Give Ringo a Chance: Vet Help Needed for Senior Rescue Cat

URGENT: Please Help Save Ringo, the Senior Cat in Desperate Need of Vet Care

Hello, my name is Irina Robinson, and I live in Toms River, New Jersey.

Ringo is a senior, deaf cat who spent her whole life on the streets. She’s over 10 years old (possibly 12) and now suffering from severe dental issues. Her jaw is swollen, her mouth bleeds and leaks pus, and she’s in constant, excruciating pain. According to neighbors, this condition began long ago but has worsened without medical care.

I’ve been caring for Ringo for the past year, helping her through a brutal winter with an insulated cat house and heating pad on my porch. Once I dewormed her and provided healthy food, her health improved—she even started playing and chasing birds again.

But recently, she stopped eating for four days. She’d cry out in pain every time her mouth touched food. It was heartbreaking. I was finally able to trap her and take her to GSVS on April 24. She had to be sedated for an exam, which revealed a growth in her mouth. We don’t yet know if it’s benign or malignant—I couldn’t afford the biopsy. Surgery is needed either way, and it could cost several thousand dollars. Her initial visit already cost nearly $600, which I paid out of pocket.

My husband is disabled, and we also care for three other rescued cats. We simply can’t do this alone.

Ringo is now on short-term pain meds and antibiotics: – 10 days of Gabapentin

– 3 days of Onsior

– 7 days of Clindamycin

She’s eating again—four times just this morning! But once the meds run out, the pain will return, and she may stop eating again. I fear I’ll be forced to put her down simply because we can’t afford treatment.

Animal Control offered no help—just euthanasia. But Ringo wants to live. She still has fight and spirit. She deserves a chance.

Please help me save her. Every dollar and every share matters.
