Help us cure Finley from FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis)

Our fur baby Finley needs your help for treatment towards curing the deadly FIP virus.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Hi, my name is Finley Miller, and I need your help.

Finn is only seven months old and has become acutely unwell. He has lost his appetite for food and water, has a high temperature and is extremely tired. Our vet has diagnosed Finn with the deadly FIP virus (Feline Infectious Peritonitis).

Previously this virus has had no cure, and euthanasia was the only option. However, in the last few years, research has proved that a new medication in the form of injections and tablets can cure FIP with a high success rate. But this success comes at a considerable cost.

Finley needs 84 days of treatment.

Each vial costs approximately $200 and gives us around 4-7 injections per vial depending on his weight (this varies throughout as he gains weight).

It is essential to start treatment ASAP for a better outcome. Any delay could lead to Finley passing away from this horrible virus :(.

We are also saving for our wedding and financially aren't in a safe position to pay for this expensive medication. But we hope kindness and generosity pull through as to give Finn the best chance in life.

Finley is our first furbaby as a couple. We love him so much, more than words can describe. Any help towards funding this medication and the vet bills to check his progress over the 84 days would be greatly appreciated.

Let's get our gorgeous baby boy back to his cheeky, healthy self!

Use of funds

Life saving medication in the form of daily injections or pills over an 84 day period as well as vet check ups.

We did it!  21 October 2022

A few weeks ago Finley had some more blood drawn to asses his response to the FIP medication. A very anxious moment for us all!

The results showed remarkable improvement, phew!!! He has also completed 3 weeks of close observation and has been eating like a champ, playing lots and putting healthy weight on. We will still keep a close eye on the little guy and tend to his wounds, but for now we just wanted to celebrate this milestone and say thank you for all the support during this journey! It certainly hasn't been easy for us all, but seeing how happy and cuddly Finley is now, has made it all worth it.

We cannot thank you all enough for this. It means the world to us and we could not have done this without you. Thank you x
