Purrassic Park

Hi folks, we are officially past the 2-week mark with Boofy. Once we began FIP treatment, we started seeing some slow improvements. Unfortunately, FIP treatment is expensive. One bottle (which we use in about 6-7 days for Boofy) costs $94 and $20 shipping. We have managed to cover the first two vials but need to place an order soon to ensure we don't miss a shot.
Can anyone help?

Just wanted to drop a little Boofy update!
She is a week into her meds and I think, very slowly starting to improve. I am almost afraid to say that!
Her appetite is still not great, and we are supplementing with Rebound formula at least twice a day. We've been watching her weight closely and have seen some slight but steady improvement from 4.90 lbs to 4.94 lbs. 💜

At Purrassic Park, when a cat lays on the laundry you are folding, you just keep the pile going! 😂💜

Boofy update ‼️

Boofy's bloodwork came back with concerning results: liver indicators are all high, and bilirubin is off the charts. Ultrasound showed enlargement of the liver and pancreas, as well as inflamed intestinal walls. Small as she is, she's lost 2 lbs since she was hospitalized in May.(7 lbs to 5 lbs).

Right now, we are ruling out inflammation and infection with antibiotics and steroids, and a recheck on the bloodwork in 2 weeks will hopefully reveal good news.
As we are in the stage of ruling out, there are a handful of scarier options further down the road I am praying not to find out more about.

Thank you so much for donating for Boofy! We ask now for your prayers and good wishes. I'll continue to update on Boofy going forward. 💜

HELP! 🆘🔔

We are heading to the vet today for Boofy.

Boofy is a 5-year old Garrett native, and is the very first kitten that we rescued at Purrassic Park. She is as loyal as any dog I've ever had, she loves to "help" Tyler with renovations - especially plumbing, and she adores people. Her favorite place to be is wherever her favorite person, Mr. Purrassic, is.

Boofy was one of the kitties affected by the panleukopenia + VS-FCV tragedy that we struggled through in May. Unfortunately, little Boofy never completely bounced back, and she is showing concerning weight loss and jaundice.

Jaundice can be a bit difficult to identify on cats due to their fur and coloration - but you can see the yellowing skin in the ears, eyes, gums, and even the skin between her shoulder blades.

Can anyone please help us with Boofy's appointment and treatment? We are struggling to bounce back financially from the May situation and really need some help. We are looking at roughly $200-$300 for bloodwork and diagnosis, which I will update on.

Or, call Somerset Veterinary Hospital directly at 814-443-1323 to donate.

Thank you so much everyone. 💜

On Monday, PurrassicPark dispatched to pick up three kittens in Somerset, PA. The kind finder unfortunately had already found two siblings passed away, and knew that these babies needed help! We treated them for eye infections, upper respiratory infections, fleas and worms, got them cleaned up and fed, and all three are doing much better! I will add their updated pics in the comments for comparison of what a few days of proper care can do!

We are still reeling from the stack of bills leftover from our May emergency situation, with over $8,000 in outstanding bills before we can continue our work. Can you help us in any way?

1) You can donate directly to our vet bills at Somerset Veterinary Hospital by calling in during business hours at 814-443-1323.

2) You can donate via our 501c3 non-profit verified PayPal at http://www.paypal.me/PurrassicPark
Or via Venmo

3) Send desperately needed supplies via our wishlist on Chewy: https://www.chewy.com/g/purrassic-park_b113261104 -list

So many of our friends, family and supporters helped us through what ended up being the most heartbreaking month of rescue for us.
Now, after the smoke has cleared...

We lost 6 little souls to a co-morbidity outbreak of infectious diseases that began with panleukopenia and developed into VS-FCV, which unfortunately took the lives of several healthy adult cats.
Candle, Binky, Spinny, Skeletor, Linkin, and Streudles... You all deserved long, comfy lives filled with love and sunshine. My heart is devastated still from losing you, babies, and I will love you until the end of my days.

Thankfully Quiet and her brother, Bonky survived panleukopenia, while Ma Petite, Boots, Deet, Boofy and Kimahri survived VS-FCV.

We are still quite buried in vet bills from this awful situation, folks. If you can find the space to do so, we could REALLY use each and every donation, no matter how big or small. Our bill at Somerset Veterinary Hospital is sitting at over $6,000.
You can call in donations directly to SVH at 814-443-1323,
Or via Venmo
Or PayPal at http://paypal.me/PurrassicPark

Please stay safe in this heat, everyone!
Remember to be kind and put some water out for furry friends! 💜🙏
