T’Challa is a 9 month old American Shorthair in Santa Ana, CA, who needs $8,000 for Hip and Knee Surgery.

My pet came into my life as a rescue, and since then we’ve been inseparable. I’ve always volunteered, fostered, and helped animals whenever I can, and this one became especially close to my heart. They live with me and my other pets, and they truly feel like family. Caring for them has brought me so much comfort, especially while managing anxiety during college.

My pet is currently facing an unexpected medical emergency that requires urgent treatment. The vet has confirmed that without care, their condition could quickly worsen. The estimated costs are far beyond what I can afford as a college student. I am doing everything possible to get them the care they need.

My pet has such a gentle and loving personality and is always by my side. They bring comfort during stressful moments and have helped me through anxiety more than I can explain. They love being around people and other animals, and their presence brings so much joy and calm to my daily life.

As a college student, I don’t have savings to cover a sudden emergency like this. I’ve already spent everything I can trying to help. Getting support would mean giving my pet a real chance to recover and continue being the source of comfort and love they’ve always been for m
