Becky is a 8.5-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in San Francisco , CA, who needs $1,800 for Dental Surgery to Remove her Canine.

I recently adopted Becky from an elderly man who could no longer care for her due to a recent move. If I didn't adopt her at that time she would be sent to the shelter and that's the least thing I wanted to see. I fell in love with Becky after meeting her and now I cannot imagine being without her. She’s a sweet and perfect companion.

She is a sweet and needy cat and wants to be with me all the time. She follows me everywhere I go in my apartment and she sleeps with me every night. When I take showers she will just stand outside quietly. She loves playing hide and seek game and loves people patting on her belly. She snores everything I touch her.

Sometimes I feel she is like a dog. She sometimes sounds like a dog and woofs very often, especially when she is hungry. She loves showing off how huge her belly gets and enjoys it when we pat on her belly. She also loves hiding behind a bed and observing what we do from there. She is a little overweight but she never realizes it. She is a purely indoor cat and gets so nervous outside.

I visited the pet hospital and was told that The canine has an abscess around the root. This will never heal on its own and the tooth needs to be pulled. The tooth could also form a full dental abscess at any time and need to be extracted on an emergency basis. It will be very dangerous for her given that she is a senior cat now.

I work for a nonprofit and live in one of the most expensive city’s in the US. Although I love giving back to my community through my nonprofit work this means that Becky’s emergency surgery is a big financial challenge.
