Chai is a 17 year old American Shorthair in Chicago, IL, who needs $2,500 for Comprehensive Oral Treatment.

Meet Chai. This sweet girl recently celebrated her 17th birthday! When Chai was a kitten, she was found on a farm in Iowa where she was stuck in a soy bean bag and brought to Chicago by a coworker's sister. I have taken care of Chai since she was just a few weeks old; she has spent her entire 17 years by my side. This farm turned city kitty lives with her two humans who love her very much.

Chai is currently experiencing painful dental issues, most likely tooth resorption, and needs to undergo oral surgery to clean, extract, and examine her mouth to provide necessary relief in her golden years. She has already undergone a heavy round of antibiotics, but this only provides temporary relief. BLVD Cat will do the procedure 8/26/26 pending additional bloodwork to clear her for surgery.

I may be a bit biased, but Chai is one special kitty. Her fur is a lovely diluted orange (only about 20% of orange cats are female!) and one of her pupils never fully developed and is always dilated. Because of this she kinda looks like an anime character o_O but that doesn't stop her from living her best life! She is a chatty and youthful 17 year old kitty who LOVES to play fetch! (see video!)

Her procedure is estimated to cost $2,100 - $2,544; while I have already put down the 20% surgery deposit, this unexpected expense is more than we can cover. Things are hard for many right now, but if you are able, Chai and I would greatly appreciate your support. <3
