Sam is a 8 year old American Shorthair in Roaring Brook Township, PA, who needs $2,000 for Radiotherapy.

My sweet baby boy Sam is only 8 years old.
I’ve had him all his life.
He came to me as a palm sized kitten and is still my cuddle bug at 18 pounds.
Sam has been my best friend all his life. He is a sweet and caring brother to his 4 other kitty siblings, his younger sister, Ginger, in particular is tied to his side and vice versa. I don’t know what she or I would do without him.

A few months back I discovered a lump on Sams head. I brought him to his vet and they declared it cancerous and scheduled to remove. He got his surgery. Now, I have been recommended to follow up with an oncologist. At his oncology consult, they informed me the cancer is still present, is terminal and needs radiotherapy in order to give Sam more years to be loved. Otherwise his time left is unknown

Sam is so special to me. I call him my little cow because of his tuxedo coat color. He is always by my side, snuggling in bed, watching me do dishes, “helping” with chores aka staring at me or sleeping near me, watching tv shows/ movies just enjoying the time we spend together. He is a very relaxed kitty until his younger sister comes to bother him and he agrees to run around with her for a while.

I work full time, overtime, everything I can do I do and it’s all for him. I don’t know what I would do if my baby was lost to cancer. He’s so young and should have so much more time to be loved and spoiled every day. I want to give him that. The radiotherapy is $17,000.
