Stella is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Tampa , FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

We rescued Stella in 2020. She was only 4lbs and had a lot of medical issues. One by one, we took care of them. She had a horrible sinus infection, random infections and illness due to malnutrition.

In 2023 we noticed a mass on her abdomen. We rushed her to All Pet Care in Clearwater. We did a few tests, she was diagnosed with a UTI and sent home. In February of 2024, Stella’s mass became larger. We rushed to the vet where they had it biopsies. Nothing malignant or cancerous came up. We waited until after our wedding to have it removed. We sent it to pathology and told us it was cancer.

Stella has greeted so many dogs and cats that we brought in to foster: She is always the first to greet, the first to purr, and the first to love on you. She completes this family, our family.

Stella is only 5 years old. What kills us is due to the kind of cancer she has she has a high prevent chance of a 5 year survival rate if treatment is done completely. However, the treatment includes: surgery, radiation and maybe chemo.
