Meet Michi, an adorable 3-year-old pastel calico cat from Minnesota who has been diagnosed with Ovarian Remnant Syndrome (ovarian tissue remaining after her spay). Michi needs exploratory abdominal surgery that is estimated to cost $3,305.68.
Michi's mom is trying to raise an additional $600 so she can continue receiving the treatment she desperately needs.

Michi's Story
“Michi is a three-year-old pastel calico who came into my life as a stray in September 2024. She began following my colleagues and me around the neighborhood during a lunchtime walk, and after a couple of months of getting to know each other, she became a permanent part of my life. Since then, she’s become my beloved companion and adventure buddy. We love picnicking, hiking, paddling, and biking together, and she brings so much joy and curiosity to every adventure.
Michi was spayed in November 2024, but a few months later began showing signs of heat, including vocalizing and mating behaviors. She was evaluated in March 2026 and diagnosed with ovarian remnant syndrome, meaning ovarian tissue remained after her spay. Behavioral medications, including gabapentin, did not resolve her symptoms. Her veterinary team now recommends an abdominal exploratory surgery to locate and remove the remaining ovarian tissue, both to address her ongoing symptoms and reduce the risk of future complications.
We have received a generous $400 Paws 4 A Cure grant, but we still need to raise $600 to help cover Michi’s surgery. Every donation, no matter the size, brings her one step closer to getting the care she needs and returning to the happy, adventurous life she loves. Thank you for caring about Michi, supporting her journey, and helping us give this very special little cat many more adventures to come!”
Every donation helps ensure Michi can continue receiving the surgery that keeps her healthy and gives her more precious time with her mom.
