Zorro is an American Shorthair kitten in Columbus, OH, who needs $1,500 for draining fluid in stomach.

My husband and I moved in to our new home with our cats, and one of them is pregnant. She gave birth to 5 kittens and Zorro is one of them. We named him Zorro because of his fur on his face is colored like his wearing a mask. That kind of markings stood out and when he started to get sick it seems fitting because he’s a fighter.

All our cats loves him, he does love a lot of cat milk. He’s so sweet and love sleeping next to me and my husband. Though he is very close to me, whenever I’m working he will come up to me and sit on my lap. I try to put him next to my husband when i have to but he will always follow me around and meows.

Zorro always always meows whenever we’re in the kitchen. He loves climbing on our shoulders to nap and get to close. Our older cats love to sleep next to him and clean him. He’s very feisty when it’s food time, despite his condition he will growl and the other kittens know better not to mess with him.

Zorro is diagnosed with FIP after bringing him to the MedVet. It started with Upper Respiratory infection, we brought him to German Village Animal
Hospital, was prescribed antibiotics and antiviral for a month but his situation didn’t improve and he keeps losing weight and his stomach is getting bloated and having shortness of breath so we brought him to the ER.

I am working full time but given with my bills, and we had some personal medical bills and at the same time having couple of my other cats got sick and passed away, it’s been really difficult financially. We just want Zorro to live comfortably.
