<div>Nimbus is fighting for his life, and so is our rescue — and we need your help. If you can't donate just now, please SHARE this campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We run <a href="https://www.pookaspurrhouse.org/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pooka’s Purrhouse</a>, a small neighborhood rescue focused on cats at risk of predation. Over the past several years we’ve quietly brought vulnerable neighborhood cats indoors whenever we could. Last year alone, tens of cats — 20–30 in our immediate area — were lost to coyotes. Familiar porch cats. Longtime survivors. It was devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nimbus was one of the vulnerable ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gentle, low-energy, and slightly off-beat, he simply wouldn’t have survived outside. What we now know is that he was already carrying something far worse: FIP, <a href="https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-infectious-peritonitis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a mutation of the feline coronavirus</a> that becomes fatal without treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we brought him in, he began to adjust. He bonded closely with our other rescue, Weasley, and slowly started to feel safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then his appetite dropped. His energy faded.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The diagnosis came back: FIP (<a href="https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-infectious-peritonitis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Feline Infectious Peritonitis</a>).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just a few years ago this would have been a death sentence. <a href="https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/11/vetmed-vth-success-story-lanala.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Today it is treatable</a> — but the treatment is intensive and expensive. Nimbus will require 84 days of antiviral medication, repeated bloodwork, veterinary rechecks, and a full observation period (84 days) afterward — nearly 24 weeks of care in total.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are working with the generosity of the East Bay SPCA for reduced-cost care, but the medication, monitoring, and follow-up visits still add up quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are no guarantees in rescue work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we believe deeply that one life is worth fighting for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cats we’ve brought into our lives have changed us in ways we can’t fully measure — and we believe Nimbus has that same quiet magic in him. He’s resilient, gentle, and he deserves the chance to become someone’s beloved companion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we can get him through this treatment, the goal is simple:
</div>
<div>to find him the home where he can change someone’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He survived coyotes.
</div>
<div>He survived the streets.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we’re asking for help so he can survive this and help connect him with his future Furever home, and so we can continue this work.
