Marco is a 1-year-old Domestic short-hair cat in Laporte, IN, who needs $450 for Emergency surgery .

We got Marco and his brother polo after our cat cloudy passed away.. they were on Facebook and we got them. They are a year old. They live with 3 guinea pigs,2 chinchillas and a German shorthair pointer.. 3 adults and a 15 year old. We are a animal loving family and always have pets. They are both very much connected to each other. Always together,

Both cats are crazy.. Marco likes to meet in the bathroom while your doing your business.. he jumps in your lap and it’s cuddle time.. he also likes to jump on your back if you make the mistake of bending over if he is near.. he’s nice to everyone else but on moms back he turns circles and bites me.. cause that’s funny apparently.

My husband doesn’t work so I support our family and pets. I take care of my 105 year old grandma. And get about 34 hrs a week. Marco is not only special to us but also to his brother. He is the emotional support animal for my 15 year old daughter..

One Friday the 22nd Marco got sick. He was fine in the morning ate breakfast. Family said he stayed on there beds all day, ( I worked all day) and that night he wouldn't eat. He was also lethargic.
The vet at New Carlisle Animal Clinic said he had a infection and his colon was dark and almost like it was dying and he had never seen anything like it.

Marco is the cuddly one he talks to me in the mornings he loves everyone.. he’s a picky eater. His brother Polo complete opposite. Marco likes to play fetch with hair ties. He will bring the back to you if you throw them.. he likes to also drop things in his water dish. He likes to jump on your back if you make the mistake of bending over and he is near you..
