Save Greedy's Family: Vet & Med Funds Needed for FeLV Cats

Donation protected
I'm just your everyday crazy cat lady, and I take care of a colony of 4 stray cats in the backyard of my family's home in NJ. Their names are Greedy, Chili, Garfield, and Timmy.

One of our cats, Greedy, became pregnant and had 3 kittens in November 2024. Sadly, we lost one to fading kitten syndrome, but the other two survived. Then they went missing for several weeks without warning! We were devastated. But suddenly, on a random evening in December, Momma Greedy returned with her babies!

In order to monitor them better, avoid losing them, or the kittens freezing outdoors, we cleared a small space in our home to foster Greedy and her babies. They had to be isolated because we already have an indoor cat living with us.

Fast forward - We took Greedy to the vet to get blood work for infectious diseases. We wanted to be sure that she was free and clear to mingle with our indoor cat. Unfortunately, our Greedy Girl tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). This was extremely upsetting because we were looking forward to getting her and the babies out of quarantine and integrated into the household.

As of now, we need to get more bloodwork done to assess how severe the virus is. We also still need to get the kittens Grey and Pepper tested as well - there is a very small chance that they may not have contracted the virus. And of course, we still need to get the three of them fixed.

And that's where you folks come in! We're trying to raise the funds for their vet and medical expenses. My family and I have been handling food and cat litter expenses, but we were unprepared for this additional medical emergency. Our indoor cat is a senior (16-year-old) with kidney disease, so we are no strangers to special needs cats.

I would hate to just dump them at a shelter because we had every intention of fostering them, but we can't do it alone. Please help us get the care we need for Greedy, Grey, and Pepper! This enables us to keep them out of the shelter and to move forward with providing them with a happy future.
