Tivali is a 1-year-old Sphynx in East Bethel, MN, who needs $2,000 for toxoplasmosis, CT scan, mycoplasma.

I've been researching the breed and have always wanted a Sphynx. My husband finally agreed. She was born in January 2021 and we had to wait 4 long months until she was old enough to leave her mama and siblings. A lady 6 hours from me reached out saying she had kittens that were soon ready. A month later we met up. I was almost home when she started sneezing and coughing violently. I knew something was wrong.

She's been locked up in her own bedroom without the freedom to roam the house since the day I got her. I have added a door in my basement living area to keep the cats separated so she has some room to get some exercise. She's so cuddly and lovable. It hurts my heart to keep her locked up in a small room.

She loves my dog and son to pieces. She's only able to interact with them as our vet has recommended to keep her away from my other cat as she's contagious. I've never had a more lovable, affectionate kitty in my whole life. She's my dream baby and it hurts my heart to see her suffering and no light at the end of the tunnel.

I got her in the beginning of June and she's had health issues ever since. The day I got her she was wheezing and breathing really hard. I asked the woman I got her from when this started and only answer I got was, "its from the A/C in the car and she's probably stressed, it's not anything to worry about." Long story short, she's been sick since day one. The breeder refused to give my money back.

I'm a stay at home mom and my husband can't help with her vet bills as he's already paying for our house, my son's needs and everything else. I'm unable to work because we can't afford daycare!
