Nicholas is a 10-year-old cat in Bethlehem, PA, who needs $1,737 for Mouth Surgery.

My cat Nicholas, his brother Justin, and sister Holly, were trapped at one of two feral colonies, that I was maintaining. They were trapped at a municipal building in Bethlehem. Although I could never socialize them, and adopt them out, they became an important part of my family. They got to grow up, and stay in my home.

I got to watch Nicholas,Justin, and Holly grow up to be very beautiful cats. They became important family members , even though I could never touch them. Nicholas grew into a very large, fluffy cat, and so did his sister Holly. Justin into a large short hair. They are beautiful brown tigers. The boys sit next to each other in beds, under my dining room table. Holly sits nearby.

I have dedicated my life to care for ALL animals. I became a certified veterinary technician, and worked at an animal hospital. I paid to have each animal neutered and vaccinated. I was able to adopt out over 100 cats, and 2 dogs. Due to chronic pain, I can't work.

Nicholas was hypersalivating, and so came the chase, to catch him. I
was successful at looking into his mouth. He had a lot of swelling in his mouth, and was painful, as he pulled back, on inspection of his mouth. I was able to have him seen right away at VCA Northside in Bethlehem. Doctor Stickler was able to examine him, without sedation. She recommended a dental with extractions.

Nicholas is a joy to have in my house. He's such a good boy, and never gets himself into trouble. He enjoys rolling around in catnip with all his buddies. He enjoys sitting at the window, on a perch, watching the birds
and squirrels. He enjoys trying to catch the laser light. He is so handsome, with his fluffy coat of hair. He has a white tip on his tail. I call him white tip, Nicholas
