Please help me save Goose

Kate Doherty is organizing this fundraiser.

My wonderful Goose, aka Grey Goose, Gooseman, or Goose Moose, is a handsome Russian Blue that I rescued when he was just a kitten. He went from being on a kill list to having an amazing and adventurous life full of freedom and love. He lives on a farm with me and has 1 dog, 3 chicken, and 7 other sheep siblings. His days have been full of zooming up trees, sneak attacking his sister dog, hunting gophers, and snuggling hard with me all night. Goose is always given top-notch organic food and lives an active and fulfilling life.

All of this joy and energy came to a sudden halt this winter. He started losing weight slowly, and then rapidly started losing his motor functions. As of January 20th, he is a shadow of himself. He has been diagnosed with neurological FIP, and it is unbearable to watch this horrible disease take hold of his body. I am heartbroken.

Even though I love all of my animals very much and would do everything I can to keep them happy and healthy, after spending much $$$ getting a diagnosis, I am not able to afford this treatment for his FIP. I am a struggling farmer, living to educate people about regenerative agriculture and sustainably raising healthy animals on pasture. I am trying to do the good work, and a barn cat is essential to any working farm. **He is the sweetest, gentlest, and most pampered barn cat ever.**

I started treatment on 1/25/22 with a few days worth of donated meds.

FIP has a high mortality rate and is extremely aggressive. Our time is short, and every moment counts.

The medicine he needs to survive FIP is very expensive, and costs are expected to reach $3,000, including vet visits.

Any help would be extremely appreciated, even donated vials of the medication.

I won't be able to do this without all your help–THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ❤️

This is healthy me...
