Save Puna: A fundraiser for life saving treatment
Donation protected
On January 4, we adopted Puna and his sister Kona from the Little Lion Foundation. They both are rescues and have been inseparable.
Puna is a flame point siamese and unlike any cat I’ve had in my life. He is everything I could ever hope to be in a cat. Affectionate, well behaved, playful, brave, adventurous, a lap cat and a total cuddle bug. He’s only 5 months old and we’re not ready to give up on him but we need your help to save his life.
Over the course of a week, Puna stopped eating regularly, lost interest in playing and became lethargic.
On March 25, Puna was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a devastating and nearly always fatal disease of cats which arises from a mutation of the common feline coronavirus (FECV) which infects 40-80% of cats worldwide.
Puna was given 2 months to live. We won't accept this death sentence and we are going to fight for him.
Fortunately, there is hope with a new treatment option (Mutian) shown to be a safe and effective treatment with a 80.6% success rate. However, the cost of this medicine beyond the means that our household can afford. I understand we are all dealing with our own financial problems during this time of uncertainty, but absolutely anything can help Puna survive.
