Another day trying to spread awareness about #Fribrosarcoma #cancer in #cats 💛🙏 Slowing & spacing out cat vaccine schedules reduces risk. Doing injections in limbs can save a cat’s life. #Chemo & a leg amputation later after 3 vaccines caused his cancer, and he is thriving. 💪

A few days post-surgery, he started standing & even playing again. A few little swats through the crate and purring showed he was strong. His body changed, but his spirit hadn’t. This too shall pass.

The surgery went well. But nothing prepares you for seeing the leg gone. He was safe in the crate and healing with limited movement. I was full of grief, but also so so proud.

On the way to surgery, he looked up at me from the carrier—wide-eyed, afraid. I was just as scared. I had to trust the surgeon and oncologist. Every update during surgery felt like breath returning.

The morning of his amputation, I drew a red heart on the leg we were losing for good luck. The night before, he got a special meal. He didn’t know what was coming—just that he was loved.

Final chemo felt different. Amputation surgery was next. He still purred and played. I kept guessing how surgery would go and this created fear. You're not alone in the fear.

After my 9–5, I cleaned hoarders’ homes to fund his care. I came home late, sore, exhausted. He didn’t know how hard I worked to save him. He just knew he was loved. Their love makes it worth it.

After weeks apart, Shmoopy was finally allowed to curl up beside his older brother Momo. Just purrs and warmth. His body was fighting, and so was his spirit.

After his second chemo, Shmoopy looked up tired but proud. He stayed brave and playful between naps. He showed us what strength looks like. Your cat finds strength with you.

The chemo pump was quiet, but Shmoopy’s eyes weren’t. His first round of electrochemotherapy. He didn’t know why he was shaved, poked, or back in the carrier. We were scared too—and the cost weighed heavy.

I still remember the call: Fibrosarcoma. Cancer. It was then a scramble to understand cancer, treatment, and cost. I wasn’t ready, but I had to be. I was afraid. You are not alone in your fear.

When it started, we found a lump. The vet did a biopsy. After surgery, he slept—tired, happy, unaware. We tried to stay calm, but the incision made it hard. You are not alone in the waiting.

My PURRsonal trainer is recommending napping instead of walking in place. #NapsNotWalks 😴
