🦖 $5 FRIDAY: Pterodactyl Needs a Little Love (and a Big Dental!) 🦷

Pterodactyl, a young polydactyl (extra toes!) domestic shorthair cat, came to us as a stray and gave birth to three kittens on the very same day she arrived. She headed off to foster, where she did a fantastic job raising her little dinosaurs. All three kittens have since found their forever homes, and now it's Mama's turn to get some much-needed attention!

Unfortunately, Pterodactyl has severe stomatitis, a painful inflammatory condition affecting the mouth, and she needs substantial dental care. This isn't a routine cleaning or a quick fix. Her dental will need to be performed off-site by a veterinary provider with the equipment and setup necessary to handle a case like hers.

The estimated cost? Around $2,000.

Pterodactyl is still a young cat, and quite possibly the sweetest cat on the planet. She's spent her time in our care looking after her babies, and now it's our turn to look after her.

For this week's $5 Friday, we're asking our community to help us get Mama Pterodactyl the dental care she needs. Five dollars might not seem like much on its own, but when a whole community pitches in, it adds up to a whole lot of healing.

Let's get this mama feeling better so she can enjoy the rest of her life without the burden of a painful mouth. ❤️

Can you spare $5 for Pterodactyl? Every dollar helps get her one step closer to feeling better!
