Please help Calypso Cat and kitten Rescue Tampa Bay be able to take on this cat:
🚨 Meet Lumpy — and yeah… her name isn’t subtle.
She’s a tuxedo girl with a massive lump on her face that shouldn’t be there. We don’t know yet what it is.
Best case?
A severe abscess that needs to be opened, flushed, and treated — painful, but fixable.
Worst case?
Something more deeply attached in the tissue, possibly tumorous, requiring surgery and more intensive care.. but hopefully not necessary to euthanize her.
What we do know is the estimate:
$550 – $1500 depending on what we find when our vet can get hands on her.
And here’s the problem:
👉 If we can get this covered, we will take her on. No hesitation.
👉 If we can’t… she sits like this, untreated, while it gets worse, and she has no other options.
We are willing to step in for Lumpy. We just need the ability to say “yes” without putting the entire rescue under. Just in two days this week, we didn't get almost anything back in donations for the around $4000 we've spent at just the vet.
She’s still eating. Still looking at people. Still here, asking for help in the only way she can — by surviving something she shouldn’t have to.
If you can help — whether it’s $5 or sharing this post — it genuinely makes the difference between action and inaction for her.

Let’s not make her wait any longer, it's clearly putting pressure on her eye.
