Midnight is a friendly and sweet 13 year-old-black kitty with hyperthyroidism. She is no longer responding to her daily medication to control her thyroid disease and her vet has recommended I 131 treatment. Midnight's health is declining and this procedure is critical for Midnight's long-term health. This specialized nuclear medical procedure requires several days of hospitalization and is very expensive.

Midnight's caregiver has limited financial means and needs assistance in raising the funds needed for Midnight to receive this critical treatment. This procedure will completely cure Midnight's hyperthyroidism and give her a better quality of life! Midnight is a cherished companion and her caregiver, Rachel, is doing everything she can to try to raise funds quickly for her beloved feline friend. Please consider donating to help Midnight!

Our fundraising activities for Midnight are now closed. There is an additional $430 needed for radiographs to meet the high end of estimate for Midnight's veterinary treatment. We verified this evening (Friday Feb 9) that the vet feels these radiographs are necessary in Midnight's case.

If you would like to make a donation towards this remaining total, please contact Midnight's vet directly.

02/05/2007 - A note from Rachel, Midnight's caregiver:
I will never forget the day Midnight came into my life! I went to the SPCA in 1993, hoping to find a second cat to keep Starlyte company so he wasn't so lonely when I wasn't home. Midnight had been found on the streets and was quite skittish, but repeatedly came to me, licked my hand and purred, ran off and came back again. She totally won me over! I knew she had chosen me and she had to come home with me.

It took a long time and a lot of patience, but slowly over the years, Midnight has overcome a lot of her skittishness and fear of people. I did everything I could to make sure Midnight felt safe and secure and help her become comfortable with sitting laps and being petted for more than a few minutes at a time. Although it took many years, Midnight can even be cuddled - which I never thought she would let me do. Every night, she cuddles with me for about an hour while I read. She has the softest, silkiest fur in the world!

The hyperthyroidism has been a test for both Midnight and me, but we have made it through all the sickness and have become even closer because of it. I just want her to be healthy and enjoy what years she may have left. I cannot imagine my life without Midnight, I love her so much!
