Hello friends, family, and acquaintances. Meet Suri aka Sushi Roll aka Honey Bean. ❤️ This is my baby girl, ragdoll kitty, loyal cat, the best little animal I've ever owned. I realize that I should have started this GoFundMe page months ago, as Suri is unable to drink water at all at this point. She is being hand-fed, wet food blended into a consistency that she can consume. So far, her blood work is okay, but she desperately needs emergency dental surgery. I love this little creature more than I can put into words, but if you know me, then you know I would not put this out there unless it was something close to my heart.

In order to see what exactly is going on, extractions, etc., they must put her under anesthesia for the dental cleaning procedure. So far, they can tell there's one tooth in the back. The major problem exists in the front left area of her little mouth. Between my mom and myself, we've been able to pay approximately $600, and her new food regimen is literally hundreds more per month for me since the end of July. The ballpark figure given for the procedure is $1300+, but it does not include whatever else they may find.

I understand times are hard for us all, but I don't know where else to turn, and would like to at least get her in for the cost of the above procedure and go from there. Today, October 22, Honey Bean is going for a general health assessment with a different veterinarian, and I will add any update or information that I get. Ultimately, I'm looking at that estimate and trying to get the bad few teeth out as I've been told and from what I research, obviously, it's a major health risk to her organs the longer we wait. Not to mention the pain, which cats are known to hide well. This week she began doing a few things that mark her pain and not wanting her caretaker, cat mom, to see. Due to the fact that she can’t drink water, she relies on me just like I'm her kitty mama. She's getting very close to me physically and "chirps" so that I'll lay down with her so that she can snuggle up tight against me. She's already super affectionate, a lap cat, so I can tell what's going on—it's painful to watch.

Currently, I play YouTube "fish aquarium" all day to keep her calm, and spend all my time that I can with her as her feeding is demanding. She tells me when she's ready to eat and I also have to feed her with a special spoon mixed with a kitty treat which is a smooth liquidy substance (kind of a trick to get her to eat the blended wet food). Today I'll get baby food as well, and let's hope for the best. I love her so much, y'all.

It hits hard as I've always had kitties throughout my entire life, but can honestly say, this little sweet baby is so special. I'm lucky to have her! She communicates with me, knows when I'm sad, and is absolutely perfect in every way.

Thank you in advance whether you can help or not. Please send this girl, my Suri, positive healing vibes. Keep her in your thoughts. I appreciate you all, thank you for reading our story. Will update.

Bright Blessings and Much Love from Kristin and Suri
