Help "Whiskers" Dental Surgery

Donation protected

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to look at my cause. This is Whiskers, my 10 year old long-haired domestic cat. I've had her since she was a kitten.

Recently she's been in a lot of pain and discomfort; every time she tries to eat anything solid, I see the shock and hear her painful cries as she gives up immediately. She's been eating a lot less than she normally does for a week now and I was beginning to fear for her. Her stomach is extremely sensitive to soft food and throws up any I've fed her within 30 minutes of eating. Fortunately however, I might have found one last night that she's able to tolerate. She must have been starving as the moment I put it down she jumped up to her dish, rubbing up against me purring before attempting to eat. She ate half of it before going to lay down for 5 minutes, I assume because she's also scared she's going to throw it up. As soon as she began feeling better she went back to finish it off. This was a huge moment of relief for me, knowing she's at least able to eat something.

This week I took her to a vet and was told her two bottom fangs must be removed as they are rotting and her gums have a high potential of dying if not removed soon. I was also advised that her other teeth need a cleaning to remove tarter & calculus to drastically lower the chances of the disease of her two lower fangs spreading to her healthy teeth.

The bill quoted to me was between $1480 & $1,945 (entire quote below). The range is apparently in case they need more time to extract the tooth, or if they find anymore teeth that need to be extracted. Unfortunately I'm unable to afford the bill in it's entirety as I live on disability and have a low income. I've called every vet in my area to find a lower price to no avail.

Whiskers is a very loving cat, she wakes me up every morning just to have someone cuddle with her. She's as active as the day I got her as a kitten, always sprinting across the floor just to come to a complete stop so she can slide across the tiles. Ever since she was a kitten she's attempted to climb the door frames of my bedroom and bathroom. I can't tolerate seeing her suffering. I've started saving to try to afford her surgery, but given my low income it may take years to get enough money together to afford it.

If you or anyone you know can donate even $5 to Whiskers' fund, it would be a huge help. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this GoFundMe & Whiskers' story. 

Please if you are able to help me out it would mean the world to me and whiskers.

Thank you so much,
Sarah & Whiskers
