Fiona is a 5 Year Old Mix-Breed in Crestwood, IL, Who Needs $2,000 for Extraction Therapy.

I adopted Fiona from Tender Loving Care Animal Shelter on October 22,2022. I kept her name as I thought it was a pretty name and different for a cat. We have been together for 3 years now and have developed a close bond in those 3 years. She loves to play and get my attention. She enjoys laying on my lap which brings her comfort. She has a wonderful character and enjoys her home and life.

On December 2, 2025 I took Fiona to the Veterinary Dental Center in Aurora, IL for a consultation of her teeth. Fiona’s regular vet at Banfield Pet Hospital recommended this center as she developed serious issues with her gums. Fiona has severe gingivitis in all 4 quadrants, inner lip inflammation/fibrosis and sores in the back of her throat. She requires all of her teeth removed to the problem

Fiona loves her catnip toys. I give her regular catnip which she loves. She will even eat some of the catnip. She is afraid of thunder and will come close to me for comfort and will go in a safe place to get away from the sound. She loves sitting on the balcony in the warm months. She loves to have her head rubbed and will nudge me to do so. It is quite cute as she enjoys this.

This was an unexpected expense and news about Fiona’s teeth that they need to all be extracted to combat the disease. I’m retired and on a fixed income. I work part time for added income. My savings is not enough to cover the cost to extract Fiona’s teeth as she needs.
