Claire is a 10 year old Mix-Breed in Toronto, ON, who needs $4,000 for Tooth Extraction.

My name is Claire. I was born feral and being so loving, no one realized that I was homeless. My Daddies adopted me when I was about a year old. They named me after an Outlander character because I am so brave and smart. My family included a canine, Chloe and another cat, Julia. Julia died of cancer in 2020. They then adopted a kitten, my best friend, Merlin. In 2021, a Daddy and Chloe died.

There were no issues in last year’s checkup. However, a week ago she started reacting with pain when trying to eat. It was an infected tooth. They felt that it would be necessary to pull the tooth and any other associated teeth. The quote was for+/- $4,000. It is money I can't afford, but she is so important to us. I can't imagine life without her sunny, playful personality. I need help.

Claire is a lover, lap cat, cuddler (for me and Merlin), door greeter, sometimes mischief maker, play buddy, comfort cat, best friend, survivor, nibbler (if you don’t pay her attention), purrer, and best friend. To meet her is to fall in love. She deserves to be healthy because she works so hard to make the people and animals around her happy. She sets the tone for the house by just being around.

I live on a fixed income barely living on what I have. She has been such a joy after so much painful loss experienced in a relatively short time. Merlin has not reacted well to her pain and inactivity. She is his best friend, sister, and mother. This has been a real blow.
