Sam, our Maine Coon, needs a heart transplant

Sam has HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomiopathy) and aspires to be- first heart transplant cat

Our 4 year old Maine Coon Sam has HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomiopathy), a gradually fatal heart disease, and he aspires to be first heart transplant cat in the world, in order to get a chance to live a longer and more normal life than now.

My owners, Cathy and Peter, and my fellow cats, Ballou and Bagheera (Baggy), will be posting my story here, as it was and as it develops.

They all hope that I'll get this chance to stay longer with them and they are working hard to make it happen, being in touch with cardiologists who are ready to give this project a serious try.

We still need to get the sufficient funding for this expensive treatment, so we'll be publishing Sam's adventure everywhere, to acquire sufficient funding to make this happen.
