Ron is a 8 year old American Shorthair in Pflugerville, TX, who needs $2,000 for Blood Panels and Liver Biopsy, Ongoing Treatment.

Ron was a rescue from Pflugerville Pets Alive (now defunct) and came to us shortly after we had tragically lost another cat. Ron Weasley came from a litter which were all named for Harry Potter characters.

Ron lives with is brother-from-another-mother Osiris (the black cat) and a queen Fiona. Ron and Osiris are inseparable, while Ron and Fiona divide the couch into their own cat countries.

Ron is suffering from liver issues. Robin, Ron’s human, took him to the vet who suggested costly procedures, or put Ron down. This devastated Robin. The second vet we saw was amazed at the idea of putting Ron down and told us we can probably save him. Robin has been feeding Ron from a syringe every 4 hours trying to bring back his appetite. Ron is being treated at Heart of Texas animal hospital.

Ron is Robin’s cat, but it’s far more accurate to say Robin is Ron’s human. Wherever she is, Ron is. Ron is in her lap, in her crochet, in her warm towels. Ron even has a special box next to Robin’s desk so he can be near her as she works. Ron never met a stranger and is a deeply loving and soft companion. Ron will often come and snuggle us at bedtime. The kids love Ron and snuggle him often.

Ron needs some costly procedures to figure out what’s wrong, from blood panels to liver biopsy. One kid is going to college shortly, and we’ve had a slew of other bills this spring, including a totaled car (new driver). We're not ready to give Ron up to the rainbow bridge.
