Simba is a 13 year old Ragdoll in Anderson, SC, who needs $1,750 for Wound Care and Infection Management.

Simba is like a child to my husband and I. We got him in 2011 the year my husband got out of the military. I also served along with my husband and I can wholeheartedly say I wouldn’t be here today if I didn’t Simba. He has gotten through most of the hardest, emotionally exhausting and traumatic years of my life. He sleeps on my pillow every night as if guarding me while I sleep. He’s my whole ❤️

Simba has always been a particularly allergic cat. We buy him special food for cats with sensitive skin. He’s never really been injured like this. Other than being neutered the only other injury was a wound on his leg that could have been an abscess that burst but it wasn’t diagnosed, my vet Dr. Andy at Oconee veterinary cleaned it up and gave him IM antibiotics. He was back to normal in 10 days

He’s special to my husband and I because it may sound strange, but it’s like he absorbs all our sadness. He always rushes to console me if I’m crying, he loves to headbutt and need to show us he loves us. He’s very vocal and we understand him but not like he understands us. He makes me whole and I don’t know what I would do without him. He is a part of me 4ever

Both my husband and I have fixed incomes, and can barely make ends meet. Because of our disabilities we are what’s called total and permanently unemployable by the military. When costs of living increase, our pay does not. Life is a constant financial emotional struggle.
