Teak needs dental surgery and possibly all of his teeth removed due to stomatitis.  He went to Elon Animal Hospital on January 4, 2021 for an annual exam and vaccines and we asked for his mouth to be examined closely because his sister had stomatitis which led to having to have all of her teeth removed in November 2020, so we wanted to be sure Teak is in good health.  Well, he needs the same surgery his sister had. Thankfully his mouth issues aren't as severe as hers were - yet... We are trying to prevent him from getting to that point and not having to endure the pain she went through.

Teak and his sister were adopted in 2019 and returned to Sparkle Cat Rescue in late 2020 by no fault of their own. Their adopter didn't even know they had issues with stomatitis. A week after they were returned, his sister Koa had to have her dental surgery. Nearly 2 months later, sister Koa is doing great but she only eats canned food 5 times a day. Teak is doing well at this time eating both dry and canned food and we've started him on clindamycin and we can also give him a small dose of gabepentin as needed.

If you can donate to help with his expenses, we would be so grateful.  Let's help him get a good start to his new year with no future pain and hopefully a furever home once he's recovered.

​Teak is only 1-1/2 years old and the sweetest boy ever.  He sings for his canned food daily. He's going to be singing a lot more because he's going to be eating a lot of it after his upcoming surgery.

We understand if you can't donate to help Teak. We know times are tough for many people. Prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated - and share his fundraiser also!
