Theo is a 2-year-old Siamese/Mix in Hamilton, ON, who needs $699 for testing, diagnostics, and surgery.

I truly believe Theo was brought to me by the universe which is what I told everyone the minute I found him at my doorstep. It was 2am, usually by this point I’m fast asleep, but I decided to go sit outside. As I opened the door I seen these piercing blue eyes staring back at me. He was so desperate for food and shelter I knew i had to take this baby in.

Theo and my other cat Aspen got along from the second Theo was brought into our lives, they are brothers. Aspen has taken over the “parental” role to Theo, always taking care of him. Theo loves to cuddle he will curl right up with you, doesn’t matter how seemingly uncomfortable it is he loves to be close and to give all the love he has. He is so unbelievably sweet, so precious he melts my heart.

This bill was extremely costly and not affordable to me in the slightest. I’m due to move into a new place with my daughter in less than a week. I had to take out a $900 loan in order to get him the care he needs. Times are tough for us all right now.

Theo fell ill. As cats do, he was able to hide it so well. It breaks my heart to know the last bit of strength my baby had, he would come to me for love and comfort. Theo had an obstruction to his intestines and needed emergency surgery from the Hamilton Regional Emergency Clinic. He needed life saving treatments from x-rays, IV’s, hospitalization, and pain medications.

If you get real close to Theo, he will kneel his head down for you to kiss his forehead every single time. Theo is so sweet with my three year old daughter, he loved her right away. When most cats would be taken aback by kids, he was right curled up into her during her nap getting cuddles in, on his third day with us after we brought him in. I’ve never seen a cat be so tolerant and loving.
