Hi everyone,

My brother's cat Challa was diagnosed with stomatitis, a chronic inflammation of the gums, that requires teeth extraction. This is a painful disease that affects his eating and enjoyment in life, Challa is a young cat and has not been the same since. The vet said that due to the severity of the inflammation, she is expecting that all of his teeth need pulled. This procedure is very costly, close to $2000, and my brother made a go fund me page to try and help with the cost. I wanted to post his fundraiser here in hopes to help him out.

I realize that times are tough right now, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate or guilty if you don't. If you happen to be in a position where you can donate a little, any little bit helps. Thank you!

As a tip, it's good policy to give pictures and a bit about your cat before asking for help. Being apologetic for asking also helps I think. No one wants their cute cat pictures feed to become just people begging for handouts. Make the posts about the cat with the ask at the end with an apology. Give cat tax first, ask for help after.

    There are pictures of him on the site, but I realize now I probably should have got more pics of him and posted on here. I've never done this before and wasn't sure how best to ask for help. But seeing how ppl don't like my post I realize I could have done it better. Thank you for your tips.
