宠物猫疾病缠身 善良主人在线筹款

A woman named JB is hoping for just such an Internet miracle. JB recently shared the story of her cat, Lu, who lives with many health problems and has very special needs.

“Lu is a 7-year-old house cat who lives with a lot of health issues,” JB wrote on GoFundMe. “First of all, she has five legs, which is surprisingly the least of her problems. She also has a heart problem. One of her ‘normal’ back legs has a condition that doesn’t allow it to extend (伸展) fully, so she mostly pulls herself around with her front legs.”

JB went on to say that Lu could move more quickly and easily when she was younger, but as she’s aged it’s more difficult for the animal to get around. She also can’t clean herself normally, so she requires a lot of help with the litter box. JB doesn’t mind the extra work because she loves her pet so much. “Despite her numerous health issues, Lu is the sweetest cat I have ever encountered,” JB wrote.

Unluckily, in September 2022 the oncologist (肿瘤医师) said Lu had cancer. Surgery to remove the cancer is necessary but very risky with all of Lu’s issues. She requires a lot of medical testing. And it would cost between $4,000 and $7,000. That’s quite a sum of money for JB.

With surgery, and a long road of recovery before them, JB started an online fundraiser (筹款活动) to help with the costs. She’s also sharing videos of her special cat on TikTok, and her videos have been viewed millions of times so far. She’s hoping her audience will help her pay for Lu’s expensive treatment so she can have a bit more time with her.
