Cole has a small mast tumour

[Randi]

Sending lots of good thoughts to Cole and you, I hope the tumor can be removed in time.

Give him some gentle hugs from me.

Candace, I'm sorry to hear this!
I hope that Cole can have his surgery as soon as possible. The location of the tumor definitely adds urgency.

Hugs and healing thoughts to you and Cole!

He's going in for a consult tomorrow. I'm hoping he can have the surgery in early December.

I'm applying to a place to fund the surgery and the app has to be in before the surgery is done. If I can get a quote tomorrow I'll do the app ASAP.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything is working out.
Does your vet offer Care Credit?

We no longer have Care Credit for pets in Canada.

The one place I am applying is ACTSS - Animal Cancer Therapy Subsidization Society. In 2017 I applied - the give a maximum of $3000. Cole, an older cat, got $2500.

There are several others - Tails of Help, Parachute for Pets, etc.

To say I am worried is an understatement. But Cole is still gurgling and trilling for his food, purring, being very much himself.

GOOD NEWS! The buffy coat came back negative, which means there are no mast cells in Cole's bloodstream. RELIEF!

That's fantastic! Every little bit of good news helps.
