Ella is a 5-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Tampa, FL, who needs $650 for Tooth Extraction.

Ella is a 5-year-old baby that we adopted at the end of 2017 from the Humane society. She has grown with us through two moves in our local area. Ella was diagnosed with epilepsy at about 16 months old, and has learned to live with seizures, taking medication daily to help keep them at a minimum. She lives with me, her mommy, and her little brother, Smokey.

Ella is the queen of the house and makes sure everyone knows it. She visits us while we sit on the sofa, and makes sure she occupies a lap, no matter how inconvenient her timing can be. She loves to boss around Smokey and makes sure to sit on our bar chairs where she can see us when she cooks. Ella loves to stare out the window and has even made friends with lizards and toads on occasion.

Ella is a sweet and loving baby who brings so much joy into our lives. She loves to play with her crinkly ramen packet toy and chase after the red dot made by the laser pointer. She has learned several commands, including "shake", and she's eager to show off when she can. Her favorite way to show off is rolling around on the upstairs landing, hoping receive some quality back and head scratches.

Ella recently had a seizure that resulted in a chipped top left canine tooth. Chipped teeth are a serious source of concern in cats, as they can lead to infections and be quite painful. Ella needs this tooth removed in order to help relieve some of this pain and prevent any future infections or complications. Ella will be visiting our local non-profit vet for her surgery.

This chipped tooth comes at a time where we recently have gotten married and don't have much left-over money to manage a sudden and costly dental surgery for our cat. We want to provide the best care possible and would graciously accept any and all help.
