Gavin the TikTok Star Fights for His Life”
Gavin the TikTok Star Fights for His Life”
Gavin the Bengal cat first won hearts worldwide with his quirky stone-tapping antics and infectious energy on TikTok. He wasn’t just adorable — he was captivating, bouncing around with crab runs and sass like no other. But now, behind the charming videos, Gavin is in the fight of his life.
After surviving a major hip surgery earlier this year, Gavin was regaining his strength — until he suddenly began coughing. Tests and scans revealed a new, serious health issue: suspected feline asthma. On top of his existing chronic conditions — including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis, and dental issues — this diagnosis adds another layer of complexity and cost to his care.
His mum, Gill, has done everything humanly possible to support Gavin. She’s faced heartbreak, having lost her husband — leaving her to carry the emotional and financial weight of Gavin’s care alone. Pet insurance has long been maxed out after covering prior procedures, and there’s nowhere else to turn. Gavin now needs daily steroid injections, a specialized asthma inhaler, out-of-hours veterinary treatment, and home adjustments like air purifiers and hypoallergenic materials to manage his condition.

Gavin isn’t just any cat. He’s a TikTok icon, a therapy companion for his grieving mum, and a tiny warrior with a spirit far larger than his frame. He’s faced more in his short life than many pets do in a lifetime: hip dysplasia surgery, digestive issues, arthritis, and now — possible asthma, confirmed by advanced imaging and vet assessments.
Gill, Gavin’s devoted pet parent, has poured her heart, soul, and savings into his care. But the financial burden has become too much. Since her husband’s passing, she’s been the sole provider for Gavin, and his medical needs are ongoing and extensive.
This fundraiser seeks to raise £4,000 for veterinary care, daily medications, hospitalizations, and treatments. An additional £1,000 will help create a safer, asthma-friendly environment at home for Gavin. Every extra pound will go toward critical physiotherapy and further investigations to uncover why Gavin still struggles with mouth pain and swallowing.

Breathing is something most of us take for granted — but for Gavin, even this basic function is now a daily struggle. After weeks of worrying symptoms and repeated vet visits, his team suspects feline asthma, which could explain his labored breathing and persistent coughing.
Getting to this diagnosis hasn’t been easy. It required advanced imaging, specialist consultations, and multiple hospital trips — all of which came after Gavin’s major hip surgery and treatment for his chronic digestive and dental problems. The cost of care has skyrocketed, far beyond what pet insurance could cover
With your help, we can give Gavin the relief he needs. Your donations will fund:
Daily steroid injections and inhaler medication
Veterinary visits and emergency care
Hypoallergenic materials and home improvements
Future advanced imaging and physiotherapy
