Dental Work for Sooty
Donation protected
Sooty is a senior cat who hitched a ride in the engine compartment of a car and found himself who-knows-how-far from home. Clearly he was once someone's pet because he is front declawed and neutered, but he was also clearly starving, so it's difficult to know how long he had been away from home.
He ended up at an overcrowded shelter and they called him "Sooty" because of his markings and the fact that some of his fur was singed during his ordeal. At the shelter his time was quickly running out after his stray hold expired, mainly due to his age.
A volunteer shared his plight on Facebook and my husband and I stepped in to foster him. I took him to the vet last weekend after we noticed that he was having difficulty eating and the vet agreed that he needed a comprehensive dental procedure to extract numerous abcessed teeth (probably most of them).
He's been doing very well otherwise and should have some healthy years ahead of him if we can get him through his dental problems. Unfortunately, dental work is very expensive, so we are reaching out to see if we can crowdfund his care. If we can find him a permanent home in the process, so much the better!
Sooty is the nicest, most mellow cat you could ask for and deserves the chance to live out his days safe, pain-free and loved. If you can, please help us make that happen.
