Tinky Winky is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Inwood, WV, who needs $1,500 for Emergency.

Tinky chose us and came into our lives as a result of being a kitten born to a stray. The former caretaker was planning on having them all taken to the shelter to be put down. We fell in love with her at first sight, her little attitude mixed with playfulness. There are 2 disabled individuals in the household, she has 5 human siblings and 2 cat sisters, and 1 dog she tolerates in her life.

Two days ago Tinky started showing signs of being ill , the nurse at the Vet said it sounded like allergies. Now we have a kitty that has goop coming from her left eye and a brownish discharge on the right side of her mouth. She is drinking water but not eating, her attitude seems sad and she just looks thin. Vally Animal Hospital will see her but the amount is beyond my means.

My cat has helped my 15 year old with her depression, she is a constant companion who knows when someone just needs a purr and cuddle. She has 2 cat sisters and she has nurtured and been there for them. She is not just a cat to us she is a friend, family member and even medical device. She cant turn the worst day into sunshine and make you laugh and smile with her antics.

I am disabled so is my son, My daughter has insulin resistant diabetes. We live month to month and even though I do have some money in savings but its not enough for even a visit. This cat is our world. our family. I would trade my own for hers if I could.
