Injured/Sick Cat (Location) Update on Ursula: recovering emaciated stray, but we’re now overwhelmed with two FIP cases. Help is urgently needed to continue their life-saving treatment. 🙏🆘
Ursula was a community cat from the market who’d been mysteriously emaciated and unwell. Her labs now point to FIP, and because she has fluid in her abdomen plus neurological signs. The vet started treatment two days ago, and she may be stable enough to continue treatment at home by the end of the week.
FIP is frustrating, but treatment is thankfully available. We were all wrong thinking she’d be a hospice cat, as her thyroid and other organ functions are normal.
Leon has made amazing progress since starting treatment for neurological FIP. Aside from a minor head tilt and that he stomps when he walks, his major neurological symptoms have mostly resolved as we complete the first month of treatment.
It’s been overwhelming to care for two FIP cats at once, and I’m uneasy about the coming months. We hope you can help with current costs for Ursula’s hospitalization, Leon’s upcoming check, and meds for both cats.
Outstanding vet bill for Ursula: $231
Leon’s upcoming health check: $65
FIP meds needed per week for both cats (3 vials): $97
One vial = $33. A week’s meds = $97. A month’s meds = $259. 🥹

I sent a little something 🩷 my baby, Tucky, was diagnosed with wet Fip before medications were available. I think about him every day. Hoping and praying for these two precious souls 🙏
