If you remember, years ago, the NightBlooming community banded together and helped me raise enough money so that a blind kitten could see. That kitten was Tsavo, and the surgery worked! He lived a long, happy, egregiously spoiled life until he passed a few years ago. He was the store mascot, and you can see him on the cover of the DIY Garden Pergola Cat Enclosure Guide.

A couple months ago I sent you an email about his sister, Zerah. She's been very healthy, but both her upper canines were chipped. We know that extracting them would be hard on her, and might risk her eventually losing the lower ones too. We drove hours to a specialist for a second opinion and hoped for a way to have the teeth capped, but her white blood cell count was up and we knew we were racing a bit of time before her teeth become infected, abscessed, and extraction inevitable.

We got a one in a million lucky result.

Zerah is a special, strange, magical creature and we want her to be as healthy and happy for as long as possible. With her teeth sorted, we've now got many good years ahead of her, but holy cats (no pun intended) was getting there a journey.

You have to read it to believe it. It involves getting lost, getting pulled over with a screaming cat in the car, thunderstorms, a wild turkey, and a result so surprising the doctor followed up and asked to write about Zerah's case in a pet dentistry journal.
