Magneto is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Virginia Beach, VA, who needs $2,000 for Brain MRI.

In spring 2014 a local Italian woman's cat wandered away, returning with a litter of kittens. She was unable to care for them and in the box one kitten stood out among the rest, It was love at first sight. My husband, decided to name him Magneto, a name that seemed fitting for a little creature with both mischievous and loving qualities. From that moment on, Magneto became a member of our family.

Maggo has lost his hearing and more recently developed some balance issues. After a trip to our vet we were referred to SEVN as something more sinister seemed to be at play. After our initial visit we were told his loss of balance among other serious symptoms points to a defect in his brain most likely a tumor or an infection. He now requires an MRI of his brain so he may be diagnosed and treated.

Maggo was our emotional support during the loss of my first dog, who took it upon herself to train him as a kitten. Thus Maggo has inherited many dog-like traits which shape his unique personality. Fast forward, and Maggo has become my son's best friend, they spend every minute together. His presence is a reminder of the joy and love that pets bring into our lives, making each day brighter.

We always have an pet emergency fund, but the near $6000 for his MRI and unknown treatment cost is more than we had planned for. Our upcoming move and our recent auto/ home loan leaves us in a tight financial spot. Please help our sweet boy with his imaging and treatment.
