Trevor is an 11-month-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Monrovia, CA, who needs $595 for an echocardiogram.

Rina C. was just watching the news one day when a segment popped up about a cat at a local shelter who needed a home. She raced to her computer, contacted the rescue organization, filled out an application, and got good news: She was approved to adopt!

"He just had something about him that I was drawn to," Rina tells Waggle. "I felt like he would be a really good fit. We were excited to add a cat to our family."

Rina's hunch was right; soon after they got Trevor home, he was an instant hit with all the species in her family. "We love him to pieces," Rina tells Waggle. "My husband and I love him. Our dogs Nayla and Gizmo love to play with him."

Three weeks after she adopted him, Rina brought Trevor to his first vet appointment and got worrisome news. "The doctor said Trevor has a heart murmur, it was very loud, and he needs an echocardiogram to evaluate the severity," she says. "The test will reveal more information about his condition so the vet can decide the best treatment and if he needs medication."

When Rina heard the echocardiogram's price, she panicked; it's something her family can't afford. "I was like, 'Oh no, that's not good!' The vet is adamant about getting the echocardiogram. They don't think he will grow out of the heart murmur. Someone said, 'You could bring him back to the shelter,' and I said, 'No! I'm attached to him!'"

Rina went online looking for assistance to pay Trevor's medical bill and discovered Waggle. "I said, 'It looks like a good site.' I went ahead and put the information in to get things started. It seems like a great fit for our situation."

Now Rina hopes kind-hearted donors will help her rescue Trevor one more time. "We would love assistance to keep him healthy," she says. "When we adopted Trevor, we thought most likely he'll be fine. The shelter didn't detect his heart murmur. He's very energetic and loving. He loves to play with the dogs. He's a very loveable cat."
