Snacks is a 13 year old American Shorthair in Queens Village, NY, who needs $10,000 for CT Scan and Surgery.

I've had my sweetheart, Snacks, since she was 1 month old. Thirteen years later, she is still my affectionate little cuddlebug who is highly motivated by any opportunity for a treat, hence her name. In May 2025, I found out that her weight loss was not due to her diet finally kicking in; instead, she was not receiving proper nutrients because of a blockage in her liver and bile duct region.

On September 3, 2025, I took Snacks to Virginia Veterinary Specialists for a follow up with the internist to check for progress using an ultrasound and bloodwork. I found out that the cyst had increased in size (1.7cm - 6.4cm) and that without intervention, Snacks bodily functions will be impacted and quality of life significantly reduced. Due to the blockage, she is losing muscle mass already.

Snacks is such an amazing cat! She is besties with her sister, July, and it's clear that the two are bonded for life. Snacks loves to wake me up in the morning with nose kisses and gentle taps on my chin. She makes sure that she cuddles up next to me every night to ward off the monsters under the bed, I suppose.

The vet advised that Snacks receive a CT scan and surgical removal of the blockage. Together, the cost is nearly $10, 000. I need to do everything in my power to save her and give her the chance to continue her lively, loving, and cuddly life! She's worth more than the cost!
