Kiko needs your help to fight FIP
Donation protected
When we brought Kiko and his sister Lulu home from the Humane Society in November 2020, they were a couple of healthy, happy and very energetic 2 month old kittens. They played with each other for hours, ate lots of food and grew quickly. They were also affectionate and loved sitting on our laps.
Sadly, starting around the beginning of May 2021, we noticed Kiko slowing down a bit. By the middle of May he had almost stopped eating and was noticeably thin compared to Lulu. He was also pale and felt warm. Three vet visits and several blood tests and x-rays later we received the devastating news that he probably has FIP, or Feline Infectious Peritonitis. He has the dry/neuro/ocular form of FIP. All three vets who looked at his case could only offer euthanasia before he starved to death.
In desperation, we did some research about this terrible disease and found out that there is a treatment for it, but the medicine can only be purchased online and it is very expensive. You can read about FIP and the people who are trying to find an easier and less expensive cure for it here: https://sockfip.org/
The treatment has a very good chance of working, though involves giving Kiko injections of the medicine every day for 12 weeks. The weekly cost is approximately $200, and will go up as he gains weight. Please help us give Kiko a chance to live. Every dollar will help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Ory Family.
