Help us save Otis
To pay for Otis' medicine
Auckland
Otis our recently rescued cat has recently been diagnosed with FIP. He is only a 4 months old baby kitten and has barely lived long enough to experience life. At the moment there is no cure for FIP that can be purchased in New Zealand, or through our vet. Our local vet has advised us that the only option is to put him down as soon as he stops eating to end his suffering. The only other option we have is to buy medicine overseas. We have researched and found so many successful live-saving stories with a medicine overseas. However, we cannot afford to pay for his medicine. There are two different forms of FIP. Wet and dry. Otis has the wet form meaning his abdomen is filling up with fluid that becomes very heavy and restricts and makes it hard for him to breathe.
Feline infectious peritonitis, also known as FIP, is a feline coronavirus that affects all wild and domestic cats. Cats under 2 are more prone to catching this virus. The virus in 10% of all infected cats mutates and multiply. Slowly taking over their whole bodies. It is a very serious disease and almost always fatal.
