Tink came to FFCR as a tiny kitten. Found outside, in the cold by a kind citizen. This caring person immediately got her into her warm house. Tink was so underweight that it was initially thought that she was much younger than her actually age. She was transferred to our rescue and one of our fosters families that specializes in cold, starving kittens took her in to help her. She was put on a diet for her condition that helped her grow big and strong. Unfortunately, her teeth were already adult ones and would not benefit from proper nutrition. The damage was already done.

Once Tink gained the energy to move around, a limp became apparent. At our rescue we see this type of injury often…it comes from travelling under a vehicle and getting off before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Extremely dangerous and life threatening, but most cats jump as the vehicle slows to town speed. With lots of rest and TLC, Tink’s leg healed completely. but we knew we would need to address those teeth at some point. Her teeth were slowly rotting in her mouth. Making her breath smell horrible. 

She required a dental procedure with 18 teeth removed. She has only been one of the many cats this year that has needed expensive dental work. But we would never let a cat suffer, so we got the work done and now Tink needs help paying her vet bill.

She was a total Recovery Rockstar and healed in record time! Back to her shy but playful self. We hope that her confidence grows without those painful teeth and her personality becomes as lovely as her beautiful fur.
