Sprinkles is a 11 year old American Shorthair in Altamonte Springs, Florida, FL, who needs $2,000 for Electrochemotherapy (Surgery) or Chemotherapy.

Sprinkles was born in a small box in my closet eleven years ago. His mother is my daughter's cat Sammy, and we were so excited for that day! Sammy had three kittens, and I decided I would adopt two of them out, and keep one just for me. The one I bonded with almost immediately was Sprinkles, and I've had him ever since. He & Sammy live with me in my condo where they get lots of wet food & treats.

When his illness first began, it looked like nothing more than a small nick on his nose. You can see it from earlier pictures. It slowly began growing larger. We brought him to his veterinarian who advised that a sample of the growth be sent for analysis. This is when I learned that he had Squamous Cell Carcinoma. We were then referred to the Animal Cancer Care Clinic to see an oncologist.

Some things that are special about Sprinkles is that he is so responsive to my voice, and knows it's me even if he can't see me. He loves to lay down over my shoulder when I'm relaxing in bed, and just purrs contently. Sometimes he's naughty too, and swats at my leg as I'm walking past him. He never has his claws out, though because he's just a good boy at heart.

I'm disabled, and live on a fixed income. I go without things to make sure my pets have what they need, and I'm more than happy to do so. The chemotherapy & Electrochemotherapy the oncologist is advising are just above and beyond what I can afford. He needs treatment soon!
