Rickie is a 3 year old American Longhair in Henderson, NC, who needs $7,000 for Emergency Linear Foreign Body.

Rickie was a stray we foster failed about 3 years ago. She is the sweetest most beautiful "baby kitty". She has two calico sisters, one cockerpoo sister and one human brother who all adore her. She is the "baby" of the family!! She loooves a treat and will chase you around the house meowing super loud until you go to the kitchen with her and give her a treat.

She is currently waiting on emergency surgery in Durham NC at Triangle Vet Referral Hospital. This all started on the morning of 4/19! I woke up early am expecting to have three cats at my bedroom door meowing for food. When I realized Rickie wasn't there I panicked. Once I found her she wanted nothing to do with treats for food. I knew at that point this was NOT GOOD.

Rickie escaped about a year ago and was gone for months. Our family was lost without her. She finally found her way back and hasn't tried to get away since. I think she realizes she wasn't made for the streets.

The surgery is going to cost between $7-$9k. There was not a question on doing to surgery to save her. Now the question is how to pay for it. My goal is to raise any amount I can to help!
