Lulu is a 7 year old Standard Chinchilla in Chicago, IL, who needs $1,480 for Surgery.

Lulu has been a part of my life since day one. My dad and I built her a special two-floor home to welcome her, and ever since I’ve been the one to care for her, celebrate every birthday, and make sure she always feels safe and loved. She means the world to me, and I’m her sole provider.

Lulu recently had an abscess drained, but it’s suspected there is a lump underneath that needs surgical removal. The procedure includes anesthesia, monitoring, and a biopsy to confirm whether it’s only infection or something more serious. The cost estimate is $1,475–$1,480.

Lulu isn’t just a pet—she’s family. She has a curious, gentle spirit and has been my companion through all of life’s ups and downs. She loves her routines, enjoys her treats, and has a way of brightening every day. Her little quirks make her truly special, and our bond is unbreakable.

I’m Lulu’s only caregiver. I’ve already spent $700 on her first treatment and can contribute what I can, but I can’t cover the $1,475 surgery she now needs. Having her healthy again would mean everything—she’s my family, my joy, and deserves proper care.
