It’s $5 Friday.

Unfortunately this is the week of bad and expensive veterinary news.

Honeybun had her midway FIP bloodwork and recheck appointment. Unfortunately, while she had gained weight, this sinister disease still continues to wreak havoc on her internal system. We will need to double the dosage of her FIP meds and do them for an additional 84 days. Double the dose and additional time means additional expense. We need funds.

Next, Chai. Chai has been an ongoing medical issue since coming into rescue. She’s had nonstop problems and diarrhea. We can assume horrible breeding. But so far this poor girl has had:

• regular fecal testing (negative)
• fecal PCR testing (negative)
• multiple rounds of stomach medicines
• daily probiotics and fiber for basically her whole life
• prescription gastrointestinal food trial - failed
• limited ingredient diet trial - failed
• hydrolyzed diet trial
• failed fecal transplant - failed
• heart testing - negative for issues
• Cortisol testing- negative
• so much blood testing, X-rays, etc

And meanwhile our girl is just flailing and fading before our eyes. She needs even more intensive specialty diagnostics NOW. I can keep a cat going artificially forever, but she needs answers and help NOW. This takes funds and as you know we’re swimming in expenses. We don’t need a hundred dollars we need THOUSANDS. YESTERDAY. Thanks to the cat warriors we were able to cover rent, but we’re still trying to cover electric next and our vet bills.

So please throw your favorite cat rescue some funds. And please be on the look out for our Christmas Cash 50/50, our biggest fundraiser which starts on Sunday.
