Help recover Shelley's final costs

Donation protected
Hey, I'm Lauren, and the beautiful cat you see in the picture above is Shelley. On May 19th, she passed away after two months of illness. She was an incredibly healthy cat all 14 years of her life, but in March she developed diabetes, which eventually led to us discovering she also had developed lymphoma.


Shelley was an incredible cat. She was full of life, was extra sassy and dramatic, and charmed just about everyone she met (even if she just hissed and growled at them lol). She was a resilient little thing, dealing with moving across state lines and adjusting to our ever-changing lives. She was a little weirdo who had an oddly-shaped face and a love of rustling bags and jumping in piles of tulle and petticoats. She was also very loving, and wanted to spend time cuddling with us and just being nearby. You couldn't be working on anything without her wanting to sit in your lap, on your desk, or on the things you're trying to work on. If you ate food, she wanted to see what you're eating even if it's something she didn't like. Her favorite human foods were shredded cheese, vanilla ice cream, turkey, and the occasional tortilla chips. She loved it when we sat beside her while she ate, and would watch movies with us.

She pretended to dislike cameras but she always hammed it up for us. If we were streaming video games or art, she HAD to make an appearance. She also loved to watch our friends stream, too! Her favorite was Graham's cooking stream. She liked to watch Graham cook and would reach up to put a little paw on the TV screen. She also liked to watch the bird channels on YouTube.

Several people have asked if there's anything they can do to help, and while I don't expect anything I would love some help with her final vet bills. I fully intend to pay them off either way, it's just going to take a while and having some help would take something off our plates.
