Help with Thomas' chemo costs!
An important member of our family - Thomas the cat needs to get chemo for lymphoma. Help raise money to pay for this expensive treatment.
Auckland
An otherwise happy and healthy 11 year old cat, Thomas recently didn't seem himself - he wasn't eating like he used to.
After a visit to the vet, it was decided he have three teeth removed. This expended all our savings, and we had to get an AfterPay account to help pay the vet bills.
We were worried after his teeth were taken out that he still seemed to be having trouble eating, so returned to the vet.
With an examination, a lump in his abdomen was felt; and, after a proper ultrasound, we were advised the growth is lymphoma - found in his lower intestine, and spreading to the lymph nodes.
So we can ensure Thomas lives his best life: longer, more comfortable, and happy - we would like to raise funds to help us pay for chemotherapy treatment.
Each treatment will cost around $900; we will need to do one a week for the first four weeks - if it looks like it's getting smaller, then we should be able to go down to around one every three weeks.
Please contribute if you can, every dollar counts!!
Use of funds
Money donated will go towards the vet and oncologist bills, as well as medication for Thomas, helping him live a longer, more comfortable, and happy life.

Rest easy, darling 💚 Thomas Canary 04/02/2012 - 18/11/2023 19 November 2023
It's with broken hearts we have to announce that we had to say goodbye to Thomas yesterday.
After four chemo sessions, his tumour hadn't got much smaller; his red blood count was very low, but white high, which indicates it wasn't because of the chemo - so something else was also wrong.
Thomas stopped eating, was drinking too much, was having difficulty walking, and had to rest a lot. It was so painful to go through, we are absolutely devastated.
We wish to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this process, from the bottom of our hearts - thank you.
