Tony is a 1-year-old Tabby in Telford, TN, who needs $400 for round worms.

I was at the local shelter and I wasn't technically looking for a pet at that exact moment, but I walked into the room and I immediately seen Tony and I knew he was the perfect fit for me, he was in a cage along with his mother and brother (i ended up going back 2 weeks later and getting both of them as well). Tony is the absolute sweetest baby anyone could ask for.

Tony is the funniest cat, he will nibble on fingers to get you to pet him, he rolls around in front of you as you walk to get your attention, he loves sleeping on the pillow with you, his favorite treat is wet food, he has a cute squeaky meow, he's an all around goofball. He loves being around anyone and everyone he meets, he is the most loving cat I've ever known.

I have a back issue and am not able to work at the moment. Covid has unfortunately put a stop on my income due to not being able to go out and about like I was. Having Tony healthy means the world to me due to me having mental issues, he helps me more than he will ever know.

Tony has had round worms for roughly 2 months now, and the otc worm meds are not helping at all. I have tried several different otc meds with him and nothing is working to get rid of them. My vet is Pinecrest in Johnson city TN, they haven't given me an exact estimate yet due to me not being able to cover the initial visit cost.

Tony makes me laugh everyday by nibbling your finger tips to get you to pet him, he loves to try and hold me down by laying on my lap and meowing at me when I try to get up, when he's hungry he will come to me and roll around acting like he's trying to play but will then go to his room and show me his bowl. (Yes him, his brother, and sister have their own room)
