**Update** Precious has now ended up at the Vet ER 3 times this month, I received a diagnosis of another chronic condition that will need medication as well as a will need to follow up on some imaging she had done for possible bone disease. She can barely walk now she has more appointments scheduled to get the long term care plan. But she's in high hopes and stable condition.
Lillie and Squeaks had their procedures and are doing very well 🙂 Thank you everyone.
My story is long but familiar.
Like a lot of people I've had many struggles in my life. Between my own medical issues, surgeries and bed rests to Divorce and starting over... the one thing that has always gotten me through every day is the kitties that saved me.
I can't have children so to me, I've dedicated my life to rescuing and giving a home to animals left behind.
Unfortunately, times are hard financially right now and these kitties are needing help that I can't afford.
Precious is a 14 year old smoke.. I fell in love with her at first sight in 2009.. she came.with some chronic issues that were manageable in the long term but recently with age developed an infection. She has received antibiotics thus far but will need further testing.
Lillie I rescued shortly after to give precious a friend. She is the smallest friendliest little girl but she recently lost a canine tooth and the roots are still intact and causing her pain with eating. She will need to have surgery to have the remnants removed and further teeth assessed due to age. She is currently on antibiotics for the infection.
Squeaks is my little cuddle buddy, he was abandoned in a cardboard box in a parking lot. Whoever had him before left him with a towel and some kitty treats in the middle of arizona summer. He was only 6 weeks old. Dehydrated, malnourished but so incredibly sweet. Everyone calls him the melatonin kitty because the second he lays up next to you, his presence is so calming that he can put your straight to sleep. He recently broke a molar which caused an infection. He has been treated with antibiotics but his gums are swollen and the vet is recommending multiple extractions due to his age.
Precious and Lillie are 14 years old, Squeaks is 13. I have had them their entire lives and I would never rehome them no matter what my circumstances are. They've come first when I was flat broke they've always had food and a roof over their heads. I'd feed them before myself and I'd get them medical care before myself.
This has all been very heavy as all 3 have had different medical needs occur within the same time as eachother and unfortunately that is common given their ages.
They're otherwise is stable non life threatening condition but their needs require being addressed sooner rather than later for their well being.
I live on a single income and opening credit accounts is not an option. They are all insured but unfortunately it will not cover dental.
I am doing everything I can think of to get them scheduled for their next appointments as soon as possible so far this week ive already spent $800 and the next stage is an estimated $2500 minimum.
I thank and appreciate everyone who's taken the time to read my story.
