ShimbleShanks is a 10 month old American Shorthair in Springfield, MO, who needs $3,000 for GS-441524 FIP Treatment.

We rescued our orange and white male cat at 10 months old. Healthy until 8 months, he developed Ocular FIP, dropping to 5 lbs and refusing to eat. He is indoor-only and deeply loved. Treatment works beautifully: his hyper, silly spirit is back, and he craves cuddles 24/7. He lives with us under constant care, but keeping his environment stable is creating an extreme financial crisis.

At 8 months old, our kitten developed Ocular FIP, causing blindness threats, lethargy, and a drop to 5 lbs. Daily antiviral medicine saved his life, restoring his playful self. However, care is unsustainable: medicine is $200/week, and diagnostics put us $3,000 in credit card debt. Treated at: Spring Valley West veterinary hospital, Springfield, MO

Our 10-month-old orange boy has an unbreakable spirit. Even at his sickest (5 lbs), his love never faded. He is a "velcro cat" who demands 24/7 cuddles. His behavior is a mix of high-energy zoomies and pure sweetness. He keeps us laughing with his silly antics and treats every family member like his best friend. He is the joyful heartbeat of our home.

FIP medicine alone is $200/wk. Emergency stabilization left us $3,000 in credit card debt. We cannot do this alone. A full recovery means the world. He is only 10 months old. Curing him means getting our hyper, cuddling boy back and saving his life without drowning in debt.
