Sven is a 7 month old American Shorthair in CHARLOTTE, NC, who needs $2,000 for Cardiologist, Oxygen Treatment, 24/7 Care.

Sven is an indoor only cat that came into existence by sheer chance of us catching his formerly very feral (VERY pregnant) mom (who we also ended up keeping). Sven resides in a home full of love and LOTS of cat hair.

Sven, a 7-month-old kitten, suddenly developed severe respiratory distress on December 31st. Rushed to intensive care, he's been in an oxygen chamber for six days. Specialists are investigating potential causes like heart failure, asthma, or heart defect. Multiple tests and treatments ongoing, with hope for recovery.

Sven is a vital part of our little family (5 cats, 2 dogs + feral cat community + fosters). Sven is the glue that holds our family together - bringing joy to the days that aren't so bright. He loves to drag around wand toys and drop them at our feet, subtly letting us know he is ready to play. Sven loves to cuddle with one of our rescue cats Parsnip, AKA Papa Parsnip, and eat a good snack or three

Sven's unexpected medical crisis has left us facing overwhelming veterinary bills. As dedicated cat lovers who usually help others, we're now in the difficult position of needing assistance.
