Winter is a 10-year-old Domestic shorthair in Camp Hill PA, PA, who needs $1,940 for Chemotherapy.

I have a domestic short-hair named Winter. She is 10 years old and has been with me since she was 4 months old. She found me in the Winter time as a stray and has been with me ever since. Even escaping to be with her cat friends, she always came back, so I made her a forever home with me. She is my first fur friend.

Winter likes to sunbathe in front of a window while at the top of her cat condo. She enjoys her ball track and toy mouse (as long as there's catnip). She takes to women mainly, and was comforting to her cat brother Tux, when he was not feeling well (he passed from an undiagnosed heart condition, unfortunately the vet did not hear a murmur and we could not find the issue in time).

Winter has given comfort after I lost my mom; she helped me get through health issues; and she helped me get through a masters program.
She is playful and loves to be petted, and is very inquiring about what I do at the computer. She likes to sit with me while I work or study at the computer. Winter also provided comfort after I lost another pet from an undiagnosed heart condition.

Over the Summer, I noticed a small swelling on her left hock. I took her to the emergency vet hospital (Shores in Harrisburg PA), her vet at Colonial Park and a specialist in Lancaster. She has a growth on her left lung along with the hock growth. It was confirmed after several tests that she has malignant lymphoma. Last treatment payment was approved by Paws 4 a cure for one time treatment.

I lost my job in August due to downsizing because of covid. I am on unemployment and food stamps. I cannot afford her current treatments which are at $400 a treatment for chemotherapy. Currently, she is on gabapentin, prednisolone, cyclophosphamide and vincristine.
