Help Cream Get the Veterinary Care He Needs

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Deanna and I am asking the community for help with my beloved cat’s veterinary care. Cream has recently been diagnosed with probable hypereosinophilic syndrome with the possibility of mast cells. He has always been a healthy, loving companion and family member. Cream has a brother named Peaches, and they are strongly bonded. I trapped both of these boys when they were 5 weeks old, living in a feral colony, and they have been members of our family for a happy 11 years.

Cream’s condition came on very suddenly. We have been navigating our overtaxed veterinary system for a month now trying to figure out why he wasn’t eating, throwing up, and losing weight. We eventually landed in emergency as his condition worsened where they did a thorough workup with labwork, x-rays, ultrasound, and specialist diagnosis. So far, he has had 2 biopsies with more to come. His probable diagnosis is hypereosinophilic syndrome, which is a rare but deadly disease that affects the immune system and will damage internal organs without treatment. While rare in cats, hypereosinophilic syndrome tends to be more common in Siamese cats.

So far, I have spent more than $5000 on Cream’s veterinary care, but the treatment is ongoing, and I will need help to cover the costs of the necessary medical procedures. We are waiting on biopsy results that will let us know if he needs to have his spleen removed. Following the biopsy result, Cream will need intestinal biopsies and possible spleen removal within the next week or two with ongoing veterinary care. His intestines show thickening, but his other organs still look good. We are hoping we can keep his other organs from being damaged with quick treatment.

Cream is a big part of our family, and we want to do everything in our power to help him feel better and stay with us as long as possible. Unfortunately, the cost of Cream's medical treatment is more than I can bear alone, and I am turning to the community for help.

Every little bit helps, and any donation, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. Together, we can help Cream get the care he needs to feel better and stay with his family. Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser with your friends and family to help spread the word.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Peaches, Cream, and Deanna
