Spooky is a 10-year-old Domestic Short Hair in Michigan City , IN, who needs $260 for Bloodwork/X-Rays.

We rescued Spooky and her twin sister in November of 2009. She was only 6 months old and wasn’t wanted by the owner of the mother cat. He left them outside to fend for themselves. They were very friendly and playful and we couldn’t just turn our backs on them. We brought them home and they have been an important part of our family since then. We love them very much.

Spooky and her twin sister Pumpkin are very close. They eat, sleep, and play together. More times than not they are cuddled up together in their bed and you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. If they’re not sleeping they’ll be curled up cleaning each other. Spooky also loves to cuddle up with her humans and loves attention. I often wake up in the mornings with her laying on me.

We were living paycheck to paycheck before the Covid 19 shutdown and now, with reduced income, bills are piling up. We have no savings and were declined for credit help. I can’t let the worst happen to Spooky because we don’t have money for something that is treatable.

Recently she had an anal sac rupture, when she was weighed she was about 2 pounds lighter than her last visit. Bloodwork was done and she was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. She’s taking medication now and has gained some weight back but now has another problem. She isn’t eating much and is vomiting daily. It’s been a week now and needs to go to the Michigan City Animal Hospital ASAP.

Spooky is a cuddler, especially in bed and whenever she lays on me she wants to be petted. If I stop she gently puts her paw on my face and seems to pet me until I start petting her again. One weird thing she does is she likes to maintain eye contact when I’m petting her.If I look away she puts her paw on my face until I look at her again. It always makes me laugh.
