Tootsie is a 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair Cat in Jacksonville, FL, who needs $1,553 for Dental Extraction.

Tootsie came into my life after I adopted her the day after Christmas a few years ago. She’s my very first cat and I’ve had her for almost 4 years now. I never asked how she ended up at the adoption place but I was told that she hates people and that she doesn’t like being around other cats and there were at least 100 cats at that place. I knew right away that I have to take her home with me.

She likes to sleep on a pillow above my head and sometimes under a blanket. Tootsie is very skittish so she’s only comfortable to sleep around me and my sister. Her favorite thing to do is go outside and haunt lizards in the backyard. And when she’s not outside, she’s usually by the window to watch more lizards and cars drive by. She talks us into opening the window for her sometimes.

When it comes to treats, she goes crazy for Churus! And despite having toys, she prefers to play with wrappers or anything she can find on the floor. Toosie likes to be hydrated so she spends forever drinking water from her water fountain and I kind of find it funny. She’s easily very scared by movement or noise and we figured she was traumatized by whatever happened to her before we adopted her.

Last month, I took her to FCNMH in Cassat ave cause she was drooling blood. Turns out she has stomatitis and in so much pain. Ever since then, her quality of life had been severely affected. Her demeanor changed, she refused to eat, and had drastic weight loss. We tried to manage the pain with medication but she’s still in pain and not eat.Only option left is to extract the remaining of her teeth.

However, with my emergency fund drained from her previous extraction, the estimate of $1,552.75 to extract the rest of her teeth was a sudden major expense for me. We would appreciate every contribution, no matter how small, to help restore her healthy life.
