Shredder is a 10-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Indianapolis, IN, who needs $744 for Major Ear Polyp Removal.

Shredder has been with me since before his eyes were open. Him and his litter mates mom was killed by a raccoon in our garage. I spent that summer waking up every free hours and dropper and then bottle feeding them until they were old enough to eat on their own. He has been my baby his whole life. He is my big love bug.

Shredder loves to sleep on my head. He would sleep by my neck as a kitten and still wants to. The top of my pillow and my head is the closest he gets. When I’m upset he knows and comforts me. He comes and sits on my chest and purrs and kisses me and cuddles until I feel better. He is my best friend.

Shredders favorite place to hang out is inside the bathtub. It doesn’t matter if it’s wet or not. He also walks on a leash whenever we go somewhere. He loves his cat brother and dog sister and I frequently find them all cuddling together. Even older he is so so playful and acts like a kitten. He gives kisses too.

We’ve been dealing with this for 5 or so months. The worst for about 3. He bleeds out of his ear constantly. He has a mass that they believe is a polyp and keeps getting infected and causing him so much pain and discomfort. He has a small polyp in his other ear they’ll remove as well.

Shredder is my baby. I can’t imagine life without him. It is just me in my household and I have no help. I’m also a student while working and my funds are very tight. It would take me several months to save enough for his surgery.
