Bebe is a 8 year old Munchkin in Mount Airy, NC, who needs $220 for Dental/Oral Surgery to Repair Oronasal Fistula.

I adopted Bebe from a New Hanover County shelter near Wilmington in 2017 after losing my longtime cat, Ace. She was about 6 weeks old, huddled in the back with huge eyes, and I fell in love instantly. She has short little legs (likely a munchkin mix) and is endlessly determined anyway. She’s an indoor family cat and my daughter’s constant companion. She is an FIP survivor for the last 3 years.

Bebe is being treated at Animal Medical Services (Mount Airy, NC) for a reopened oronasal fistula (a small opening between her mouth and sinus from a past dental extraction). You can see the opening in the video I uploaded. Without repair she gets recurrent sinus infections and needs antibiotics to stay well. A single sedated dental/oral procedure should allow evaluation and definitive closure to

Bebe is a people-cat. She doesn’t quite understand other cats (she was taken from her litter too early), but she adores her humans. She sleeps under the covers with me every night and starts purring the second she gets a hug. Even at 8, she’ll chase her tail and chew my office chair—short legs and all, she’s endlessly determined.

My husband suffered a serious workplace injury 10 months ago and is still awaiting workers’ comp/lost wages, leaving our family with no emergency fund. We’ve managed with help from loved ones, but we can’t cover this surgery. Bebe is our best friend.
