Help Spoons receive life-saving FIP treatment

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mar (they/them) I am a 25 yr old nb person from Michigan. I have two cats, Spoons (4) and Luna (9).

Recently, my beloved sweet 4 year old calico cat Spoons started showing signs of vomiting and losing significant weight, we thought it was a hairball issue and remedied it. Come this month, she started filling up with fluid in her stomach that bowed out the sides and almost made her appear pregnant, and she started hiding more because she was in pain. I took her into two vets since, and we are around $800 down at two different vets later after testing.. they tried to drain her stomach twice, received bloodwork, x-rays, and supplement injections for anemia. Looking at all of these tests combined, my vet is positive she has wet form effusive FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) which is a high progressing immune disease that is fatal, and will end up taking her life if she is untreated.

UNLESS - I purchase 84 days worth of the GS 441524 medication that will give her a fighting chance at life again.

GS 441524 is a new, experimental drug that has a 95% success rate and most definitely will allow her to live another 10+ happy, healthy years if she is treated.

Unfortunately, this drug is very expensive. 100 pills is around $650 not including shipping.
She will need 4 pills daily for her weight, and even more as she gains weight with the medication. This is a 12 week medication she will have to take every single day in order to cure her FIP.

I can comfortably front the first $650 for her first 25 days, but I will need any help I can get towards paying for the rest of her medication. My estimate is around $2,400 total for her medication for the full 84 days of treatment.
This price doesn’t include me buying basic needs for her as well, supplements, getting bloodwork done frequently (around $195 each time), or me having to also having to pay my rent/bills alongside this.
I live alone, and I have a job and make art as well, but this will not allow me to cover all of these expenses at once without putting me into serious financial danger.

spoons has been doing well as of recently, but just now has started to lose her interest in food and is not wanting to be anywhere but the closet, so I know it’s progressing faster than I originally thought.. she needs this medication immediately in order to save her life.

I know times are very tough right now, but I appreciate any help I can get towards her medication.. I love her more than anything in the world. Anyone who knows Spoons knows she is a actual real life angel, so sweet, cuddly and full of life and I want more than anything for her to survive and live a happy and healthy life again. I don’t want this illness to take her life so soon unprovoked.

please please consider donating anything, even if it’s just for one pill. anything helps. I’m doing anything I can to make sure she can survive this.

thank you <3
