Help Mercutio get Dental extractions, anesthesia, and cleaning — Los Angeles, CA

I adopted my cat Mercutio when he was 8-weeks old, while I was an undergraduate at UC Davis in 2012. He has been a perfect companion - he is affectionate and has a big personality. I promised to take care of him forever when I found him but lately he's been slowing down due to arthritis, and he has dental issues we need to urgently address.

He is no longer eating his wet food due to severe dental pain. Despite my attempts to find other brands, textures and flavors, he's starting to reject all of it. Even his beloved Churu treats.

Mercutio has been a loving companion through all of life's ups and downs and helped me survive while struggling from PTSD/major depression resulting from an abusive marriage. His companionship has helped me survive a life-or-death struggle when I was in the depths of darkness in a marriage with a bonafide and diagnosed malignant narcissist.

Declined by CareCredit and Scratch Pay, my credit cards are maxed & my credit score is low. I'm employed but high-interest loans are my only way to get by. Years of trauma from abuse have led to PTSD and depression, making everything harder. It's a struggle to stay afloat.
