Xena is a 12-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Bothell, WA, who needs 4,500 for surgery to remove a mass.

I brought home Xena at the age of 8 weeks. She's been my constant companion for nearly 13 years. She's the closest to a child I've ever had, and she is the light of my life. During this time we've rarely been apart. She still has mild separation anxiety sometimes if I'm gone for long periods of time. She makes me feel like the center of the universe.
