Hi, my name is Phoenix, and this is Pumpkin Spice Latte — an almost 5-month-old kitten who has already survived more than any baby should.

When Pumpkin was just 3 months old, she suffered a serious accident that caused a brain bleed. The odds were not in her favor — but she fought.

And I fought right alongside her.

I emptied my savings, maxed out accounts, and spent countless sleepless nights by her side, watching her breathe, praying she would make it. Against all expectations, she survived. Watching her heal felt nothing short of a miracle.

Now, just two months later, we’ve hit another heartbreaking hurdle.

Pumpkin has retained her lower baby teeth, which are not falling out on their own. This is causing her significant pain and difficulty eating. The only solution is surgery to remove the retained teeth, allowing her adult teeth to come in properly and letting her eat without pain again.

After everything she’s already endured, it breaks my heart knowing she’s hurting — and that I can’t do this alone.

I have already given everything I had to save her life the first time. I would do it again in a heartbeat — but right now, I need help.

What the funds will go toward:

Veterinary surgery to remove retained teeth

Anesthesia and surgical monitoring

Pain management and medications

Follow-up care and recovery support

My goal is simple: to let Pumpkin grow, eat, play, and live without pain.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as powerful.

Thank you for reading Pumpkin’s story. Thank you for caring.

And thank you for helping me give this tiny fighter the pain-free life she deserves.
