Tinsel is a 6-year-old in undefined, undefined, who needs $1,500 for Dermatologist consult and treatment.

Tinsel was welcomed into our home in January of this year. She was found in a cow pasture in our town dirty, covered in fleas, and her ears were infected and full of ear mites which led her to be almost fully deaf. As I continued to work with her each day, our bond grew stronger, which led to me fostering her. After fostering her, we fell in love and couldn't let her go. She is now home!

Tinsel is a quirky, fun-loving kitten! Her and out other 2 cats spend most of the day napping together, and chasing each other around the house. One of her favorite activities is doing acrobats in the shower while making turkey-like noises. She is mischievous, playful, energetic, and she brings such love and joy to our lives every single day.

Along with her being nearly deaf, she has a permanent head tilt. It doesn't cause her any pain, and makes her totally unique. She walks around with her head tilted to the side, which makes her look like she is curious about every single thing she sees! She also has the biggest, beautiful green eyes.

When I brought Tinsel home, I noticed she started over-grooming to the point of losing fur. I thought it was due to stress, but it seems to be deeper than that. After many exams, tests, a food trial, and medications, we are left stumped. Her next step will be to see a dermatologist to see if she is allergic to anything, and if so, what it is and how to treat it.

Unexpected expense, and a costly visit to the dermatologist for allergy testing is needed. With no emergency fund available, I am reaching out for help for Tinsel. She needs help so her itching can be put to rest.
