A Pet You Helped: Smokey

Smokey came to The Dog and Cat Cancer Fund in need of radiation therapy for a pituitary tumor. Because of the delicate location of the pituitary gland, radiation therapy is often used when surgery is not an option. This is precisely the case Smokey found himself in after a recent visit to New England Veterinary Oncology Group (NEVOG). The good news is that radiation treatment for canine and feline tumors can be very effective.

As anyone who has received radiation treatment themselves, or has had a dog or cat in need of radiation therapy, knows that the costs can be staggering. We are happy that our donors have made it possible to help cats like Smokey keep hope alive.

Dear DCCFund,

I really thought it would be easy to write this thank-you note; but I found it difficult to put into words exactly how much we appreciate your help. We’ve had Smokey ever since he was little kitten. My children have spent their entire childhood playing with Smokey. He plays catch, fetch, and even comes when he’s called. We’ve watched him grow from a little puff ball of a kitten into a beautiful cat and we really don’t know what we’d do without him. We’d like to thank-you for caring and helping us to save Smokey.

To some people he’s just a cat but to us he’s family. Thank-you for helping us save our smallest family member.

Lisa & Family
