Dear friends,
We are reaching out to our wonderful community for support. Our beloved rescue cat, Quinn, recently underwent major dental surgery, costing $4,100. This surgery was essential for his health and well-being, and now he's on the road to recovery.
Quinn is FIV-positive, which means his immune system is weak. He's likely to be a permanent foster due to his FIV and extreme sensitivity to stress. Sadly, Quinn was returned to rescue after he spent months hiding under furniture, licking all his fur out, and giving himself sores. Once back with the rescue, his carer tried many things to help him. After a year and a half, Quinn finally settled in and stopped hurting himself. He now has a beautiful coat and lives a happy and healthy life (aside from his current dental issue!).
Recently, Quinn's carer noticed something unusual. When they woke him for breakfast, he was drooling, which was written off as sleepy drool. However, when he had his dinner and was already awake, he was still drooling. Upon checking his mouth, his carer found a large abscess above his top canine, leading to the urgent need for surgery.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Chapel Hill Family Vet, who discounted $1,700 of the costs, Quinn's surgery was made possible. We have covered the remaining $2,400, but we are opening up the opportunity for our community to support Quinn's ongoing care and recovery.
Quinn is currently on a special recovery diet of liquids or small cubes of soft food or meat. He longingly sits beside his microchip feeder and stares as if to ask why he can't have his biscuits. But don't fear, he will be able to have biscuits again once his stitches heal in two weeks.
