Help save Mew's life from FIP

Donation protected

Mew was diagnosed with a fatal viral disease called Dry Ocular Neurological FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) at 3 months old. (Symptoms: Gastrointestinal issues, high fevers, Eye issues, bobbing his head back and forth, a mass under his tongue, crying when you picked him up, lethargy) Previously no treatment was available but thankfully this past May a drug called GS-441524 was approved to be shipped here from the UK by emergency drug release. When I tell you the difference in his symptoms in a 12 hour time span, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me. It was like a miracle. Within a week Mew was a normal happy, crazy, energetic kitten for the very first time. For 84 days of treatment he was without issue. He grew in stature and in our hearts. Unfortunately, now at 7 months old and a week after stopping the medication, the symptoms have returned, meaning we didn't destroy it all the first time. Mew will now need double the dose for another 84 days which is double the cost ($6000 for the meds alone). Without it his brain and eyes are under attack, his whole body is sore and feverish. He shivers from anemia. He curls himself up into this little tight ball and doesn't move or eat. It is truly heartbreaking, and I am a mess. I have exhausted all my financial resources on the first round of treatment and have not yet had time to recover. I cannot afford an entire second round of medication at a higher strength/dose without help. The help of strangers. Please help me save Mew. In these difficult times I know how hard that is but if you could spare even a few dollars I would be forever grateful. I can't lose him now not when we are so close to him being cured. Thank you, Laurie.

Mew is being treated at The Cat Clinic, 391 Concession St, Hamilton, ON
