Pickles is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Fairfax, VA, who needs $2,000 for Teeth Extractions.

We adopted him from a foster mom in North Carolina. His foster mom let us know that he was found behind a barn in a puddle, struggling for his life. He was malnourished, dirty, and cold. He was found with the rest of his litter; however, he was the only survivor. He joined a different litter at the foster home with similar ages.

He was recently taken to the vet as his gums were swollen and bleeding. We were told that he has a disease called stomatitis and therefore will need surgery to remove most of his teeth that have been impacted by this disease. The vet explained that this disease most likely impacts his personality (making him more timid), voice strength, and ability to eat.

Pickles is a charming tuxedo man who loves to spend his free time chasing his siblings, receiving belly rubs, and eating yummy churus! He is a very affectionate cat who loves to admire everything around him, including his mom doing any chores around the house.

This unexpected medical situation involving Pickles has caused us concern in providing the necessary finances to complete the recommended procedures by the vet, which include dental extractions.
