Sophie is a 13 year old American Shorthair in Brunswick, ME, who needs $2,000 for Intravenous Fluid Therapy.

This is our Sophie, a rescue from Times Square, NYC who is adorable, loving and intelligent. She hates no one. She is very vocal and has the ability to hold a conversation with you if you try. Chasing and playing fetch are also things she has mastered. She gets along with our cat Miles, our dog Lulu and any person who gives her attention. Her presence fills voids. She has a perfect button nose :)

Sophie was recently diagnosed with diabetes and immediately after developed Feline Diabetic Ketoacidosis which is a medical emergency requiring aggressive fluid treatment and a hospital stay of 2-4 days with progress. She is currently progressing at Portland Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care which is in Portland, Maine. She went from critical to stable overnight and and of on a path to recovery

Sophie is the center of attention. Her ability to hold a conversation with people is something we’ve never seen. She loves cuddles and her demeanor brings joy to everyone. You can tell through her eyes she sees the world differently. While playing fetch with a friend she once jumped on top of a six ft shelf and got her toy! My friend then says: “you ever see a ******dog do that?” The answer was no

This all came so sudden. I do have a job but I’ve already taken out loans and borrowed a lot. As a 42 year old man with no kids, my fur babies are all I really have and I’m asking for help humbly and with great humility. She is a blessing to everyone and will make you smile.
