Whitey is a 8-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Temple City, CA, who needs $251 for IV.

I rescued Whitey 8 years ago. She was abandoned on the street and I took her in. She has kept me company for the past 8 years and has been my companion. She is intelligent and responds to me when I whistle or call her name. The vet did not expect her to survive and I was very worried. She sleeps with me everynight.

My cat sleeps with me on one side and my dog sleeps on the other side. She is very attached to me but does not like strangers. She sleeps a lot and likes to chase after her ball. She can make her ball jump in the air so that she can chase after it. I play with her and the ball and she loves it. She also loves to get scratched.

I am a senior on fixed SSI income. I paid $500 out of pocket but I cannot afford to pay anymore. I need to raise that money because I was promised that I would be refunded but I was not. My primary concern is to take care of this bill. Any contribution is greatly appreciated

She was hospitalized at Laurel Pet Canyon Hospital because she jaundiced and she was not eating or drinking. She was placed on IV for two days. She was released because she bounced back and returned to her normal self. The fact that she bounced back means a lot to me. I was very concerned for her life due to the vet's prognosis.

My cat is special because she is pretty, intelligent, and responds to her name and to my whistle. She comes right away and likes to be scratched and loved. She stays on the premises and keeps me company. She has a second lease on life because the vet did not expect her to make it. She has been my companion for many years.
