Hello my fur fam. Sorry fabulous fur fam!!
Thanks to everyone for your generous donations.
I know what some people are thinking…she breeds cats, she’s selling them for $1600 each, she’s got funds to pay for Sienna. She’s got money like wtf?
Buttttt…it’s not all profit can I say. If it was I wouldn’t be working in my own business for a start.
The difference is…
This kitten was sold to us for breeding purposes. Along with 2 others, another kitten and a 12 month old male.
We spent $7200 hoping to have a new line, all with papers, all different colours.
So far at my vet it was $1299, then $5.5 at Sash, plus medication to be purchased this week-depending on which I choose, Molnupiriver or GS-44, one is $500 the other is $3k. Plus then 3 blood tests one in 2 weeks to check in on her fluid, bloodwork etc. once treatment has been finished, she will need 3 more checkups. 3/6/12 months to def make sure she is cured.
I’m hoping that all can see why I instigated the go fund me. Sitting at $7k for Siennas tests, treatments etc so far, $3k for medication, $1500 to $3k for check ups, it’s extremely expensive…
No pet insurance offered with Sienna, just euthanise and we will replace her with another kitten.
What about the small time she was with us? Bonding, loving…living in our family??? My queens are not just another “number” or money maker…they are my children!!
Once she is cured she will not be able to be bred from for risk of her carrying this fatal disease…which if we did, like some breeders would, there would be lots more sick kittens with expenses wayyyyy outweighing anyone’s expectations.
So if you can see why? From my point of view? Why I did this? Sienna will eventually have to move onto another family as Council will only allow us 4 pets.
This will be the extremely hard part. 🥹.
Saying goodbye to (my fingers and toes are crossed) warrior who fought this like a champion…
Buttttt, we have a little while yet before we need to think about this situation.
Thanks for your attention for reading this long post and your care factor thru this.
Love to all cat lovers 😻
