Not long ago, I lost my first cat and was having a hard time. I ended up getting a kitten, Pepper, hoping she could bring me some comfort during such a hard time. She did; she was sweet, tiny, and full of love.

But just a few days after bringing her home, she got really sick. She was diagnosed with kitten parvo (feline panleukopenia), and everything happened so fast. I didn’t get much time with her. She declined quickly, and we did everything we could to save her, but she was just too small and hadn’t even had her vaccinations yet. I had never heard of this disease before; it was unexpected and traumatic.

I’m starting this fundraiser in Pepper’s memory to help other kittens like her, especially those in shelters. I want to raise money for treatment for cats diagnosed with parvo and to help more kittens get vaccinated as soon as they arrive at shelters.

Even a small donation can help save a life by treatment or simply vaccinations. Thank you for supporting and sharing.
