Honey is a 3-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Winter Springs, FL, who needs $1,500 for Stomatitis- Full Mouth Extraction.

Honey just turned 3 in August. We rescued her from a shelter when she was around 7 months. She is my college age daughters cat but we all were quickly attached to her. We adopted a sister for Honey about 4 months ago but since she got sick shortly after Honey has not been able to enjoy having a playmate.

Honey is normal very playful. Loves laser lights and ribbon toys. She likes to sleep cuddled up in my bed and loves laying in the sun on the back porch. Since she has been sick she is not her playful self. It hurts my heart to see her struggle to eat. She has not bonded much with our new cat but I am hopeful that she will once she is feeling better.

You can tell Honey is happy when meets me at the door when I get home for a headbutt. She loves to sit on my lap and will purr loudly when scratched behind her ears. We still bring out her favorite rainbow ribbon everyday even though she is not playing as much. I can tell she misses her treats because she will go stand by the cabinet door but she can't currently eat them. :(

She hadn't been eating and was losing weight, so we took her to the vet for a check-up. When the vet said it was FIP - Feline Infectious Peritonitis, we were devastated. Her globulin levels are really high and they sent us to a specialist. After over $1600 diagnosed her with Stomatitis and would need a full mouth extraction.

We are on a fixed income. I am the only one that works. My daughter is in college and my son is disabled so while we get by paycheck to paycheck we are not able to take on medical bills of this size.
