For the donation you have the option to support the 4fund platform between 0%-30%. If you choose 0% all the donation will go to Simba for his treatment. Below is an example picture.

They say that cats choose the house and absolutely nothing is random :)

This is Simba, originally he was Mitis. He is about 1 year old.

The little cat who has conquered us and who we want to keep between us, to have fun and to show him that life can be full of love, turkey food and lots of joy. Sounds like he wants it too.

He's an adopted, very gentle and very docile little moggy. Simply adorable.

P.S. Down you have the pictures.

Important: 4fund doesn't charge any fee, but be careful, don't forget to set 30% to 0% and 100% of the donation will go to Simba.

In a nutshell:

After many investigations that cost 700euro until the concrete diagnosis- treatments, analyses, abdominal ultrasound, tests and visits to different surgeries, with temperatures over 40,5-41,5 that exhausted him for two weeks, Simba managed to start emergency treatment for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) to which he responds very, very well already from the first administration, but the 100 days treatment must be carried to the end to survive.

Final diagnosis Neuro-Ocular PIF- you can see in the pictures the dilated and different pupils, blood stained right eye- myriasis right eye and anisocorisis. He is currently not seeing out of his right eye hardly at all, but will recover.

Treatment for one day costs 100 lei + supplements + blood tests 250-300 lei which are done periodically + his castration between days 64-68 of treatment only with inhalation anaesthesia which is part of the treatment scheme. It is a very serious treatment that requires a lot of responsibility.

The quickest and most important is the purchase of doses because his life depends on it.

After a rough calculation, because we have calculated with the ml/day dose for now (it goes up a bit as we go along), we need a minimum of 35 doses to buy for the 100 days. We can't risk him running out of dose ex post tomorrow, his life depends on it.

Only the treatment for the pif costs 10,500lei (2111euro). The most important thing now is to have the money for the injections, the only treatment with which she will survive, this will only be possible if you want to be there for us, me and the wonderful Simba.

Your contribution will be a very important one whatever it is, because hand in hand he has a chance of raising the funds for the treatment that will cure him.

After 15 days of treatment, doing a recalculation has got us trembling and it's a lot more than we expected after the initial calculations at the beginning. 7000 lei have been spent so far and we still need another 10,000 lei to provide for treatments, castration, analyses... Initially it totalled a little over 2000 euros, but in fact it's over 3000 euros...

Simba and I have entered the horde and now we want to play it to the end.

The first option was to euthanise him, as they used to do with cats diagnosed with FIP. I couldn't do that, something inside me told me to fight to the bitter end. This case knocked me from the bottom of the sea to the sky and back.

Simba now purrs muuuulllttt, is starting to have more vitality, eats very well, is a "different" cat already from the first administration. She is responding very well to the treatment. The chances are 100% of cure.

Simba kisses you because he is very loving and if we manage to raise money for the treatment I will keep you updated on his progress, step by step with us.

"The cat presented with recurrent fevers that hardly and temporarily succumbed to anti-inflammatory drugs. Increasingly inappetent, sometimes with nervous signs, his general condition was deteriorating daily. Feline mutant feline coronavirus has an extremely polymorphic course in cats. Inflammation triggered by the presence of the virus in the body affects the blood vessels and the brain, eventually killing the cats within a few weeks of suffering. Treatment with antiviral drugs is the only solution, which fortunately saves the lives of a large percentage of sick cats, but it is very expensive. This particular patient we think has an excellent chance of being cured with GS."

Arriving in the yard, we soon after realised that he was showing health problems. His eyes were drooping and he was rather listless. He started the period of investigations and treatments as he was presenting with very high temperatures, investigations for 14 days which lasted including until today 25.10.2024 when he was re-diagnosed with Neuro-Ocular PIF.

The first diagnosis was feline calcivirosis, the second PIF dry and in the meantime PIF Neuro-Ocular was discovered which is aggressive, the most long-lasting, daaarrrr and with a very, very expensive treatment.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease that without special treatment kills slowly and surely. It is a mutation of Feline Corona virus (FeCoV). The mutant virus, alfacoronavirus, has an ability to invade and grow in certain white blood cells, namely macrophages. The immune system's response causes an intense inflammatory reaction, leading to death.

The only treatment that can save it is daily administration of treatment and the mandatory treatment lasts for 100 days, without any day off. If you miss a single day the virus becomes even more aggressive, it can kill him or you restart treatment with day 1 no matter how many days of administration it is. Administering it hurts like hell, it is administered one day in the right flank and the next day in the left flank, but we know he will forgive us for that if we manage to scrape together the money for treatment, supplements, tests, hospitalisations and regular fortnightly tests, and all this costs over 3000 Euro...I know, it is enormous to secure treatment especially as with every single dose left there is enormous stress not knowing if you can get enough for the next few days.

One dose, at the moment, at his current Kg is enough for 3 days. It is weighed daily and with each gram increased in weight the admin dose is recalculated and increases up to a point.

Sleepless nights trying to get his temperature down after the anti-inflammatory wore off, dozens of miles driven to and from the surgery daily for the first week, enormous amount of opinions and now he is fine and we want to move forward.

It has responded tremendously well already from the first administration. Until day 100 of treatment, he is not allowed to interrupt a day. If the tests come back good on the last day of treatment, he can stop.

I don't know how they do it, I have no idea, but I know that I want this so badly.

When I got the first dose which only lasts a few days, now it lasts three days increasing the dose at PIF Neuro-Ocular, I didn't know and still don't know if and how I will get the money for the next dose and all the others for 100 days. Initially it was 84 days of treatment being only Pif dry form, but now being Neuro-Ocular Pif it is 100 days of GS administration.

Simba is now purring muuuulllttt, starting to have more vitality, eating very well, is a "different" cat already from the first administration. He responds very well to the treatment. The chances are 100% of cure.

Simba kisses you because he is very loving and if we manage to raise money for the treatment I will keep you informed of his progress, step by step I will keep you by your side.
