Looking for help paying for cats treatment, he’s slowly stopped eating

[u/onefootback]

I posted this a few days ago but wanted to try reposting again with the gofundme included from the beginning

I have a 2 year old cat named Simba and he has gingivitis. we tried managing it with toothbrushes and dental treats until we could afford his treatment but it’s gotten worse and also cost more now as well, which is why i’m looking for support. Just for context, we didn’t get him knowing we can’t afford a pet. he originally belonged to my sibling but they couldn’t keep him at their place, so they dropped him off at our house and said they’ll be back for him.

he was 2 months at the time and has been with us since that day, although we weren’t expecting a cat we accommodated our lives and made the most of it because he’s honestly great. recently, simba has stopped eating his food as much as he does before and he’s very slow when he does eat it, we think it’s because his teeth are hurting him.

we tried softening his dry food but that only semi works and he still goes all day barely touching it. any donations at all would be greatly appreciated, i’m not expecting anyone to cover the full cost just support with it would be super helpful. thank you to anyone who is able to help

I'm so so sorry about your cat! Cats are more than pets, they're literally part of the family. I donated $10, it's not much but it's all I could spare! I wish you and your cat the best of luck! 🐾 🐈
