Ralphie is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Kettering, , who needs $2,000 for TDL and Parotidectomy.

Ralphie came in my life at a very crucial time. After the passing of my dad & cat 3months later, Ralphie, has been my rock during all hard times. We brought his sister home 2weeks later knowing Ralphie would be happier and healthier with a playmate. They have such a strong bond. Always loving, cleaning, cuddling, and playing. Ralph had the name when we got him. I thought it fit perfect, so kept it

Ralphie, has a medical condition that requires surgery. He was Diagnosed with idiopathic Chylothorax on June 14. He has endured 7 needle taps to both of his lungs to remove the fluid. He has had CT stand, x-rays, bloodwork, ultrasound, and seen cardiologist. That has said he needs to have surgery ASAP because needle taps are causing scoring to his lungs. OSU vet plans on doing the surgery August12

Ralphie has such a strong bond with his whole family. He loves his sister from his same litter. He runs to me when I come home to give me love. He cuddles with me every night. He loves bathwater and going outside playing with bugs (indoor cat). He loves my son and always loves rubbing on his legs and getting padding from him. Some nights, he takes his paws and knocks on my sons door to cuddle him

He means the world to my family and I. Our hearts have been crushed since 6/14. I have spent my savings & maxed out my credit on chest taps and test. Now he’s needing surgery and I’m in a hole. Your help could save Ralph, and would mean the world to him and his family.
