Mam Has Endured Enough Pain—Help Her Smile Again

Mam has already been through one major dental surgery, but her battle with chronic oral pain isn't over yet. This sweet Tennessee kitty suffers from stomatitis, a painful inflammatory disease that causes severe inflammation inside a cat's mouth. Even after having most of her teeth removed last year, Mam continues to struggle with pain every time she tries to eat. Now, she needs one final surgery to remove her remaining teeth so she can finally live the comfortable, pain-free life she deserves.

Mam's journey began eight years ago on a rainy day when her mom found her alone, huddled inside an overturned trash can. She was just a tiny kitten with nowhere to go. That single act of kindness changed both of their lives forever. Since then, Mam has become so much more than a pet.

Her mom says, "Mam is my absolute world, and her unconditional love gives me the strength to get through every single day."

When Mam was diagnosed with severe stomatitis, her veterinarian performed extensive dental extractions in September 2024, hoping that leaving seven healthy teeth would be enough to keep her comfortable. While some cats do well with a few remaining teeth, Mam unfortunately continues to experience painful inflammation that makes eating difficult.

Her veterinarian now believes removing those final seven teeth is the best path forward. The good news is that cats adapt incredibly well to having no teeth, and her veterinarian is optimistic that this surgery will finally provide the lasting relief she's been waiting for.

The estimated cost of Mam's final dental surgery is $750. Thanks to the generosity of Paws 4 A Cure, a $300 grant has already been awarded, leaving $450 still needed to move forward with treatment.
