Toby is a sweet orange cat that was born in 2002. About 10 days ago, we found out that he has a terminal GI cancer that spread to the bone marrow. The veterinarian gave him just weeks to live. Toby has gained a following on the Internet over the last 5-6 years, with around 10-15k total subscribers across 2 accounts ( https://ifunny.co/user/Jesus_Cat?s=cl and https://ifunny.co/user/Divine_Feline?s=cl ). Thousands more have seen him through videos and memes circulating around the Internet (iFunny, Vine, YouTube, etc.). Toby is a one in a million animal that has had a great life in a wonderful home, but his time has just about come. For a long time, I had an idea in the back of my mind to somehow save Toby’s genetic information digitally on a flash drive or something I could have without having to keep it in my freezer or something in the hopes that technology improves, and if not, to keep it as a memento, not necessarily to clone. It would be better than cremating and keeping the ashes in my opinion. After some research, I couldn’t find anything that does this. The next best thing is https://viagenpets.com/cat-cloning/ which saves tissue samples of your pet at a fee of $500. It would mean a lot to me if we were able to pull together enough money to do this. Any donation helps tremendously and I am grateful for anything you give. The funds will go toward nothing else but this cause. If we end up meeting the goal, and there ends up being a cheaper alternative that accomplishes the same thing I want, then I will provide refunds for anything that goes over what I absolutely need. God bless, and happy new year!
