Sometimes the unexpected can start as a nightmare and turn into a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle is never free. I'm not one that likes asking for help, but this is a matter of life and death for my little miracle boy.
This has definitely been the worst year of my life, between fighting for my father's life and then losing him. I fell into a deep dark depression because I lost one of the most important people in my life. Sometimes life has a strange way of bringing things into your life that you didn't realize you needed. In this case, it was a little kitten named Jazz.
For those that don't know, I am severely physically disabled. I am unable to pick up my cats to cuddle them on my own. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my other rescues and enjoy my brief cuddles whenever they're willing. Jazz and I just happen to have a very special bond. We're both survivors. He's attached to me at all times and has me wrapped around his little paw.
Approximately 1 month after we adopted him, he had a seizure. We rushed him to the emergency vet and they recommended we euthanize him on the spot. He was diagnosed with a terrible disease called FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). A disease that used to have a 100% mortality rate. Thankfullys that is no longer the case. A wonderful guardian angel of a human slipped us a note...There is now a CURE!
For the next 4 months, he needs a very costly medication every single day, blood work every 4 weeks by a specialist, steroids, supplements, vitamins, supplies, etc. I've already used the money meant for paying bills and we've only just begun. I want to be completely transparent with everything that we are spending on him. I will be providing proof as much as possible. Receipts, pictures, videos, etc...and anything else I'm forgetting that someone may request. I've done the calculations and the next 4 months will cost approximately $5000. The blood work will be costing the most. After that, he will be completely cured and will no longer need any treatment other than normal checkups.
I simply cannot lose my sweetheart. He is saving my life as much as I want to save his. He has already improved so much in only 1 week. This loving little guy has a very strong will to live. There's a picture and video from the day he almost died compared to pictures of him looking great 1 week into his treatment.
I completely understand if you cannot donate anything, but for those who can't, I would really appreciate you sharing our story. Thank you for any and all help that comes our way.
