Help Mercedes Get the Dental Care She Deserves and Smile Again

Mercedes is a stunning 3-year-old cat with a heart full of love, but she’s been battling a painful condition that has turned her daily meals into a struggle. Mercedes has suffered from stomatitis for a while, which is a severe inflammation of her mouth that makes eating excruciating. She’s been to the vet for dental work before, but her pain persists.

She growls at the chunks of wet food, pawing at her mouth in frustration. It’s clear that something wasn’t addressed in her previous treatments. The vet believes there are still roots left behind from her prior dental procedures, and she likely needs the rest of her teeth removed to find relief once and for all.

Mercedes has an upcoming visit where she’ll undergo a comprehensive dental procedure to finally resolve her stomatitis. However, specialized dental care is expensive, and Adopt a Cat Foundation needs your help to cover the cost of Mercedes’ treatment.

Your donation can make all the difference in giving this sweet girl the chance she deserves to live pain-free. Please consider donating today to help Mercedes heal. Every little bit brings her closer to a brighter, healthier future. She’s counting on you!

Update 12/20/24:
Mercedes had her dental today and the vet's initial suspicions were correct: Mercedes had many roots remaining, which made eating extremely painful. There were a few additional teeth that needed to be removed as well. With all of these gone, Mercedes should start feeling much better very soon!

Update 12/21/24:
Mercedes is doing amazingly well after her dental procedure! It's clear she already feels so much better and is *finally excited to eat (just look at her munching in the video!*). While her mouth still needs some time to heal, she's definitely on the right track!

However, her substantial bill remains, and any donation would be greatly appreciated to help Adopt a Cat Foundation continue supporting Mercedes on her journey to full recovery.

Update 1/16/25:
Mercedes had a bit of a set back. She went in for a recheck because she was still experiencing pain and received pain and antibiotic injections. Hopefully she will be back to her normal self soon!
