Apollo is a 4-year-old Maine Coon in Indianapolis, IN, who needs $1,545 for Dental with Potential Cheek Teeth Extraction.

I adopted Apollo back in March of 2020, right before the US went into lockdown. I was so lucky to have her during that time. We had so much time to bond. She quickly became my baby.
We had another cat, Paddington. She was scared of Apollo at first. She wasn't used to having another cat in the house. But they eventually become close. They loved to watch birds together.

I'm living in an apartment now and Apollo has two sisters. She and Ali get along well and like to cuddle. Newt is still young and a bit too playful for Apollo, but will still let Newt groom her. They often will sit on my lap together.
Apollo doesn't always want to be touched, but she likes to be near me. If I'm sitting on the couch, Apollo is sitting right under me.

She's a very loud cat. She yells when she's unhappy about a closed door. In true cat fashion, as soon as I let her in, she wants immediately back out.
Sometimes when I'm trying to fall asleep and she wants attention, she's push her head under my hand to try and pet herself.
She loves fresh air. Whenever we open a window or the balcony door, I can see her little nose sniffing.

Apollo has painful gums. She might just be having a reaction to the tartar on her teeth and would only need her teeth cleaned. But she might also have stomatitis. In which case, she'll need to have some of her teeth pulled. They won't be able to tell until she's under. Either way, it's painful for her.

Since I'm in college, I can't work a full time job. Even if I work 30 hours a week, the surgery will cost more than I make in a month. I only had enough Care Credit to pay for pain medicine.
I just want Apollo to be back to her happy, healthy self.
