Help Sunkist Eat Without Pain Again

For three years, Sunkist has been a beloved part of his rescue family.

This handsome 6 year old boy was rescued from a shelter and has since become the resident cat at Ginger Cat Rescue, winning over volunteers and supporters alike with his sweet, easygoing personality. Sunkist is known for being such a good sport, he happily poses in adorable hats and costumes, making everyone smile with his playful spirit. He's become a favorite among the rescue's supporters, and it's easy to see why.

One day, Sunkist's caregivers noticed something wasn't right. Every so often, he would cry out while eating. Knowing this was unusual, they scheduled him for a dental exam, expecting to find a bad tooth that could easily be treated.

Instead, they received heartbreaking news.

Sunkist was diagnosed with stomatitis, a painful inflammatory disease that causes severe inflammation inside a cat's mouth. For many cats with this condition, every meal becomes painful, and the only way to provide lasting relief is through extensive dental surgery.

After getting in to see a dental specialist, Sunkist's treatment plan was confirmed. He will need all of his back teeth removed, along with dental X-rays and a CT scan to fully evaluate his condition and ensure the best possible outcome.

The estimated cost of his surgery is approximately $6,000.

The thought of this sweet boy quietly living with so much pain is heartbreaking. The same cat who happily lets everyone dress him up in funny hats and costumes deserves to enjoy his favorite things again, including something as simple as eating a meal without hurting.
