Bella is a 3-year-old Gray Tabby in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $2,000 for Full Mouth Extraction.

Bella was our first rescue adoption. She was discarded at birth and found in a dumpster. She was fostered and bottle fed so she is very used to being held and cuddled. We had planned to adopt a different cat, but when we arrived he had already been claimed and this little playful love bug caught our eye. When we heard of how she was mistreated we knew that she was the perfect cat for our home.

Bella runs the roost. She acts as the momma cat to our other rescues Apple and Bridger. She follows our daughter around like a shadow and can be found sleeping in her bed every morning. She loves all kinds of treats and watching Movies for Cats on Amazon. She loves to play fight with dad and enjoys sitting on the lap of every visitor that enters our home. She enjoys being cradled like a baby.

Bella spends all day watching “Cat TV” - aka- looking out the window while the leaves fall to the ground and the birds and squirrels play outside. She is the kindest, sweetest animal I have encountered and she loves on everyone she meets. She enjoys napping in the sun, cuddling with Bridger, and chasing laser pointers around for hours on end. She rolls over for belly rubs when ever I am near.

At her 3 year check up we were informed that Bella is suffering from an advanced oral mucosa/dental health issue. She was immediately referred to a cat dentist. Initially she was diagnosed with Stomatitis, but after visiting the oral specialist it was determined that she is dealing with a more severe type of oral infection and unfortunately she will need a full mouth extraction.

After a costly divorce/custody battle, refinancing our home to purchase a car, saving for our daughters college, fixing our other cats teeth ($1000) and possibly having to replace our water heater and roof soon, we simply cannot cover a $6000-10000 up front vet bill.
