Tessa is a 9 month old American Shorthair in lansdale, PA, who needs $2,000 for Cystotomy.

My name is Tessa. I live in a second floor one bedroom apartment with my mommy. I am nine years old. It has been almost a year since i felt good. I am normally happy and playful.

Mommy took me to the vet last april Telford Vetinary Hospital and it was discovered that the root cause of my UTI was bladder stones. I have since been on a special diet, but sadly the stones are not shrinking. Mommy can't afford the surgery and I am always sick. I want so much to feel better so that I can get back to playing with the laser as well as my toy mouse.

Because i haven't been feeling well, I tend to be a bit temperamental. But, normally I am a very sweet cat. I love to play and I'm very affectionate. I still love lap-time with mommy.

Mommy is on a very fixed income. Because rents are so high she has not been able to afford the premiums needed for pet insurance. NOone expected that I would get so sick. Mommy loves me and wants me to feel better more than anything in the world.
