Most of you know my good boy, Connor. I’ve had him since he was a curtain-climbing cub. He runs the house, dominates the cat trees and front window, keeps the other cats in line, and just last week, he tracked down and caught a tiny mouse. He’s always been Mr. Confident.

He needs your help. Connor has a severe bone malformation in his jaw that requires advanced dental surgery, estimated between $2,900 and $4,000. Because of the complexity of his case, low-cost facilities aren’t an option — we were turned away when seeking additional opinions and advised to go to a specialized dental center.

I’ve been trying for a year to save for this procedure, but life keeps happening. He’s getting worse and clearly uncomfortable. I’ve always managed to take care of my animals’ needs, but as a single woman, this one is out of reach.

Thank you for helping Connor get back to catching mice and pouncing on his siblings.
