day she came inside. We have a nice loving home, big fenced yard

The cutest story about her name is we named her after ‘Lucy’ in 50 first dates because everyday for weeks we had to remind her who we were every morning. Then she would be at ease. Lucy always sleeps at the end of my bed or my sons. She always follows me everywhere. Her favorite treats are the Sheba sticks. She wants you toss them so she can catch I’m in the air. It’s so cute. Our family loves her

Lucy still is timid around strangers. She loves my 6 year old son and gets excited when she hears his bus. But she is very shy and timid which is my biggest fear trying to rehome her, which is my LAST resort. She’s our family. I’m a stay at home mom and I’m with her every day. She loves to have her belly rubbed, and when I sleep she falls asleep above my head with her paw on me every night.

When I rescued Lucy, I had an appt. scheduled in October 2021 to have her spayed. I lost my aunt to Covid and life kind of paused for a while. She helped raised me and was like my 2nd mom…following February my nephew died tragically. Lucy then got pregnant so she still has not got spayed. Now she has fell ill. I am reaching out for help. I don’t want to lose her

It would mean everything in the world to me to not lose her. I lost 3 loved ones this year and Lucy saved me more than I did her. . And I can’t afford to treat her right now. She’s throwing up, diarrhea, urinating and pooping everywhere. I have contacted every resource.
