Jon Snow's Last Hope: Help End His Daily Pain from Severe Feline Stomatitis
Phoenix, AZ • AZ CLAWS Animal Rescue
Meet Jon Snow. True to his name, he is a warrior. Jon Snow suffers from severe feline stomatitis, a devastating immune disease where his body essentially becomes allergic to the tissue in his mouth, causing constant, debilitating inflammation. For three years, we at AZ Claws Animal Rescue have tried everything humanly possible to give this sweet boy relief: Full Mouth Extraction: He underwent surgery to remove all of his teeth, which is usually the cure, but his severe disease persisted. Heavy Medications: He has been on daily immunosuppressive medications for years just to get through the day. Advanced Medicine: He even underwent cutting-edge stem cell treatment, hoping it would reset his immune system. Tragically, none of it has worked. Because his body is fighting itself and relying on heavy daily immunosuppressants, this disease is slowly shortening his life. Our Final Hope: Radiation Therapy Despite everything he has been through, Jon Snow is the sweetest, most loving cat. He isn't ready to give up, and neither are we. He has a long, beautiful life ahead of him if we can just clear this final hurdle. We are down to our very last option: Radiation treatment. This targeted therapy is designed to finally eradicate the stubborn, deep-seated inflammation in his mouth and give him a life completely free of pain. Because this is a highly specialized veterinary procedure, the costs are incredibly high. We cannot do this alone. How You Can Help If you find it in your heart to donate, every single dollar will go directly toward Jon Snow's radiation treatment and specialized medical care. If you aren't able to donate, sharing his story with others means the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us fight for Jon Snow.
