'When you see a mass that big, you don't expect good news': Cat with life-threatening tumor meowraculously declared cancer-free after pawrent crowdfunds money to pay for her successful surgery

After finding out that their cat had a tumor that was taking up 80% of their cat's lung space, this pawrent was devastated. Wouldn't you be? Your purrfect little baby needs immediate meowdical attention. And with a diagnosis like that, you don't expect good news. Lily, the cat, was only 9 years old. That's not nearly enough time for her on this Earth, and her pawrent wasn't going to let anything stand in the way of saving their feline friend. They took out a loan and crowdfunded the money, but eventually, they paid for it in full. And you know what? The surgery was successful, and Lily is now 100% cancer free.

Don't underestimate us when we say we would literally do anything to save our cats. Take out loans, change jobs… you name it, we'd do it. Some people may call us crazy, but it's nothing more than they deserve. They bring more joy to our lives than we could ever put in financial terms, so we can't make money a factor in their health and happiness. And we can talk about it with ease now, but this is something all of us pet pawrents will have to deal with sooner or later. Our cats will get older, and there might be complications that can be fixed or cured through modern medicine, but that doesn't mean that they're going to be cheap.

All we can do is hope that our cats will walk the same road to recovery that Lily did, full of success, happiness, and many more years to come with her furrever hooman.

We can't imagine how stressful this must have been. No one ever wants their pets to get sick, or worse. You always hope it's going to be something minor, and almost never expect it's something as major as a tumor. Our hearts would drop through our stomachs if we heard that at the vet.

Lily's story, however, makes us feel that everything is pawssible. No matter the odds, it's important to stay pawsitive because your cats are very sensitive to your emotions. The more pawsitive you are, the better they're going to deal with their situation. Stress doesn't help anyone, especially someone who is sick!
