Urgent Surgery Needed for Bean's Recovery

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Skylar! I rescue, fix, and rehome cats in my area. This beautiful girl showed up about 2 months ago. She was friendly, so I started feeding her to gain trust. I very quickly realized that something was wrong with her mouth. I was able to coax her inside with soft food. We set an appointment at the vet and took her to be seen. She was diagnosed with gingivitis and given steroids and antibiotics to help keep it manageable. The only true course of action was to have all of her teeth removed or be euthanized. She is so full of life and love, and I would hate to see that being the outcome. We were estimated $1800 for her surgery. I took her home to begin trying to save that money to save her life. But now, just as winter hits, my furnace has gone out, and I am afraid that I am not going to be able to help her the way that she truly needs. I would do anything to get her healthy and just see the beautiful personality that I just know is hiding behind all of the pain. I rescue, rehome, and fix cats in my area out of my own paychecks and know how hard it is, so asking for help is my last resort. She is skinny but eats as much as her mouth will allow before she calls it quits. She is on a strictly soft food diet, she does not groom herself, and will not allow her legs or underside to be touched. I brush her daily and wipe her body with pet wipes to try to clean her, but she has buildup on her hind legs because she won’t allow me to mess with them and is also starting to get some matting on her chest and won’t let me brush or do anything with that either. This baby is struggling, and I am struggling to cope with the fact that I am running out of options. If you can’t donate, a share would mean everything! If you can donate, it is so, so very much appreciated. I know with the holidays, everyone is strapped, but mine would be absolutely blessed if I could find a way to help this girl. We call her “Bean” ❤️
