Riley is a 8-year-old Mix in Las Vegas, NV, who needs $2,000 for MRI.

Riley was an owner surrender due to her previous owners having divorced and neither wanting her around to stir up painful memories. However love will always find a way and I rescued Riley from the AF here in Las Vegas on Valentine's Day 2014 as a Valentine's Day gift to my boyfriend of 1 year (and myself!).

This sweet girl has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving and has brought eight years' worth of love to our lives. Riley has always been full of energy and charisma, and is our comedic relief during these hard times. She is loyal and sweet, loves cuddling, and is an amazing sister to her rescue brother, Boss, and her four feline siblings, Indie, Alex, Chewie, and Kitten, too.

Riley has taken after her cat siblings and LOVES to chase laser beams, but any beam of light will do! She is all legs, and loves to sit in human chairs, often noodling herself into pretzel like positions. She's also incredibly photogenic, and loves to stick her tongue out at the photographer, the 'blep' being her signature photobomb.

Recently, Riley had stopped using one of her hind legs, her limp turning to complete lameness within two weeks. Our regular vet suggested a neurology consult at LVVSC after hitting dead-ends on x-rays and physical exams. During the consult, Dr. Gietzen at LVVSC determined it was likely that Riley's lameness was caused by a cancerous tumor in her leg.

In 2020, Riley had other non-related medical issues. Turns out, she was just allergic to chicken meat, however the clinic visits and testing that ensued forced me to max out my CareCredit at $4000, as well as my boyfriend's CareCredit as well.
