💔 Pop Pop Needs Us 💔
Many of you know Pop Pop — a beloved What A Pittie alum who finally found his people, his peace, and his most favorite place to live out his retirement. Today, that peace has been shaken.
Pop Pop rapidly declined and is now hospitalized at AVets in Monroeville. After extensive testing, veterinarians discovered he is battling three tick-borne diseases (Lyme, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichia) along with acute renal failure and dangerously low platelets.
His care is complex and intensive — IV fluids, blood pressure management, medications, and frequent lab monitoring — all necessary if Pop Pop is going to have a fighting chance.
💸 Estimated cost for the first few days alone is $6,000–$8,400, with $6,000 already required as a deposit 💔
Despite everything, there is still hope. Pop Pop continues to show his quiet strength while the veterinary team works around the clock to stabilize his kidneys and control the tick-borne diseases.
🩷 Here’s how you can help:
We are asking for small, nominal donations in support of Pop Pop — truly any amount helps. And to make your generosity go even further:
