Fundraiser to cover Poet and Pork Chop’s vet bills and medication cost

Whangarei, Northland

Hi everyone! 🐾

You probably know Poet and Pork Chop from the Reddit post showing Porky making a run for it after a visit to the vets!

Poet, my beloved 4 year old ginger croissant is not in ideal health 😔 She suffers from asthma and has medication regularly for it. That’s a battle in itself!

However, last week, I just had her back at the vet’s and they did a series of blood tests as they were concerned she’s got FIV. It was a really really scary time for us, and I’m happy to share that she doesn’t have FIV. 🙏

However, the results did come back showing that Poet has got a low immune system which isn’t good. So I need to do all I can to keep her healthy and happy but I still feel it’s not good enough as I’m in a limited financial situation & times are tough.

I’m currently owing $715 to the vets for the blood tests, the sedation, the appointment itself and flea treatment. Plus, it is highly likely that she will need to be on medication to help her immune system system as well as her regular asthma medication. I see vet visits most likely being a regular thing in the future for her.

Porky also has arthritis so my vet costs are already high as he’s on natural medication for them.

I’m at a loss right now financially as I’m already paying off other debts as much as I can while working. I’m doing the best I can for my cats as I want them to have the best life possible. 🐈🐈‍⬛

So, anything and everything is immensely appreciated.

With love from Pork Chop, Poet and me 💛🐾

Use of funds

Any money fundraised will go towards Poet’s vet bills for her asthma and low immune system costs plus any extra will go toward Pork Chop’s arthritis medicine costs.
