Bamboo & Claudia are begging for YOUR help!
Bamboo & Claudia are running out of luck!
We are desperate to help these two kitties but we simply can not do it on our own. We need YOU!
Claudia was caught as a 3-month-old kitten and together with her mom and siblings had a very limited choice in life. Euthanasia or life on the streets.
We managed to get the family out of Animal Control but their struggles were not over. Foster to foster to foster they went...
Eventually, her Mom and 2 siblings did get adopted. Claudia and 3 of her siblings stayed with us because they are all on a shy side and need extremely kind and beautiful families to give them a chance.
You can see how emaciated she is. In addition, she is not interested in grooming at all, and with her shy temperament brushing her is out of the question.
Claudia would love a patient and loving foster or adopter once she completes her treatment.
And talking about Bamboo was abandoned outside when they moved. He was lucky that our foster found him and opened her home and heart to him.
Soon he was adopted and all seemed well.
Unfortunately somewhere along the line, he picked up this virus. His adoptive family was not willing to help and so he came back to us.
Bamboo lost 4 lbs since this picture was taken...
Talking about Purr Masters, Bamboo has a PhD!
Bamboo dreams of a lap to call his own.
We are trying so hard to help these two kitties. But we are faced with a huge obstacle and we can't make it on our own.
One week of medications for the two of them costs $505. And we are on week 2. For a complete treatment, we need to keep going for another 10 weeks. Plus each kitty needs at least 5 more vet visits and complete blood works (if all works well...).
We are looking at a minimum of $7000 to treat both of them.
The alternative is grim. Death from FIP is slow and agonizing for both the cats and people that watch them die.
