As you can imagine, we often have seniors come into our care with severe dental issues. Many cats have gone their entire lives without proper dental care, leading to tooth decay, broken teeth, and abscesses, all of which can be extremely painful. Managing dental problems becomes more complicated in seniors, especially when they occur alongside other age-related issues such as renal (kidney) failure.
Because dentals require anesthesia, we take many things into account before deciding, with our trusted veterinarians, to perform a dental. Due to the severity of the dental problems encountered, these procedures are more costly. The average dental for a June’s cat costs about $500.
Last year, we had nine, that’s right…nine, cats who required dentals to maintain their quality of life, making 2023 our largest dental year since we opened our doors in 2013.
So far in 2024, we already have three cats who received or are scheduled for a dental. That's why, for the month of February, we are proclaiming our love of the feline fangs and hosting a dental campaign. Our goal is to raise $5,500 for the dental care of June’s cats throughout 2024, and to create awareness about the importance of dental health for cats everywhere.
