Lumos Ollivander is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Mancos, CO, who needs $2,000 for Radioactive Iodine Treatment.

Lumos Ollivander came into my life on an impulse in 2013. I had signed a new lease Monday and was headed to the humane society on Tuesday. I left with two kittens, littermates, Lumos and Oblivion. Fast forward ten years. Currently, Lumos resides in a little cabin in the woods for southwest CO. He lives with his brother, Oblivion Juan Katobe, and bestie, Itty “Bitty” Kitty Committee!

On May 2nd, Lumos went in for bloodwork and it was discovered he had hyperthyroidism. He had lost 2.5lbs since his last visit and had a notable lump in his throat.

We have been recommended to get Radioactive Iodine treatment to kill the tumor. With this tx, Lumos could be completely cured. We are in discussion with our vet at Durango Animal Hospital about in-patient facilities that provide this.

Lumos loves post-shower wet pets from my husband and morning under the cover cuddles with mom. He is Bitty’s best friend and cuddle buddy. He is DEFINITELY the Yang to Oblivion’s Yin. He loves hard pets and squishes; his favorite time of day is “squish time” in his squishmallow in front of the wood burning stove. He enjoys hovering over you while you eat and drinking out of your water cup.

With a recent job loss this unexpected expense is hitting hard. We are desperately looking for a cure rather than a “treatment”. Lumos has much more life to live, cuddles to give, closed doors to yell at, and squishes to receive.
