Cats Pawjamas Needs FIP Medication
Help Us Save Cats Like Knox from FIP

Knox is one of the many kittens at Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society who has faced the formerly 100% fatal Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). His story shows why we urgently need your help.

In December, Knox's foster noticed something was wrong. By Christmas Day, his condition had rapidly deteriorated—he stopped eating, drinking, and using the litter box. He was lethargic and vomiting. Within days, Knox could have been gone.

FIP progresses with alarming speed, but there is hope. In 2019, UC Davis developed a life-saving treatment (GS-441) with an over 85% success rate. Although the oral form is now legally available, its injectable counterpart is critical for cats in advanced stages like Knox. Injections bypass issues like vomiting or lack of appetite, ensuring the medication is absorbed quickly and effectively.

Knox’s life was saved because we had a few leftover doses of the injectable treatment. But supplies are difficult to obtain, and the oral medication takes 4–6 days to arrive—time many cats simply don’t have.

We need your help to raise $1,000 to stock the injectable form of GS-441. This vital medication costs over $1,000 to fully treat a single kitten, but having it on hand to begin treatment could mean the difference between life and death for up to 10 kitties like Knox.

FIP is not contagious, but the underlying virus is common among cats. While only a small percentage develop FIP, the need for immediate treatment when it strikes is critical.

Your donation today can help ensure we’re prepared to save more lives like Knox’s. Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehoming cats and kittens at risk. Together, we can give these vulnerable animals a fighting chance.

Donate now and make a life-saving difference.

Help Cats Pawjamas Save FIP Kittens
We need your donation! Cats Pawjamas has an opportunity to purchase the medication necessary treat kittens with Feline Infections Peritonitis (FIP) at an extremely affordable price. Without this medication, FIP is 100% fatal.

Cats Pawjamas is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, cat and kitten rescue based in Olathe, KS. We are a foster-based rescue, meaning all our cats and kittens live in homes with their caregivers and their families.

We must raise $1,000 to take advantage of this opportunity to purchase the required minimum amount of GS-441. This lifesaving medication has been unaffordable for us until now.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity we can save a kitten for 1/5th or less than it normally would cost!

We lost 6 kittens to FIP in 2023 and 4 already in 2024.

Butterfly was a casualty of FIP ...

Without this medication, FIP is 100% fatal.

But course, we don't have $1,000 laying around! We need AT LEAST $750 to place the order. We never know when the next FIP kitten will pop up and immediate treatment is crucial.

Please be a partner in saving our next kittens that develop FIP!

Tom Cats Don't Pay Kitten Support - Help Us Pay for Babies
Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society needs to raise $3,000 because "Kittens are expensive and Tom cats don't pay Kitten Support!". Can you help?

Our mission is to rescue and rehome kittens that are at risk of death via euthanasia or illness. We prepare these kittens, both medically and socially, to be great family members!

Rescues like Cats Pawjamas are critical in maintaining Kansas's 90% save rate. They work closely with one of the state's 25 "kill shelters" to ensure that every kitten or cat that can be saved is saved.

We are entering "Kitten Season" and it requires proportionately more capital to successfully raise these tiny creatures to an adoptable age. Cats Pawjamas has already received pregnant cats, mom's and kittens and orphan kittens.

At this time of year, the kittens rescued tend to be younger and often require a specialized diet, more equipment and medication. They are also in our care longer, requiring more food and litter. The cost to raise them is about the same as their adoption fee, leaving us no backup for unexpected costs.

And darn those Tom cats! They just won't pay kitten support!

For example, orphan kittens may require kitten formula until they are 6 weeks old or older. (Cat food and formula are blended to gently transition orphans to solid food.) This will require multiple tubs of formula at $65/tub. They must have good quality "kitten" or "all life stages" dry food at over $35-$40 a bag. Mom's need the extra calories found in kitten food and will be eating that as well.

In addition to food, the need for basic items like vaccines (each kitten receives a vaccination every 3 weeks from age 4 weeks to 16 weeks of age), wormer, spays and neuters at about $75 each and equipment like potty pads, syringes and needles, cleaning supplies increases dramatically.

Then there is the unexpected. Such as a kitten with a 5+/6 heart murmur that will require a specially monitored spay, and possibly an ECG at over $500.

It's difficult for small groups like Cats Pawjamas to compete against larger groups for grants, so small fundraisers like this provide their contingency funds.

Please, please help them save kittens in Kansas! They appreciate whatever you can give!

Pictured are the kittens that arrived just this past week.

Any donation is appreciated! Thank you for your support!

Help Pay for Cannoli's Eye Surgery
Cannoli was 8 weeks old, weighed 30 ozs and had run out of time. No other rescues offered to take him. We were contacted directly by the shelter asking if Cats Pawjamas could take him in

a last minute attempt to save him.

He was transported to us (a 3 hour drive) by other kind volunteers and we got to work. The first order of the day was to get him comfortable and resolve his viral symptoms. We have extensive experience treating cats with eye damage resulting from the Calicivirus. However, despite our best efforts, we were only able to save one. (But look how healthy his left eye looks!)

At 2lbs, 4oz he was healthy enough for surgery. Our wonderful veterinarian performed the eye removal for half price! (And threw in his neuter ).

Had we had it done by an animal opthalmologist it would have cost almost $2000!

But even at half price, we need help! We will save about 130 cats and kittens this year and $1000 is a lot of money! Without your help, we won't be able to save the next kitten like Cannoli.

The happy ending to the story is that while Cannoli has some healing to do, he's healthy and happy and playing with the other kittens in his foster home! We've had blind kittens that are living their best lives, a one-eyed kitten won't even notice!

If everyone who sees this donates $20, we can pay for Cannoli's surgery and have funds available for the next kitten needing help. You can help save a kitten from dying with your $20 donation (we won't argue if you want to donate more).

We have another major surgery scheduled for Thursday. Our sweet Bravo is getting his front leg amputated. He'll adjust quickly. But we have no idea what the bill will be. Regardless of the cost, the surgery must be done.

Watch Bravo in Action

Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society is a small, 501(c)3 cat and kitten rescue. While we accept a varied population, we target ill and injured kittens at risk of euthanasia at a regional animal control facility.

We are a foster based rescue. Meaning 11 volunteers care for our 65 cats and kittens in their homes. We know these kitten's personalities and quirks which helps us find them the best home possible. Some stay with us for an extended time in order to recover from their illness or injury.

Approximately 80% of the cats and kittens that enter our rescue need some sort of medical intervention. It can range from minimal, like administering fluids, b-12 and giving the kitten time to gain weight and de-stress to major surgeries.

Our adoption fees cover the normal expenses of food, litter and fixing all the cats and kittens. We count on donations and the generosity of our veterinary partners to be able to help the kittens that will be first in line to be euthanized due to their medical challenges.

We also accept donations via Venmo (@Cats-Pawjamas), PayPal (@catspawjamas) and on our website. Thank you!

Please spay and neuter your pets! Cats can become pregnant as early as 5 months and kittens can be fixed as early as 2 lbs or 8 weeks of age. If more people fixed their cats, rescuers like us wouldn't be so tired

If you're interested in adopting Cannolli, visit our website, https://www.catspawjamas.org and complete an application.

Thank you for your help!
