Luna is a 9 Year Old Mix-Breed in Chelsea, ME, Who Needs $2,000 for Unilateral Mastectomy.

Luna has been with us for 8.5 years. I took her and her brother in when a coworker was moving and could not take them with her. I had just lost the cat I had since I was a teenager, so I originally said no, but after meeting them both, I knew it was meant to be.

I brought Luna to Androscoggin Animal Hospital in Topsham, ME after feeling a lump on her belly. She was found to have a mass on her mammary chains, which in cats is cancer 90% of the time. It currently includes two of her mammary chains on one side, but is known to be fast-growing and to spread to lymph nodes and lungs. She needs a mastectomy as soon as possible, before it has a chance to spread.

Luna is such a special girl. She loves to cuddle and be held; she would love for me to carry her around all day if I could. She loves meeting new people and if anything interesting is going on, she has to be right in the middle of it checking it out.

We currently only have one income due to health issues. We also lost one of our three cats just 3 days before we got Luna's likely cancer diagnosis, after spending what we had trying to save him. We are so worried we will lose her too if she can't have her surgery.
