Help BamBam Fight FIP
Hi everyone,
I never thought I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out because my sweet boy, BamBam, needs help. He has FIP Neuro, a devastating and often fatal disease, and I’m doing everything I can to fight for him.
BamBam came into my life when I found him and his siblings under a shed in my backyard. From the moment I saw him, I knew I couldn’t leave them there. He’s been my shadow ever since—following me from room to room, greeting me at the door when I come home, and curling up next to me like he belongs nowhere else but right by my side. He’s not just a pet. He’s my baby. My family.
A few weeks ago, I started noticing something was off. His little head would wobble, and he’d lose his balance. I took him to the vet, thinking it was something small, but things kept getting worse. Then, on January 24th, I rushed him to the hospital, and they told me it was FIP. They also told me there was no treatment, and that I should prepare to say goodbye.
I was completely shattered.
But when I looked into BamBam’s eyes, I knew he wasn’t ready to give up. I asked him to blink twice if he wanted to fight—and he did. That was all I needed to hear.
So here we are, fighting.
The treatment for FIP is incredibly expensive, and it’s taking everything I have to keep up with the cost of his medication, blood tests, syringes, and everything else he needs. On top of that, he’s been having seizures, and I’m doing my best to advocate for him and adjust his dosage to give him the best chance.
This experience has turned my world upside down. I barely sleep. I forget to eat. Some days, I feel so hopeless and exhausted that I don’t know how I’m going to keep going. But then I remember—I’m not the one fighting for my life. BamBam is. And I refuse to let him do it alone.
If you’re able to donate, even just $1, it would mean the world to us. Every bit goes directly toward his treatment and his chance at survival. And if you can’t donate, sharing this would help more than you know.
From the bottom of my heart—and from BamBam’s too—thank you. ♡
Together, we can give him the chance he deserves.
