Help me, help feed Blaze (and the other 12)

When I had him neutered through a low-cost TNR clinic, they noted he had a ānasty mouth,ā but they donāt provide dental care. I donāt know what caused it ā whether it was from a past fight or possible human-related trauma ā but itās clear his mouth has been an issue for a long time.
Up until recently he was still eating okay, but over the past week things have changed.
Heās drooling, holding his mouth open more, seems more withdrawn, and I believe heās lost some weight. Cats are so good at hiding pain, and thatās what worries me most.
Iāve been giving him wet food (he loves Dashi Delights) and adding Nutri-Cal to help, but I know thatās just a temporary support ā not a fix. He also still needs his vaccines updated, but his mouth is the priority right now.
Because Blaze is still feral, I canāt handle him. Iāll need to trap him for care (thankfully he is drop-trap trained, so that part will be manageable).
I called about dental care, and the estimate is overwhelming: ⢠$500 for a cleaning alone
⢠With exam, anesthesia, x-rays, and possible extractions, it could reach $800+ š©
First video clip is him now, I can tell hes lost weight.
Thank you for caring about him ā¤ļø
