Bridger is a 3-year-old Lynx Point in Hillsboro, OR, who needs $2,000 for Full Mouth Extraction.

Bubba Blue Eyes aka Bridger - is named after Bridger Bowl Montana. He was our third rescue adoption and our first boy kitten. Having a wife, teenage daughter, and 2 other female cats, I requested that we adopt a boy to even out the boy/girl ratio a bit in our home. He has been a part of our family for 3 years now. He has two older sisters (Apple and Bella).

Bridger sleeps in our bed - laying in between me and my wife - after 10 minutes of belly rubs he moves to the bottom of the bed - standing guard over us from the scary noises the house makes at night. He loves being close to us and he trills, gives head bumps, curls up on our laps, uses his paws to reach out and touch us or furniture, and in rare cases he mews - a very timid mew for being 16 lbs.

Bridger must have been a dog in a previous life as he comes on command, heels, and even plays fetch with his favorite toys. He loves going for walks in his cat stroller and he is fascinated by the world outside. When I return home from work he greets me with a loving head bump and he even joins the family for dinner as he has his own seat at the dinner table where he gets his favorite treats.

At his 3 year check up we were informed that Bridger is suffering from an advanced oral mucosa/dental health issue. He was immediately referred to a cat dentist. Initially he was diagnosed with Stomatitis, but after visiting the oral specialist it was determined that he is dealing with a more severe type of oral infection and unfortunately he 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.
