Minky is a 2.5-year-old Longhair Cat in Middletown, CT, who needs $2,000 for Overnight Hospitalization.

I got Minky is 2021 from a shelter. My boyfriend who I lived with was being deployed and Minky became my new roommate. He was the shyest kitty in the shelter, so scared, but someone needed to give him a chance and that was me. My baby hid for a couple of weeks but eventually came around and became the most cuddly and affectionate cat I’ve ever known.

He loves chasing little balls around the house and attacking my feet while I sleep. His favorite activity though is probably snuggling up to me on the couch so I can pet under his chin. Or making biscuits on the pillow and leaving a little puddle of drool haha. He loves to set a good example for the little brother, Winston.

Minky loves chasing fish when I play videos on my phone and he plays tug of war with my other cat with a shoe string too. He is super food driven and comes running when it's meal time or if he hears his treats bag. He's super super shy but he is coming around to other people and wants to be the center of attention, which is why he always joins my work Zoom calls.

He got into Stargazer Lilies- a highly toxic flower. I had to rush both of my cats to the emergency room, where they were admitted and will remain for a few days to undergo treatment. My shy little babies are all alone there and it breaks my heart. I just hope they’re okay.

I live alone and the hospitalization treatment is running me over six grand. That’s a hugely significant fee for a single person income to tackle. I’d give anything to have them better. The house is too quiet without them.
