Boo is one of the senior cats rescued early this year. She is pitch black, her eyes are a mess and will continue to be a mess for the rest of her life due to the neglect she suffered. She is so loving and has gone from being a cat completely out of reach (hiding in the rafters) to head-bumping and rubbing on me every time I go into the stall enclosure. Last night, I noticed her mouth was bleeding which caused me concern. I bundled her up and took her to the vet this morning.

She needs to have all her teeth pulled. Her gums are inflamed and eating is painful for her. They gave me an estimate of $492.39 which should cover the dental exam, pain meds, IV’s she will need and because it is dental work and she is so old, they want to do pre-op blood work to be sure it’s safe to do the procedure. I am once again asking for help. I was able to get the vet bill down to $200.00 thanks to recent donations, but this procedure will bump it back up into the $700.00 range.

I looked at this beautiful blackness and told the vet we would go ahead and do the procedure. There is only vet that does dentals so she has been scheduled for the 20th. I know this is going to be so hard and painful for her- but her mouth is really a mess. Until that time, she will get all her food pureed and they put her on pain meds as well. God Bless this kitty- had she had a normal life with someone who cared about her- all of this would be unnecessary.
