Maui is a 11-year-old Siamese in Bakersfield, CA, who needs $2,000 for Mass Removal.

Maui was a rescue, she was being used as a breeder before we got her, the original owners were going to toss Maui into the street if we didn't take her in. Once we got the chunky kitty, she was spayed and given so much love, love that she was missing out on. Maui has been with us since I was in middle school, and has been my companion since then.

Maui is a calm but bratty kitty, always yelling at us with her little tuna breath for head pats and attention. She is a loving elderly kitty with the heart of a kitten, she loves taking naps in the sun and running around the rooms with her toys, screaming for us to play with her. We spoil her with lots of attention and love, which she returns with her little kneads and purrs.

Maui is a big talker, she is always screaming 'mah!' at us with her little crusty voice, she knows we love hearing her so she is always yelling for something, be it treats, food, or attention. She loves carrying her plushies around to drop at our feet as if she's bringing us sustenance, her meows get even louder when she's bringing dinner so all we hear is screaming.

Maui had a little lump on her tummy that began growing a while ago, we couldn't get it taken care of then and it's a struggle to get it taken care of now. Maui was playing with a toy and plopped onto her side, causing the lump to burst and bleed. We have been bandaging and cleaning her little wound, but she needs it removed ASAP.

We barely saved up some money and were thankfully able to take her to VCA to get her checked out and receive an estimate. The estimate is much more than expected, and though it isn't a life threatening condition, it is important to get the mass removed.
