It’s hard to ask for help-but sometimes it really does take a village to make a difference. Today we are asking for your help knowing that if we do, it can be life changing for two little kittens. Bullwinkle and Shaggy, both not yet a year old, are now facing a life-threatening illness – Feline

Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) – a mutation of the Coronavirus. Without treatment, FIP is most often fatal. But there is a cure!

“Bullwinkle, our kitten, is more than just a pet-he’s a source of joy, comfort, and companionship. His playful nature and affectionate presence make him a beloved member of our family, bringing

warmth and happiness into our lives. At first, Bullwinkle appeared to be in perfect health. But over time, his energy level receded, his breathing became labored, and his stomach grew quite large. He was diagnosed with FIP. Fortunately, there is medication that cannot only help him to

get better but can ultimately rid him of this horrible illness. He will need to be on the medication for 84 days (no more, no less). The medication must be given by infusion and is very expensive. But we love him, and we are doing everything we can to help him to conquer FIP.”

Shaggy, who was also recently diagnosed with FIP, is loved beyond words: “I first met Shaggy when he was just 6 weeks old and completely fell in love with the sweetest little orange boy with the biggest blue eyes. After waiting a very long six weeks, I got to take Shaggy and his brother

Fred home. Shaggy has brought so much joy to my life. Being an “empty nester” now, I’m beyond excited to come home to a house full of kitten shenanigans and love. Recently, in the course of little over a week’s time, Shaggy went from an energetic, playful kitten to a very bloated little boy. He didn’t beat me down the stairs in the morning like he used to and didn’t want to play with Fred, his brother. Having no energy, he also started having accidents in the house. It was clear that something was very wrong. The vet ultimately diagnosed Shaggy with FIP. I was heartbroken. I quickly learned, however, that once considered fatal, FIP now has a cure rate of 80-90% if treated and caught early. He has received daily injections since September 1 st and is improving!! The 84-day treatment is his only hope.”

Rip (now Poncho) came to Project Hope in January 2024 after being on death row. He was dropped off at a kill shelter by his owners. Project Hope decided to give him a chance, and we're glad we did. He is an amazing dog! But, he has heartworm, We started him on treatment in March. A few weeks ago he started breathing heavy and it turned into a cough. We immediately took him in for a more advanced heartwork test along with a chest xray. The chest xray revealed some enlarged heart valves (most likely due to hearworm disease) but also spots on his lungs. The vet recommended an echocardiogram along with a fungal test to rule out blastomycosis. He took that test today. His echo is scheduled for Thursday. His heartworm treatment will cost us around $1,500. The fungal test is $300, and his echo is $700. This poor pup has had a really rough start too his new life, please consider helping and donating to his care!!

Dec 2023:

Mac one of our kittens in our rescue living in our fosters home since 5 weeks has been having episodes of extreme bleeding from his front left foot. He spent 7 days in the vet hospital. His bill was over $800 dollars (can be viewable upon request). The vet's were able to get it to clot and stop bleeding. Extensive blood work was completed, and 5 weeks of intense antibotics was given. Mac seemed to have been doing ok. We thought it was over.....

Thank you from all of us here at project hope ~ especially his foster mom whose had him since he was transported here at 5 weeks old!!

Mandarin a young 6 week old puppy has had a rough start to life, loosing all siblings, and now ending up with small chances of survival herself. Her momma Mango was pulled from euthanasia and transported to our shelter in Illinois and placed in one of our foster homes. Unfortunately Mandarin came to us ill as well.. She has swelling in her lungs and lymphonodes, making it difficult for her to breath. She also is lethargic and tired. So not willing to eat or drink and we are dealing with anemia. We have been able to begin antibotics, and an IV fluid drip while she is in an oxygen chamber/incubator. This little lady is fighting for her little life, and we are doing all we can to see if the medications will do there part to help. If you have $2, $5, or $10 please donation. No amount is to small. Please also share to help spread the word. These types or emergencies are very expensive, and we need your help!!
