Help Leelu Overcome Her Health Challenges

Leelu fell into our lives a year ago when our neighbor knocked on our window one day and told us there was a kitten that had been crying in her front yard all night. We found the poor baby hiding under a shrub. She was cold and her meow was scratchy from crying so much. When we scooped her up, she began purring immediately. She knew she was safe and had found her forever home.

We call her "lil' bit" because of how petite she is. She's our tiny little ray of star shine, our little girl with the big round eyes and tiny squeak of a meow. She'll sit in your lap all day if you let her and take away all your stress. She loves caves, chasing strings and taking naps. She's our little burst of joy and we can't imagine our life without her.

Recently Leelu has been having trouble with coordination and balance. Her limbs seem weak and wobbly, and she's restless and unsteady. We took her to the emergency vet and after blood tests and xrays, it might be FIP. She needs to see a neurologist for a spinal tap and MRI to decide what treatment should look like. If it is FIP, she would need ongoing treatment to beat it, but it is beatable.

We want to give little Leelu a fighting chance. The quote we were given was $5000 to $6000 for the MRI and spinal tap. At this time, we cannot afford that on our own and though it is very difficult for us to do so, we’re asking for help from anyone who can find it in their heart to help little Leelu get better and live the life she deserves. Thank you to anyone who reads this and our gratitude to anyone who donates any amount.
