Poppy is a 8 month old Siamese in Seattle, WA, who needs $1,200 for FIP Treatment.

We rescued Poppy with her brother from an animal sanctuary. She now lives in a home that she loves with a family of 4 who adore her and her playful brother. She had a bad eye when we brought her home, but the kids were already in love and they are so gentle and caring with her. The sanctuary said she may lose the eye and that they would pay for that. We love her and she gets lots of love.

We knew she had an issue in her eye - but we were told it will go away. We went to the vet the next day and received treatment. We returned almost every week for more testing and medication. Her brother grew more than twice his size, while she stayed the same. (she is currently still 3lbs, he is 7.5lbs). She is now diagnosed with FIP and will die if she does not receive treatment.

Our girl, Poppy is only 8 months and already a HUGE part of our family. She fills our conversations and our hearts. She's a cuddle bug and shows such happiness to us, even though we know she's struggling. She loves going outside on her leash and resting in the sun with us. She sleeps with my kids at night and is just beginning to gently play. She rubs her little cheeks against ours frequently.

We recently moved to Seattle from NYC. Having gone through serious burnout as a public school teacher during the pandemic, I left my teaching job and started my own business. My kids are proud, I'm happier, and I'm able to work at home - but it is a financial struggle.
