Gimli is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Big Lake, MN, who needs $1,575 for dental surgery to remove broken canines.

Precious Gimli was found abandoned and starving. We picked him up and brought him home. After a vet visit and time to decompress, we started looking for his owner so to no avail. The vet thinks he definitely had a home at some point due to his gentle and friendly demeanor. We started looking for rescues but were turned down by all. We are fostering him in the hopes to get him healthy.

Gimli is currently decompressing and adjusting to his new foster home. Mostly he is just trying to get well. Starting to take soft food. He feels much better after a bath! He was wet cold and covered in urine. He is showing improvement every day! He is learning to trust his foster mom slowly.

We are the guardians of this sweet boy. We have covered his exam, vaccines, wormer, chip and snap testing. We just need a little more help to raise money for his broken teeth. We will then be able to find him a home. We are doing this on our own as the rescues are full.

Gimli has been to the vet and we found out he has 2 broken canine teeth which is likely due to survival. We have been able to cover all of his expenses but just need a little help from some kind people to fix his teeth so that he is healthy enough for adoption. We have found a vet that will do his surgery for a reasonable price. They have been so kind when most vets are so full these days.

It’s hard to believe this little guy was near death when we found him abandoned just a few days ago and now he’s walking and even willing to show his belly as long as you are close by. He is still very afraid and hiding most of the time but we will give him lots of love and help him trust again. #orangecat #cats_of_instagram #abandonedcat
