Christine Kennedy Smith hasn't added a story.
(Here is Champ the day I brought him home)
A year and 3 months ago I went to the local animal shelter to find a new family member and met Champ. Champ actually picked me I think and I instantly fell in love with this little blond ball of fur. I immediately took him to the vet and he had an upper respitory infection, eye infection, fleas, ear mites and every type of worm a kitten can get. It took 3 rounds of antibiotics to bring him back to health and unfortunately his immune system took the brunt of the neglect he had before I found him.
At 9 months, he developed Stomatitis ("The feline immune system seems to overreact to dental plaque around a cat's teeth, triggering inflammation in the tissues of the mouth.") He had endured many bouts of very painful and inflamed gums since this has started and cannot eat when it is bad. The only treatment to manage this is removal of his teeth which I have scheduled this Tuesday, March 25th. Surgery is very expensive and I am going to do everything I can, sell off anything I can worth money and move Heaven and Earth to pay for it, but for once in my life I am admitting I could use a little help! I am hoping to raise half the cost of the surgery so I will not owe the half of the bill I can't cover right away! If you can help, it will be greatly appreciated!
I hope my story does not discourage people from adopting their next pet! If it weren't for people like us, with our caring hearts, these animals would be put to sleep or die a suffering death! I DID NOT RESCUE CHAMP...HE RESCUED ME!
Here is Champ now!
