Story
Miko, a handsome boy from North Carolina, has several bad teeth. In 2022, Miko experienced a life-threatening urinary blockage and has since been on a prescription urinary canned food diet to prevent another blockage. While his soft food isn't inherently harmful for Mikoβs teeth, it lacks the same mechanical cleaning action as dry food, leading to increased plaque buildup and dental issues.
Miko requires dental surgery to remove some infected teeth and to undergo a thorough cleaning, estimated to cost between $900.68 and $1,020.68. Unfortunately, Mikoβs mom is low-income and receives government assistance after suffering a devastating back injury, which makes it impossible for her to find employment that accommodates her disability.
Miko's mom said, "Miko is our orange kitty who is quite the entertainment. He makes my daughter and I laugh on a daily basis and heβs very mischievous but also very sweet.β
At only 9 years old, Miko has no underlying conditions aside from his periodontal disease. This surgery will help ensure that Miko remains a happy and healthy kitty. Can you help handsome boy Miko live a good life?
