Help Oops With His Surgery

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to share the story of my best friend, Oops. Oops is a lovable 2-year-old cat who has been my biggest supporter and cuddle buddy since I adopted him during my junior year of college. He's a mighty meower, a churu enthusiast, and has brought endless joy to my life through some of the most significant moments.

Sadly, Oops has been struggling with gingivitis, which has limited him to only eating wet food since I got him as a kitten. Recently, I've noticed changes in his behavior, such as not wanting to be held as much and struggling to finish his food. I initially attributed these changes to our recent moves and life transitions, but a visit to a new vet revealed that Oops has extreme stomatitis and needs all of his teeth removed.

With this- I found out his prior vet had noted the stomatitis in Oops’ notes over a year ago & a month prior to me putting Oops on pet insurance. Meaning, it’s a “pre-existing” condition and his insurance won’t cover it.

This leaves me with two options: pay $6,000 upfront for a specialist to remove all his teeth at once, or have multiple extraction procedures over the next year, which would cost about the same but leave Oops in pain for much longer.

I am heartbroken and desperate to get Oops the care he needs to be pain-free and back to his old self.

My goal is to raise enough funds to take Oops to the specialist and have the procedure done in one go, minimizing his pain and helping him recover quickly. Any amount helps, and Oops and I would be forever grateful. As a token of our appreciation, Oops would love to personally send a thank you card to everyone who donates.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can provide. If we go above our goal, all excess funds will be donated to our local animal shelter to help other furry friends get the help they need.

With gratitude,

Bri and Oops
