Noah’s Story

Noah is an eight-month-old orange kitten currently undergoing treatment for intestinal lymphoma and gastrointestinal carcinomas - an extremely rare and aggressive combination of cancers for such a young cat. While his initial surgery and first chemotherapy sessions have shown promising results, we face an urgent challenge: securing funding to complete the remaining chemotherapy cycles that his oncology team has determined are critical for achieving remission.

Noah’s medical team at the veterinary oncology center has been clear about the situation. His young age gives him a significant advantage in tolerating treatment, and his body has responded encouragingly to the initial chemotherapy protocols. However, the treatment must be completed according to the prescribed schedule. Any interruption or premature cessation would likely result in rapid disease progression and eliminate the progress achieved thus far.

Current Medical Status and Treatment Plan

Noah is currently mid-treatment and requires six to eight additional chemotherapy sessions over the next four months. His oncologist has developed a specific protocol tailored to his dual cancer diagnosis, which includes weekly monitoring through blood work to adjust medications as needed, comprehensive supportive care between treatments including anti-nausea medications and nutritional support, and periodic imaging studies to track tumor response and adjust the treatment approach.

The total cost for completing Noah’s chemotherapy protocol amounts to approximately $25,320 at the current moment. This figure encompasses the chemotherapy drugs themselves, administration by specialized veterinary oncologists, monitoring and adjustment of treatment protocols based on his response, management of any side effects or complications, and follow-up diagnostics to ensure the treatment is working effectively.

The Critical Nature of Continued Treatment

The veterinary oncology team has emphasized that Noah stands at a crucial juncture in his treatment. The cancers he faces are particularly aggressive, and maintaining the momentum of his current treatment schedule is essential. Each chemotherapy session builds upon the previous one, and the cumulative effect is what offers Noah his best chance at remission and a normal life.

Despite the severity of his diagnosis, Noah maintains remarkable resilience. Between treatments, he shows glimpses of the playful kitten he was before his diagnosis. He purrs during his medical visits, attempts to play with his toys when feeling stronger, and continues to seek affection from his caregivers. These moments reinforce our determination to see his treatment through to completion.

Financial Reality and Request for Support

The cost of Noah’s remaining treatment exceeds our financial capacity. Veterinary oncology treatments are highly specialized and correspondingly expensive. Every dollar raised will go directly toward Noah’s medical care at the veterinary oncology center. We are committed to full transparency regarding the use of funds and will provide regular updates on Noah’s progress throughout his treatment journey.

We recognize that this is a significant request, and we understand that not everyone will be in a position to contribute financially. For those who can donate, any amount brings Noah closer to completing his treatment. For those unable to contribute financially, sharing Noah’s story within your networks would provide invaluable support in reaching others who might be able to help.

Closing

We will provide weekly updates on Noah’s condition and treatment progress through this campaign page. Documentation of all medical expenses is available upon request for anyone who wishes to verify how contributions are being utilized. Our commitment is to complete transparency throughout Noah’s treatment journey.

Noah’s fight represents more than just one kitten’s battle against cancer. It represents hope in the face of a devastating diagnosis and the difference that collective support can make in a critical situation. With your help, we can ensure Noah receives the complete treatment protocol that offers him the best chance at a full recovery and a normal, healthy life.

Thank you for considering Noah’s case and for any support you can provide during this critical time in his treatment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
