My two senior cats require dental at the same time, the cost together will most likely be ~$3000+, I am disabled and unable to afford this.
Thames, Waikato
My two cats, Tosh and Fedex (ages 7 and 10, respectively), are in desperate need of dental cleaning and possible extraction.
Fedex has a condition where he doesn't chew his food, so his dental is often in bad condition, leading to extractions. Tosh's dental treatment coincides with Fedex's dental need, so now I am looking at two vet dental bills. All single dental bills in the past have easily cleared $1000, once $2000. The quote I have been given from my vet, including extractions (my cats are related and have bad dental genes), is $1050-$1690, and now I'm looking at two dental treatments which could combine to around potentially $3000+.
I live with a disability, I am on a disability benefit due to it, I live with severe chronic pain, and have no chance at finding a job or means of making money. I got both cats when I was in a more stable situation, having a co-owner parent with a job. After COVID-19 I no longer have the means to this. Living is getting harder and harder for everyone, and even with all the penny-pinching I do, all my budget goes on rent, power/water/food bills, and medical expenses—what I manage to save is very minimal.
My cats are both senior cats, and both have medications, special diets, disabilities, and constant vet trips—its all expensive and adds up so quickly. So even what I can save, a lot of it already goes on this necessary upkeep.
A vet quote can be seen in the gallery as evidence.
Please help me, they are my everything. 🩷
Tosh and Fedex are my cats, I have raised them both since kittens, they are both disabled like me and require a lot of love and medical treatments, especially getting older. These cats are my children, they mean the world to me and more.
Vet bills, specifically both my cats upcoming (and ongoing) dental treatment. One cat is already expensive, but two at once is too much. If any extra is made it will go into my vet savings for the future, it will never be spent on anything else.
