You can count on my continued prayer for your Molly, and bless you for your love, care, and support for your kitty.

That’s great news. Cats can’t speak English but do know how to show their appreciation of taking care of them.

One of our cats was diagnosed with intestinal disease, or cancer three years ago. She was constantly throwing up and not eating well which resulted in weight loss. We took her to a specialty vet who wanted to open her up to find the lesion as it apparently was deep in her intestines. After the surgery it was possible chemo and radiation. With all that they said she may stick around for a year or two.

Instead of paying $4,000 for the proceedure, we opted for meds and let her live her life out. In short time, she ended up getting diabetes from the meds so we put her in insulin twice a day.

Three years later she is laying here next to me and pretty much healthy. She’s still on meds but she has gained her weight back and her insulin dosage is cut to 1/6 of the max we gave her. The vet thinks we may even be able to stop giving her insulin if her bloodwork keeps looking good.




We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye

Molly is still doing well. We're on the third different chemo treatment, and she's still on heavy doses of steroids.

They had to administer IV chemo yesterday, so they shaved here other front leg. Now it looks like she's wearing Ugg boots.

She's really doing pretty well.

She is the star of the oncology dept at Central Texas Vet Specialists. Everybody loves her. The techs carry her around like she's a baby, and Molly loves it.

She's a special cat.
