Swarthmore, PA
Jazz is a "foster fail." I started fostering Jazz and her litter-mate, Harmony (Mini) when they were 11 weeks old. They were rescued from a feral cat colony in North Philly. Jazz was just two pounds and Mini (the runt of the litter) was only one pound. They got a false positive on their FeLV test and I had to keep them for 60 days until their next testing. By the time they got their next test result -- which was negative -- I had completely fallen in love with them and decided to keep them for good. As a kitten, Jazz was very friendly and loved to be held. But when she got to be about 6 months old, she became quite people-shy for no reason the vet or I could discern, while Mini continued to be very people-friendly. Now, the vet thinks that her current dental pain may have begun when her adult teeth came in at 6 months, leading her to become anxious and withdrawn. The vet is hopeful that, once this dental procedure is complete and Jazz isn't in pain anymore, she might become confident once again.
Ally
Ally is a 9-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Swarthmore, PA, who needs $455 for dental extraction surgery.
Swarthmore, PA
I adopted Ally 3 years ago when she was 6 years old. When I brought her home, she weighed less than half of her healthy adult weight due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and severe food sensitivities. She was covered in scabs, her fur was coming out in chunks, her ears were infected, 50% of her teeth needed to be removed, she was passing blood, and she was incontinent. I loved her anyways. After 12 months of lots of hard work, puppy training pads, vet visits, medications, experimentation, dental procedures, fundraisers, prescription foods, and dedication, the vets and I were able to get Ally's health under control and give her the life she deserves. Now, I manage her health with one pill a day, a prescription diet, biweekly ear cleanings, and regular vet visits.
