Hi friends,

In October 2022, I adopted two incredible kittens, Squid and Tango. They’ve brought so much love and comfort into my life.

Recently, Squid was diagnosed with stomatitis, a severe and painful condition that causes constant inflammation and infection in his mouth. If left untreated, stomatitis can even affect his heart, liver, and kidneys—ultimately affecting his overall quality of life.

After trying other treatments, the only remaining option is for Squid to have all 30 of his teeth removed to end his pain and stop the disease from getting worse.

This surgery is urgent — Squid is constantly uncomfortable, irritable, and no longer able to enjoy being the happy, playful cat he used to be. It’s heartbreaking to watch him suffer like this.

The cost of the procedure is $8,000, which I simply can’t afford on my own. If you’re able to contribute in any way — whether it’s $5 or just sharing this with others — it would mean the world to me and give Squid a real shot at a pain-free, joyful life.

Thank you so much for reading, for caring, and for supporting us through this. Squid and I are deeply grateful.
