Help Marley beat cancer!
Donation protected
As many of you know, my partner Jackie shared a menagerie of wonderful pets with her late mother AnnaMaria, who she lost in 2017. Over the years, she’s had to say goodbye to many of these beloved shared pets, and the last of them is Marley, our big sweet 16 year old cat. We lost his brother Ziggy to abdominal cancer very suddenly in 2021, and during an aural hematoma surgery, Marley’s vet also located and biopsied a malignant tumor in Marley’s ear.
We are so thankful to have caught this early, a privilege we did not have with Ziggy’s situation, and we are determined to give Marley the healing and comfort we didn’t have a chance to give his brother.
Unfortunately, this does mean, at minimum, more surgery and we are unsure how much his existing pet insurance will cover. We need funds for his new deductible, policy, additional testing, as well as uncovered expenses such as consultations and comfort measures.
Anyone who has met Marley has remarked on what a special, sweet, loving, and beautiful cat he is. He has a serenity about him that brings comfort to everyone. It’s been a hard few months financially for our family, although we are working hard and taking on as many opportunities come our way. Jackie works tirelessly as a caretaker for her pets, other people’s pets, and those in need. We hope our community can spare some kindness for us during this time.
