Tristan. (Sandy Geddry)
In one way or another, all the animals that come into Responsible Pet Care will receive some kind of medical attention. It may be as simple as a rabies vaccination or as complicated as the surgery that Tristan needs.
Tristan is a 2-year-old domestic, long-hair kitty that is just a joy. His caregivers noticed he wasn’t eating. They were concerned he wasn’t feeling well and brought him to the veterinarian. It turns out they were correct.
Tristan has major periodontal disease. This is very unusual in a cat his age. He needs extensive oral surgery. The cost of this surgery will be between $1,700 and $2,000.
Tristan deserves a chance to have a good life. He has many years ahead of him to make someone very happy.
Responsible Pet Care is raising money for the medical fund that will pay for Tristan’s surgery. He is just one of the animals that will benefit from the medical fund.
To make a donation to Responsible Pet Care’s medical fund you can send a check to P.O. Box 82, Norway, ME 04268; stop by the shelter, call 743-8679 to use a credit card; or use PayPal online.
