Little Finn needs your help!

    It is with much grief and a broken heart that I share the news that Finn our most precious weee boy passed away painlessly & peacefully yesterday. His comfort had been notably declining over the past few days with little hope for improvement and he let us know he had had enough. He enjoyed his belly rubs right up until the end and was so brave.

    Thank you to each and every one of you who helped us out and Finn to extend his life with the help of medication. We are so lucky to have your kindness ❤️

    Thank you for joining me on an unexpected journey with the ultimate love of my life. All I can feel right now is loss and being broken but beneath that I have so much gratitude. I’m grateful to the universe for entrusting us with his beautiful soul and providing myself and Ben with the perfect best friend and companion. I'm grateful I was able to give this magical creature the safe and deeply loving life he wanted and deserved. I’m thankful I was chosen to be the conduit for Finn to bring joy into the world. And I’m thankful for all the human friends Finn and I made along the way, and the strangers on the streets and on the internet, who have shown us so much love.

    Most of all, I’m amazed that the sweet little hot mess of a kitty that we picked up from 9 lives would be the most rewarding thing myself and Ben have ever experienced. We are so grateful to have given Finn a home full of so much love, comfort and safety. He was always the highlight of coming home at the end of the day and now our world has lost some of it's sparkle. We may of only had Finn for a year and 3 months but he made the biggest impact on our lives and we will always love and cherish him. R.I.P Finn 08/03/23 💔

    Well suprisingly Finn Is still trucking along thanks to the medication he is on. He is still full of purrs, eating normally and getting around normally. We are so thankful to still have this precious time with Finn. Thank you everyone for your support and kindness. We wouldn't have Finn still going without the help from you guys so thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

  • Blood test results. Sad news.

      13 December 2022
    Main image

    Hello everyone. We took Finn in yesterday for a full blood test and got the results back today. Unfortunately he is now deteriorating and looks like he may even have liver cancer. Words cannot express how sorry I feel for little Finn. We have been offered to do more tests to 100% find out what is going on ( won't help him) but we have decided not to due to how much it will cost and I don't want him to keep being poked and prodded. We will now be giving him palliative care at home to make sure the time he has left is comfortable and full of love. We don't know how much time we have left but I would say under 4 months. Thank you everyone for your help. Any ongoing donations will go towards Finns palliative care and ongoing medication etc.

  • Small update

      3 December 2022

    Hello everyone, hope you have all been well. Not much to update on Finn at the moment. He goes for his blood tests this month, interested to see what it shows as i personally think Finn is looking a lot better and doing better. We have decided to just take what all the vets have said with a grain of salt. We have now been told so many different things so it's best we just give him the best care, food, meds etc and veterinary care. Will let you all know what the blood tests say. In the mean time, he still has ongoing medication and special food plus add ons which does mount up. Figuring out what works and doesn't at the moment , he's worth it though <3

  • New vet and answers

      31 October 2022

    Hello everyone, update on our little boy Finn. We have changed vets and had our first visit today. We are very pleased with Finns new vet who is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and onto it. He knows full well about Finns condition which is great. Unfortunately we have discovered that we were given false hope by other vets....Finn will not recover. He is doing pretty good atm. At this point it is his medication keeping him alive. At some point the meds will stop working and he will decline. This could be from 6 months to a year or 2 if we are really lucky. As you can imagine we are heart broken and devastated. All we can do is continue to give him medication, love and treats. We thank everyone so much for your kindness. Anything that is given will go towards his meds and continued vet visits.

    Hi everyone, after a big muck up in getting Finns urine results done we have our first feedback on the Semintra. His protein has risen which is not what we were wanting to hear, therefore we are having to double dose him now. He does seem better though with keeping the fluid retention off, eating/toilet normal. We still have our fingers crossed and are now eagerly awaiting his next testing day which will be in the next week and a half.

  • Still waiting

    Hey everyone, apologies for being quiet, we took Finn in last week to the vets for his urine sample to be taken so we could find out if his medication is working. Unfortunately there has been a cock up at the vets and they never did the procedure correctly. We are very frustrated and will have to go back and get it done again. Meanwhile we were still charged a hefty fee for it all which we refuse to pay again for!

  • Good news

    Today is a good day! Finn is doing a lot better. The last week has been very scary for us as Finn was in a pretty bad way with cat Flu. He is finally eating properly and today he has started drinking fluids by himself which is fantastic. His breathing has evened out, no sneezing, snotty nose etc. We are very relieved 😀. We take Finn back to the vets in a another week or 2 for bloods to see if his medication is working. Fingers crossed!

  • Not great news

    Unfortunately Finn has taken a turn and has developed Cat Flu which can be fatal to cats that have underlying health issues. Finn is not in a great way. I'm devastated and feeling so tired and broken over this news. All I can ask is that people share the page, give support or even a $1. I just want my little boy to survive, he means everything to myself and my partner.

    Thank you everyone for your generosity and help towards the ‘Givealittle’ page I started for Finns on going vet visits- it’s running 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏾 for 3 months, so if you could spare anything - even $1 it all adds up! Thank you….also for your continued support for myself I’m so lucky to have friends like YOU ☺️😍🥰

    However we still have a little way to go before I’m medically safe 🐱

    I will need to have medications (for a period of time and have my bloods done frequently as well other smaller things.😩🥺

    From me to you Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity.

    Love Finn & Family 💙

  • We have a diagnosis!

      29 August 2022

    Just seen the specialist and we finally have a diagnosis! Protein losing nephropathy due to Membranous Nephropathy. We will be doing a course of different medication to try help him. It can be a 50/50 outcome but we are hoping he will come back from this. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and shared so far, been a huge help. We still need help though due to ongoing meds and trying to recover some funds, currently have spent around $2000.

  • Frustrating

      24 August 2022

    Hey everyone, an update on Finn. We took him to the vet again today only to be told that unfortunately they have no idea what is wrong with him and have not seem these symptoms before. Therefore we have now been referred to a specialist.....we are now probably looking at thousands... Very disheartening and upsetting. We just want answers. Hopefully seeing the specialist will help and we can get the medical help that Finn needs. We so appreciate all of your kindness, support and help ❤️

  • What we know so far

      15 August 2022
    Main image

    As some of you may know a couple of weeks ago Finn wasn't feeling very well. Unfortunately he has declined further and is turning out to be very expensive to get answers as to what is wrong. So far we know he has very high blood pressure, his kidneys are only operating at 2/3rds, low protein and blood in urine....so not great. Any help towards vet bills would be so amazing. Will be setting up an account at the vets too for those who would rather donate directly.
