Support Kelly and Petri-Dish's FIP Battle
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Kelly and my beloved cat Petri-Dish has FIP, a very serious but thankfully treatable illness. The treatment is unfortunately very expensive, and I find myself struggling to pay for the $600/month medication and bi-weekly vet visits. He is about halfway through the treatment, and I, like many people in Hollywood am struggling to find work. Any assistance would be appreciated. I also have listed some items for sale on ebay and etsy (Links bellow)

Petri's Treatment timeline:
December - January - Ongoing treatment for what seems to be antibiotic resistant URI, lots of blood, bacterial and fungal tests to rule out specific illness.
Early Febuary - Overnight stay at ER due to respiratory distress, ultrasound and more tests confirm "wet" FIP.
February to Now - Daily medication for FIP, anti-nausea/anorexia and other supportive care. Bi-weekly blood tests to check status.
Future -The recommended minimum time a cat take medication is 84 days. He is still suffering from a URI, which might be due to the FIP, but if it does not resolve he will probably require a CT scan and potentially surgery.
