Owen's dental surgery
Donation protected
Hi there, my name is Leah and my cat Owen and I have been best friends for almost 5 years now. After his most recent vet visit, Owen was diagnosed with progressive gum disease. While I have pet insurance, it unfortunately does not cover dental surgeries. When I got a quote for his surgery, my stomach dropped.
Although he is stable, he is in a lot of pain. He is currently being transitioned off dry food as he is not able to chew without pain. He doesn't want to play anymore, and he only wants to be held or close to me. At this point, he gets irritated when I put him down because he wants to be cuddled so badly.
The quote for the surgery is $2,000 (I will include the vet estimate below for transparency). While I'd love to be able to do this on my own, things are tight right now and taking out another credit card would be incredibly hard financially. Any amount is appreciated, as I understand how tough times are these days. I will also be trying to raise money through other methods, including making Taylor Swift/boygenius/other cross stitch pieces on my twitter. I am so lucky to be a part of two incredible groups of fans that have shown so much support to the community, and aim to give back whenever possible.
Asking for this kind of help isn't easy for me. I truly appreciate any support from the bottom of my heart, whether that be a dollar, a share, or just good thoughts.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart,
Leah
