Snickers is a 10-month-old American Shorthair Kitten in Okc, OK, who needs $1,509 for Amputation.

Snickers showed up at our apartment one day and walked in the house like she owned the place. She stayed with us for a couple weeks before we found out the neighbors who she belonged to were moving and couldn't keep her. She was officially ours after sleeping with my daughters every night. She owns the top bunk.

Snicks loves to play. She loves her cat laser and she loves to bat around dum-dum lollipops. My daughters attempt to play fetch with their unicorn slippers but she hasn't learned to bring it back yet. She wakes me up at 5am to cuddle, get her scratches and petting. She's super sweet when she's hungry. If you scratch a certain area on her back she flops over to get a belly rub.

We gave Snickers a middle name, "flop". When she's tired she literally flops over on the floor. She lays on the ottoman and stares at you upside. When she wants to go outside, she walks around the couch like a tiger in a cage and if you don't let her out she runs from one end of the house to the other, doing a cannonball on you, on the couch till she goes out

Snickers was in great health till she came back one morning with a broken leg. She hobbled to the back door, barely making a sound, with a clean broken back leg. My girls were frantic, my youngest was screaming, "she can't walk." It was a difficult situation. We took her to the animal hospital and the prognosis is good if we can get an amputation or surgery.

My husband and I have just bought a new home in cash through our 401k and live in a small apartment. We don't have great credit to pull out loans or credit cards. We love Snickers very much. Everyone in the family caters to her and cuddles her. She is a part of this family.
