From Xander's foster momma:
"Xander came into rescue almost 7 years ago at the age of 6 weeks old with his brother and sister. Since then he has had a very rough life through no fault of his own or the rescue. At the age of a year and a half he was diagnosed with megacolon. He has struggled with that for years. Last year at the age of 5 he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and diabetes. This year he was diagnosed with lymphoma. He is only 6 years old. Over the last few months he has lost 1/2lb a month. In 2024 he was 16lbs. In April 2025 he was 14lb. He is now 10lbs. Because of all of his ailments he can only be on 2 types of wet food. One cost ~$70 a month. The other we got at a discount but are running out and the company is discontinuing it.
Since he has diabetes he has been off of dry food but because he is losing weight we are putting him on prescription dry. Its $40 for a small bag. Since he has pancreatitis and cancer he is on prednisolone so he is always going to have diabetes so we are going to put him on dry to get him to gain weight and control his diabetes with insulin as it changes. Our goal is for him to gain weight. He is a happy boy and we will do whatever to keep him that way. In the last 4 months he has been to the vet 3 times for exams and bloodwork. Each visit is $250-$300. He has a vet visit in a month for more bloodwork.
Xander is on:
Lactulose 2x day
Cisapride 2x day
Fortiflora 1x day
Miralax 2x day
Cerenia 1x day
Ursolyx 1x day
Mirtazipine 1x day
Prednisolone 1x day
B12 1x week
Fluids 1x week
Insulin 1x day (currently)
Not everyone would do this for a cat but I am happy to. Not everyone has the time to take care of a cat like this and I am glad I have the time. I am asking for donations to continue to care for Xander for as long as he has."
