Hello everyone, Hello everyone,

About a year ago when Mónica and I moved to Orlando we adopted a beautiful, fat, loving, dog like orange tabby cat which we named after the best jedi ever: ObiWan. This guy stole our hearts immediately and quickly became a member of our small family.After a year of fun and games my brother Quique noticed Obi was trying not to use his left hind leg, I thought it was odd so I took him to the vet. They took some xrays and noticed nothing was broken so they gave me some medicine and sent us on our way. During those two weeks Obi lost about 3 pounds, he was limping more and more and had lost his appetite. Obi is usually a very active boy so when I saw him all mopey I got concerned and took him to the vet again. The vet told us to go to a specialist because they did not know what Obi had.After a blood sample of the leg was examined, the specialists at AVS reached the conclusion that Obi has cancer of the bone on his left hind leg, something that is very rare for cats his age. (3 years old)Obi’s specialist Dr. Peck wants to move forward with amputation as that gives us the best chance of getting rid of the cancer and here lies our problem. We want to move forward with the procedure asap but Mónica and I simply don’t have the money in hand required for the operation. If we were to get his leg amputated here in Dr Philips, Orlando the total cost would be $2,200 to $2,500 dollars. That includes pre op care, surgery and post op care.I am selling most of my apartment belongings on OfferUp and Mónica and I are going to pay for his pre op chest xrays today but we need help with the expenses moving forward. I believe that if this gets shared enough and at least 1,000 people pitch in with 2 dollars we can bring the force back to our boy ObiWan.Thank you so much for reading,Raúl, Mónica and Obips: here’s some more photos of our boy.
