Pringle is a 8 year old American Shorthair in Taylorsville , UT, who needs $1,300 for Teeth Extraction Surgery.

Pringle initially came into our lives as a foster. We had lost a cat unexpectedly earlier in the year, and our hearts were ready to bring another cat into the home, but not quite ready to make the commitment of adoption. When we went to meet the cats at the shelter to choose one to foster, Pringle climbed into my lap immediately and snuggled right up. We adopted him only a couple of months later.

Pringle is FIV+, which has caused stomatitis. Stomatitis is an extremely painful, debilitating inflammation of the mouth and gums. He has received treatment at Murray Animal Hospital. In November 2025, he had surgery to remove some teeth. His condition has been well managed by medications until recently, when he started showing signs of pain again. He needs surgery to remove the rest of his teeth.

Pringle is the sweetest cat in the world. Every single person who has met him has been instantly in love. He loves to snuggle and prefers to be as close to me as he can be. He makes the best biscuits and loves to lie in the sun. He has a little big sister named Hera, who he loves, even though she doesn't always love him back. He's a big fan of churu and always comes running when he hears his food.

We're a young couple — one in graduate school, one working full time — doing our best for a cat who deserves to be out of pain. This surgery came as a major unexpected expense with no emergency fund behind us. We've secured a grant and are contributing everything we can.
