Nuki is a 15 month old American Shorthair in Durham , NC, who needs $837 for Fluids, Anti-Nausea & Anti-Inflammatory Medication.

I met this rascal last February when he was only 6 months old at the shelter. It only took a brief
interaction for me to fall in love with him and the next day, he was arriving at his new home. When the shelter informed me his previous owner was neglectful enough to not go looking for him, I knew that I would give up my life for this special little guy.

Shortly after I adopted Nuki, he suddenly contracted a fever and dehydration. His past medical history is sadly long yet vague. Due to his previous neglect, exposure to viruses and allergens with no vaccinations resulted in him having chronic ear infections. Without thought, I took him to an emergency clinic where they treated him. That is how I found myself unable to finish paying a $800+ bill.

I named Nuki after my favorite childhood movie, My Neighbor Totoro, about a friendly tanuki (Japanese forest spirit) that is only visible to those with vivid imagination. He has brought the same wonderment and joy into my life that I will forever cherish. Nuki currently receives love from myself and my mom at home, while entertaining himself with the birds and squirrels on the enclosed patio.

With the current state of this economy, I have tried and failed to find a second job to pay off his bills.
Financial help would ensure I do not go into thousands of debt as a result of surpassing the 6 month promotional deferred interest deadline.
