(Medicine cost and vet bills below)

Hi, My name is Savvy (short for savanna) and my sweet 2 year old rescue boy Leo (short for Leonard) has had a rough start in life. After being rescued from the pound in AZ as a surrendered kitty at 1 year old in 2021 by my mother, Leo came to live with me in Los Angeles as he was a perfect fit in my home. Today, April 11 2023, Leo was diagnosed with Wet FIP which until the last 5/6 years was a devastatingly 100% fatal disease among kitties. Now, there is a cure but it is not an easily accessible, quick, nor cheap one. Leo will need to receive shots everyday for the next 84 days and the average cost is $30/day of the medicine plus he will need blood work every thirty days, syringes, and additional meds to manage his symptoms while the antiviral cures the FIP. To be honest, what I am asking for is less than this will even remotely cost me but I know as a pet parent I have a responsibility to use as much money I have available to pay for his treatment. What I am asking for here is the additional cost I currently do not see me having readily available in the coming months. He will need over 37 vials of medication by the end of his 84 day treatment.

In the year and a half I have owned Leo he has been sick several times (which now the vets think could be because of the undiagnosed and progressing FIP). He has Asthma and requires prednisolone and Flovent everyday which I have already been paying monthly for. He has been to the ER vet 4 times for emergency respiratory issues, the first leading to his asthma diagnosis, and gastrointestinal issues costing me upwards of $5000 in total already. After today, I have spent an additional $1600 on his ER visit confirming his Wet FIP and his first 10 vials of medication to cure it. Tomorrow he has to have X-rays and ultrasound done to make sure the fluid the Wet FIP is making his body retain is not going to further constrict his breathing as he also as I said before suffers from Asthma. Leo through all of this has been such a happy, chill, and playful boy who loves my dogs more than maybe even himself and always acts like an angel at the vet. He was already abandoned once by his first family at the pound, and I refuse to do the same to him and let him die from a now cureable disease if I can raise the funds. Please if you are capable, donate to this sweet boys treatment so I can give him a very long and loved life among his buddies my dog Bixby and brother kitty Kit.
