Hello everyone,

My sweet cat Heidi has been my faithful companion through life's ups and downs. She's more than just a pet..she's been my emotional support through difficult times, a source of comfort, and truly a reason to keep going when hope felt lost.

Recently, we discovered that Heidi urgently needs dental surgery. At least two teeth require extraction, with the possibility of more once treatment begins. Dental disease in cats is incredibly painful and, without treatment, can lead to serious infections and life-threatening complications.

The estimated cost for her care, including examination, anesthesia, x-rays, level 1 extractions (15min) etc, is $1600.

I was unable to get an accurate price for the extractions because I was told they won’t know exactly how long it will take to remove the teeth. It is based off of how many teeth, and the difficulty of extractions. To show a break down of the estimated price I have attached a photo of the estimate.

Unfortunately, this amount is beyond what I can manage alone right now. Like many people today, I'm facing financial challenges and don't have access to credit for unexpected veterinary expenses.

Heidi needs this care to live pain-free. Without your support, I may have no choice but to surrender her to a shelter where she can receive medical treatment; a heartbreaking option I'm hoping to avoid.

I completely understand that many of us are going through financial challenges right now. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would still help tremendously.

I'm deeply grateful to anyone who takes the time to read Heidi's story.

Your kindness and compassion could give her a second chance at a pain-free, happy life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Updates on Heidi's treatment will be posted here as they become available.
