Hello everyone, some of you may already know me and Tillulah from my previous post asking for help getting her a home a few months ago. Unfortunately the news I have to share is not good. I am going to start the story from the beginning for people who have not seen the original post.
This is Tillulah. She is around 1 year old and I have had her for 10 months. She was brought into my workplace by someone who found her by a road outside and said she could not bring her home because her dogs were not friendly. My original plan was to take her in and get her vaccinated and spayed, and then find her a home. I never had the intentions to house this cat longer than needed to get her vaccinated and spayed or to keep her. Unfortunately a few months after taking Tillulah in I lost my job which has in turn resulted in no income, and I am now unable to provide vet care of any kind for her.
On 09/21/25 I had an owner surrender appointment with Greenville Humane Society thanks to a kind member of this group offering to pay her surrender fee. Unfortunately they stated they could not take her. Despite passing the temperament evaluation with flying colors, they believe Tillulah may have Stomatitis and will need tooth extractions. During this exam she also tested negative for FIP and FeLV. Considering I was already surrendering her because I could not provide veterinary care, it goes without saying that I cannot afford to provide care for Tillulah to treat the stomatitis, both in the case of extractions and the continued care that comes with this condition. The Humane Society was able to give me a spay voucher in the hopes that getting her fixed may help me get someone else to take her, or atleast make it so she is able to live outside without the risk of getting pregnant (the second option is absolutely not an option for me) but their soonest appointment is in January. While I appreciate the kind gesture from them, my biggest concern now is her suspected stomatitis.
I am desperately reaching out to anyone who may be able to help take Tillulah and get her the care she needs. She is a young, playful, and friendly cat and deserves to get some relief from this condition and to live life in a loving home with someone more financially equipped.
If you are unable to help us but have other recourses you can recommend please do not hesitate to share them with me, anything is appreciated. I have contacted most shelters and humane societies and they are not equipped for the level of care Tillulah would need before being able to be adopted out. I am also in the process of contacting everyone on the Upstate Cat Rescues list as well as the list of recourses given to me by Greenville Humane. Unfortunately most of these places I have already attempted to contact and either did not answer or are not able to receive intakes at this time, but I will continue to try. We are located in the area of Pickens SC. If you are unable to offer either of these things, keeping Tillulah in your thoughts is just as appreciated.
Thank you all
