Our next door neighbor unexpectedly passed away last May and unexpectedly left his 3 kitties homeless…after a month they were invited to our house by our own aging cat. One of the kitties (a white DSH with yellow eyes…I named him Kimba) is experiencing a very painful condition in his mouth called "stomatitis". We had him checked at the vet and he is negative on live threatening diseases…but it will cost around $800.00 to have his teeth removed to stop the horrible pain. In the meantime we have him on l-lysine for cats and a special anti plaque powder and colloidal silver…he is finally eating with less pain now but he still has episodes of pain when he forgets and yawns…(poor baby). He is a great cat…my husband adores him which is a miracle unto itself. So I thought a way to raise the funds needed for his dental surgery is to make needle felted soft sculptures of him…I hope you think that's as good an idea as I do. He is one of the most grateful souls I have ever met. Here is Kimba enjoying my husbands lap.
