Help Oreo Get the Pain Relief He Desperately Needs

Meet Oreo, a handsome ten-year-old tuxedo cat from California who has been a source of love, comfort, and emotional support for his devoted mom for nearly a decade. Now, this sweet senior boy urgently needs help.

Oreo has been diagnosed with painful dental disease causing infections and inflammation, along with stomach inflammation that also requires treatment. His veterinarian has recommended urgent dental care, including possible extractions, to relieve his pain and restore his quality of life. The estimated cost for his treatment begins at $404.31 and may increase depending on how many teeth need to be removed.

Thankfully, Oreo’s veterinarian is optimistic and believes he is expected to make an excellent recovery after surgery. But before that can happen, his mom needs help covering the cost of his care. With the support of a $150 grant from Paws 4 A Cure, she is still trying to raise an additional $400 so Oreo can finally receive the treatment he desperately needs.

Oreo’s mom shared:

\_"Oreo is my emotional support animal, my comfort, and truly my whole world. For the past eight years, Oreo has inspired me to stay sober and become a better version of myself. He makes me feel safe and reminds me every day that I am not alone."\_

Oreo came into her life after being rescued from a sober living home, and ever since then, the two have been inseparable. Through every challenge, Oreo has been there — offering unconditional love, comfort, and companionship during her recovery journey. Now Oreo is the one who needs support.

Dental disease is incredibly painful for cats and can affect their ability to eat, groom, and enjoy daily life. Without treatment, infections can worsen and lead to even more serious health complications. Oreo deserves the chance to live comfortably and pain-free surrounded by the person who loves him so deeply.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help Oreo receive the veterinary care he urgently needs. Every dollar brings him one step closer to healing and relief.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing Oreo’s story can make a huge difference and help him reach more compassionate supporters. Thank you for being part of Oreo’s journey and for helping this special boy get the care he deserves. 💜
