Skyler is a 12 year old American Shorthair in Athens, AL, who needs $650 for Abdominal Ultrasound, Medication & Follow-up Care.

Skyler has been with us since the day she was born. Her mother was a rescue, and from the moment Skyler came into this world, I knew she was meant to stay with me. She has always been a sweet, gentle soul with a quiet strength that makes her very special.Over the years, she has been my shadow—always nearby, offering comfort and companionship through life’s ups and downs.

Recently, Skyler’s health has declined. She has lost a dramatic amount of weight despite her increased appetite, and she cries out in pain after meals. She has also stopped grooming herself, which tells me just how uncomfortable she must be. Dr. Jessica Tully at Southpaw Animal Clinic in Madison, Alabama, has ruled out parasites and thyroid issues. The next step is an abdominal ultrasound.

Skyler has always had a quiet magic about her. She doesn’t clamor for attention, but she makes her presence known in the softest ways. She greets me with gentle head bumps, curls up nearby while I work, and follows me from room to room. She has a way of knowing when I’m upset—she’ll press her forehead against me as if she’s reminding me that I’m not alone.Her favorite pastime is birdwatching.

Skyler is my once-in-a-lifetime companion. She’s in so much pain, and because I was laid off and my husband's COPD prevents him from working, we can’t afford the treatment.Your support will make a direct impact on Skyler’s life so she can feel comfortable and cherished.
