Princess Pizza has lived with our family since 2023. At 18, she is a solo cat living with us in Richmond, VA, having outlived her three siblings. She is a strictly indoor cat, highly active, and "Bright, Alert, and Responsive." She spends her time playing in her tunnel with her favorite ribbon, and herding us to the couch. She is in a stable environment perfect for post-op recovery.

Princess was diagnosed with Grade II tubular mammary carcinoma. Her thoracic x-rays are currently clear, making her an ideal candidate for a staged bilateral radical mastectomy to prevent spread. We recently noted new growth near her biopsy site, increasing the urgency. She is being treated by the surgical and oncology specialists at Virginia Veterinary Centers in Richmond, VA.

Pizza is our "Wiggly Girl." She?s a vocal, demanding 18-year-old who "talks" us through every morning and evening. She is incredibly affectionate, greeting us with chirps and head-butts. Despite her age, she is playful and curious, interacting with us like a much younger cat. She?s a survivor who has been our steady companion through some big losses. She isn't just a pet; she is the boss.

We're fundraising for her surgery and follow-up treatment. Having her healthy means keeping "our gorl" alive and finally giving her a cancer-free future.
