Help Amy Survive Feline Panleukopenia Virus

Amy's life began with uncertainty. At just 3 weeks old, she and her three siblings were found with their mother. Thankfully, a kind-hearted woman took the family in and reached out to A Tail In Need Animal Rescue for help. She lovingly fostered the kittens until they were old enough to leave their mom and enter rescue care.

The kittens received their first vaccinations on May 31, 2026, and on June 5, 2026, A Tail In Need Animal Rescue officially welcomed them into the rescue.

Just days later, tragedy began to unfold.

The kittens developed diarrhea, and medication was started in hopes of stopping it. Instead of improving, their condition worsened. The first kitten to become seriously ill passed away before answers could be found. A few days later, a second sibling was seen by a veterinarian but sadly passed away as well. Despite testing, no clear cause was identified.

Then Amy began to decline.

Knowing something was terribly wrong, the rescue rushed her to MedVet, where she finally received a diagnosis: feline panleukopenia, a highly contagious and often deadly virus that is especially dangerous for young kittens.

Amy is currently hospitalized and fighting for her life. Her medical care has already exceeded $4,500, and expenses continue to grow as she receives the intensive treatment she needs to survive.

After losing two of her siblings, Amy is still fighting.

A Tail In Need Animal Rescue is doing everything possible to give her a chance, but they cannot do it alone.

Please consider making a donation to help cover Amy's emergency medical expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide the lifesaving care she needs and gives this little kitten hope for a healthy future.

Thank you for supporting Amy and the rescue team working tirelessly to save her.
