Hugs is a 4-year-old Shorthair Cat in OH who needs $1,600 for Oral Surgery.

We adopted hugs about four years ago from a shelter. He has three cat siblings that he loves and that love him. He got his name because he gives the best hugs and is a very lovey cat <3 He’s bonded to our other cat named garbanzo and they do everything together, wherever hugs is garbanzo is following closely behind. They eat together, sleep together and play together.

He loves to burrow in blankets and carry around stuffed animals. Hugs will run to you as soon as you open the front door. He’s really snuggly and will jump right into your lap to cuddle. He loves everyone and even likes other animals. He’s curious about the outdoors so in the summer we set him up a little catio.

He loves tortillas and any kind of bread. His favorite toy is a laser pointer or the disco ball when it’s sunny out. He will carry around any stuffed animal he can get to. He sits in the window and will chirp at the birds all day long. He’s also a pro fly and knat catcher. He’s super goofy and really uncoordinated.

Hugs was diagnosed with stomatitis about a year ago. We’ve tried a handful of medications/treatments that have not worked. Sadly, he needs to have all of his teeth removed as he’s in a lot of pain. We originally were trying to save his teeth but nothing worked and he really needs a full extraction.

We recently lost our apartment to a fire on Christmas. This would help out a lot with his medical bills. We’ve got some money saved up that will go towards his bills.
