Jude is a 14-year-old Russian Blue Cat in Sedona, AZ, who needs $691 for Oral Mass Removal.

Jude is a rescue cat with special needs. He has feline stomatitis, a dental disease, and had a full dental and root extraction . He lives with me and his kitty girlfriend, Emma. They are a bonded pair and so in love. As a divorced woman with one income, I am doing it all on my own. Not easy sometimes, especially with the financial hits I have taken since the pandemic and recession.

Jude is the most sensitive and loving cat. When he is not intertwined with the beautiful Emma, he is purring in my lap. I consider him to be my emotional support cat. He drapes himself across me whenever I am feeling sad, tired, or unwell. He scarcely left my side when I had COVID. He believes he can heal me with his love, and I believe it, too.

He is so very handsome, yet he has a most judgmental expression on his face. My best friend calls him "The Judgement" . I sometimes call him "Judge Jude". It does appear as if he is judging us and it is so endearing!

He has feline stomatitis, and developed a fluid filled cyst in his mouth. It has to be removed, possibly biopsied, and will require anesthesia. He will be treated by Dr. Barnes at Oak Creek Small Animal Hospital.

I was hit hard by this pandemic and recession.( A Covid layoff, out of state relocation for work, two more moves, my own health issues, medical bills) I want to do everything I can to take care of my sweet boy and any help I can get is much appreciated.
