**The Challenge:**
Time is running out for my 17-year-old cat Jasper, who has been a loving companion for 9 years. We are in urgent need of $1255 to prevent our Trupanion pet insurance from being canceled. Without it, I'll have no choice but to surrender him due to the inability to afford his medical care, which would be devastating for both of us.
**Why This Matters:**
Jasper isn’t just a pet; he's family. Trupanion has covered 90% of his medical expenses throughout the years, and losing this insurance would mean potentially life-threatening consequences for an aging cat who depends on it.
**How You Can Help:**
- **Make a Donation:** Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to our goal.
- **Share Our Story:** Use the sharing tools on this page to spread our call for help on social media.
- **Send Encouragement:** Leave a comment or send a message to show your support.
**What Your Support Means:**
Your support ensures that Jasper can continue to receive the care he needs to thrive in his senior years. It helps us avoid the tragic choice of giving him up and keeps him where he belongs - at home with me. Your support will help a family stay together.
**Rewards for Donors:**
As a token of gratitude, I would like to offer:
- A personalized thank you message and a photo of Jasper for donations of $50 or more.
- Regular updates on Jasper's health and wellbeing for all donors.
**About Us:**
I've always believed in the power of community and the kindness of strangers. Today, I'm humbly asking for your help to keep my best friend with me. Together, we can ensure that Jasper lives out his days in comfort and with dignity.
Jasper has been a part of my family for almost 9 years now. Through kidney disease, asthma, and even coming to me severely overweight, he's powered through all of it. I lost one job and am functionally unemployed, only getting one shift per week without the assistance of EI. This has resulted in my nearly losing his insurance now, after having to do emergency loans to bring him in...
Jasper is my life, he's my baby. He came into my life through the guiding grace of my late cat, Trouble, who had passed away 7 months before I met Jasper, who was born when she was only 3 months old on the other side of the country. Back then, in 2015, I knew it was a sign. Once I got my own place a year later, I immediately adopted him, and the rest is history.
Jasper has seen me through multiple moves, a traumatic relationship. Multiple short-lived jobs, the struggles of being disabled and dealing with insurmountable debt. Even in his senior years, he's kept my spirits up, and given me a reason to keep fighting... I'd hate to give up my baby over financial misfortune :(
