Olivia is a 11-year-old Short Hair Cat in Austin, TX, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization.

Olivia and I first met at the Petsmart in New Braunfels in January 2014. I adopted her and brought her home with me January 16, 2014, and she has been the most consistent thing in my life for 10 years now. She is my girl, my pretty princess, my familiar. She has been there for my 3 year old son his entire life, and is truly such an important member of our family.

Olivia is a pretty easy-going gal; she loves to find a comfy spot to lounge in, and if it's in a sunny patch, that's even better. She is incredibly sweet and affectionate, but very choosy with who she shows that side to. If you're lucky, she'll climb right into your lap with the rumbliest purrs.

One of my favorite things about her, is typically if I sit or lay down somewhere, she will be there in 60 seconds or less to be with me, immediately purring away. If I'm reclined at all, she'll be laying on my chest and shoulder, rubbing her face into mine and licking my chin and cheeks. She is absolutely the sweetest cat I have ever known.

Olivia suddenly became lethargic, and began sneezing. At the time, I didn't think too much of it; I took her to Thrive Pet Healthcare, where she was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and we began treatment, though she quickly declined. It was recommended we take her to Heart of Texas Veterinary Specialty Center in Round Rock TX, and she remains there in critical condition.

The cost of her care has been tremendous; over $5000 so far, and I have unfortunately run out of options. I can't give up on her. I'm not ready to lose her, and I don't think she's ready to go yet. We just really both need help.
