Valcor is a 13 year old Mix-Breed in Bothell, WA, who needs $2,000 for Ketoacidosis (DKA) Treatment/Diabetic Treatments..

I found Valcor thanks to his sister Hanabi. Their mother had them in our shed and Hanabi came out of it to investigate. That is when I saw them. I chose to adopt her first and wasn't sure on Valcor. But when he fell ill as a kitten, we took him to the vet and, instead of being scared, he curled up into my arms and purred. He's been with me since. I named him after the dragon in Never Ending Story.

I took Valcor to Juanita Bay Veterinary Hospital. They took some tests and urged me to take him to Animal Care Center of Seattle's ER section due to his test results. He has an unknown situation in his lungs (asthma or an infection) and has ketoacidosis. His blood sugar was 478 when normal is between 100-150. They have to keep him in the ICU for a minimum of 48 hours to hopefully drop his sugar.

Valcor knows tricks, he knows how to sit on command, but above all, he is my loving snuggle bug. He sleeps right beside me very night. I cradle his head as he sleeps. He loves to snuggle and will lay on me to sleep any chance he gets. He's a gentle giant and super sweet. You can do pretty much anything to him and he won't hiss or growl. He's the sweetest boy I know.

I had to take out two loans equalizing about $8000 to cover his costs and ER stay. Unfortunately, that means my monthly payments are around $700. I've exhausted all savings and options I have. Please, I don't want to lose my boy because of money.
