Kisame is a 3-year-old Flame-Point Siamese Mix in Riverside, CA, who needs $200 for a minor dental extraction.

I am a foster youth who picked up a pregnant cat when I had just left the system. Her name was Ginger, she gave birth to three beautiful tabbies and this handsome fella! He was born on March 23, 2017, currently 3 1/2 years- old! We live together in a transitional housing program where he helps me as an ESA.

My cat is my emotion support animal. He helps me with my anxiety, depression, and anger. He enjoys cuddles, treats, and plays with the ESA dog that my roommate has, his name is Oliver. Kisame loves to lay in his bed, the couch, follow me around the house, stalk me in the bathroom, and wake me up at 5am on the dot every morning to be fed.

I am an aged-out foster youth, living in transitional housing. My cat provides me with emotional support as well as companionship. I got laid off due to covid and have found it hard to work. My cat means the world to me and my sanity, and I would rather not put him down.

My cat has stomatitis gingivitis, and I am paying for most of the medical expenses. He has an infection in the gums, and it is treatable with a teeth cleaning, and if severe enough teeth extraction, and I CANNOT fully pay for the rest of the bill. It is at Norco Animal Hospital, I was denied care credit and scratch pay, this is my last option.

Why is my cat special? Because he is cross -eyed, and has an eye problem, but like I do! And I think thats just wonderful. He comes when called and knows his name Kisame and Kissy! He's a very sweet and loving boy who loves bags and treats maybe more than me. He is emotionally intelligent and understands my needs without training. Idiosyncratic behavior? He loves to sit and stare at the walls.
