Oscar is a 5 Year Old Mix-Breed in Sellersburg , IN, Who Needs $1,200 for Biopsy and Surgery.

Oscar came into our lives in 2020 as a foster. A friend of ours had kittens and couldn't find homes for them all. Instead of sending him to a shelter, I offered to foster him. It didn't take long for him to become a foster fail. He is the sweetest scaredy cat ever!

A few months ago I noticed 3 small lumps on Oscar's rear leg. I didn't think anything of it, but then a month or so after, I noticed them getting bigger and joining into 1 bigger lump. After 2 failed attempts to aspirate them due to them being too hard, the vet decided the only option is to do a biopsy and then ultimately surgery to remove them. It may end up in an amputation, but I'm praying not.

It is impossible to describe Oscar. He is so gentle with humans and will run and hide from people he's scared of. Him and Snuggle Bug (Elly's cat) have become so close in the last year. I'm not sure what each would do without the other, honestly. Oscar is my covid cat, my gentle giant, foster fail, and big baby boy.

I have part of the money needed to get Oscar his biopsy. But with the holidays and other life issues (house and car issues), it's difficult to come up with the rest for the surgery . Knowing he could get the surgery and hopefully, a clean bill of health would be a relief.
