Hello everyone! I have two major updates to share today, starting with some incredible news: Mandarin’s dental surgery yesterday went great! The vet ended up removing 7 bad teeth, and the total bill came to 3,810 RON (nearly $800 USD). $800 is such a massive, overwhelming amount of money for me, and I am so grateful thinking about how fortunate I am to have your support. I am beyond words, sincerely and deeply thankful to every single person who donated, shared, or sent kind thoughts. Without your extraordinary kindness, I seriously could never have made this surgery happen for him. Knowing that he won't have to live in pain anymore is the greatest gift, and I cannot thank you enough for saving my boy! 💜 He is recovering at home now, eating well, and slowly getting used to his newly healed mouth. We also did some blood tests which aren’t the best, but I think they will improve with fluids.

While focusing on Mandarin, 2 days ago I also found a young cat (around 6–8 months old) wandering near busy traffic and following people. I took her in and noticed she looked pregnant or nursing, so I spent days searching for kittens, but found none. She is completely calm indoors and shows no desire to go back outside. Today I took her to the vet, where they determined she either had a false pregnancy, had an abortion, or was separated from her kittens over a month ago. She is now on antibiotics, medication to reduce her swollen mammary glands, and pest treatments.

Her main issue right now is diarrhea and a weak appetite. I strongly suspect Giardia, but after paying for Mandarin's major procedure, I simply couldn't afford the diagnostic test today. I paid what I could, and it is genuinely sad seeing a cat who is still practically a baby herself go through so much already. And she’s not the only one…

Between Mandarin’s $800 surgery and this new rescue, my financial resources are completely drained. I need help covering her Giardia & FIV/FeLV tests, follow-up medications, and Mandarin would also need dental care products so we never end up in this situation again. Receipts from today's visit and Mandarin’s dental care are attached for full transparency. If you can donate even a small amount, or just boost and share this post, it would help so much. Thank you all for caring and being there for us!
