I adopted Cleo about 2 years ago. When I went to see her she was so fat, fatter than I was expecting she couldn't even reach her bum and had poo stuck to it.

I being the person I am though this is a cat that needs individual attention especially after her having spent 2 years taking care of motherless kittens in the rescue place.

She wasn't up to date with her shots so I was able to take her to the vet to get them done after I picked her up at no cost. The vet also cleaned her teeth which were BROWN. And she had red along the edge of her gums

I kept her on dry food to this day and her gums are still red. I brush her teeth sometimes in hopes that that will help but so far no luck. She really hates that she fights like crazy

I think her teeth hurt her because she doesn’t crunch her food or treats anymore.

I'd like to take her to the vet but that's just not possible. As much as I love her she's a cat, food and rent are more important.
