Help Rodger get urgent marsupialization surgery

Donation protected
Thank you for taking the time to read this page. 
Rodger has a salivary siacocele in her left jaw, which needs to be corrected by a salivary marsupialization. The siacocele has caused her face and neck to swell to the point where she is struggling to eat. The swelling has entered her mouth and now obstructs her tongue and throat. As a result, her oral health has taken a nose-dive, with 2 teeth needing removed. 

My sister and I raised Rodger from the day she was born, so I anticipated certain difficulties with health. But at 3 years old she has now experienced 2 salivary siacocele, which are rare in cats. She's far too young to live in pain or become unable to eat on her own. Rodger has been my everything for the last 3 years, and I plan to fight with everything to keep her healthy and happy. 

All of her current conditions can be addressed in one day's operation. The total estimate for this is $3,357. Once her full exam (under anesthesia at time of operation) has been completed, they may need to reassess the price. And there will be cost in follow-up visits. 

I have been working hard to save the money for this operation, even obtaining a 2nd job and applying for assistance. But due to unfortunate circumstances, I have been denied by CareCredit and ScratchPay. So, Rodger and I are relying heavily on the kindess of others. Wether you are able to help a little or a lot, we would both be greatful. 

All donations will go directly to Rodger's operation and follow-up care. She is being cared for by the wonderful people at Mainely Veterinary Dentristry in Windham, ME. They were extremely kind and did what they could to lower the cost of her care.
