Three-Legged Senior Cat That Has Cancer Celebrates 13th B-day (Viral Thread)

Happy birthday, Goober! Goober is turning 13, and we are so in love with him. He has gone through so much - chronic sinusitis, losing a leg to cancer and growing a tumor in another leg. He has stayed strong the whole way through, and we are so dang proud of him. He's doing okay, surrounded by people who love him, and he is such a brave survivor, all we want is to give him treats and love.

Thank you to ReluctantGenius for sharing his story with us. We as well as the rest of the internet are more than happy to show some love to this adorable little senior furball. We hope he gets to live for a long, long time and enjoy every single minute of his life.

We can only wish this gorgeous kitty as easy a time as possible dealing with the sinusitis as well as many, many more happy years to come. We trust though, that with a family as loving as yours, Goober is in good hands, and she will enjoy every minute that she spends with you to the fullest.

"She lost a front leg to cancer in 2017 and I found a similar tumor in her other front leg. Thankfully, it's not growing as fast and doesn't seem to bother her as much as the first one."
