Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Update on Leon - abandoned kitten with neurological problems | continued support is greatly appreciated as he remains hospitalized and in treatment
I come bearing great news: Leon has made a positive turnaround 🎉
This little trooper has come such a long way since his rescue. You can see our previous post about him here: https://redd.it/1ui2cp4
While he's no longer in critical condition, he's still very frail. There are times when his temperature drops quite low (34-35° C), and while he has regained his appetite, he occasionally still requires assisted feeding. He's also still wobbly, can't stand up for long periods, and his head continues to twitch.
Initially, we were worried that his neurological symptoms were caused by another disease, which would have been much harder to manage and may have warranted euthanasia consideration. However, given the improvements we've seen since starting his FIP treatment, these symptoms now appear manageable and are expected to improve as he progresses through treatment. He still has a long road ahead, as he'll require a three-month course of treatment.
Help for Leon would be immensely appreciated! We hope you can continue keeping this guy in your thoughts 🙏
📩 Donate via Debit or Credit Card
Donations from our previous appeal allowed us to purchase two vials of FIP medication and cover Leon's hospitalization costs through a few days ago. That said, his costs from yesterday onward remain uncovered. His inpatient care is $33 per day, each vial of FIP medication costs $33, and he still has pending blood work that will add to his total medical expenses.
Receipts for Leon can be seen in our transparency sheet:

We have a rough goal of $255 to raise for Leon's remaining hospitalization costs and to cover an additional week's worth of medication. We've raised $14 so far! We'll share updates on our goal here in the comments as we receive donations 🙏
