Sadly, feline distemper/parvovirus/panleukopenia has entered one of our very few foster homes, and we are devastated...despite our very best efforts & with the help of our veterinary professionals and fellow rescuers that have been through this, two of our kittens did succumb to this highly contagious, deadly disease. Thankfully, the mother cat and four week old siblings should be out of the woods 👐 And our other litter there (in a separate area) remains symptom-free.
Unfortunately, for this foster, it means her summer will be spent cleaning and disinfecting her home instead of saving susceptible kittens' lives and, friends, we need your help in order to help her so one day she can open her home to fostering again. It is especially tough because she is one of the few experienced bottle feeders around, but unvaccinated babies are the most susceptible to the virus 😔
Barrie C. is not only a wonderful human, but has fostered around 300 (‼️) cats and kittens in the last handful of years for a half dozen organizations, including ours. She has also provided education and outreach services to pet parents in need, including access to veterinary services, supplies, and mentoring bottle baby caretakers.... saving hundreds of more lives ♥
Barrie has assisted SO many on her own, and now needs and 100% deserves the favor returned more than ever. After much research, this list has been compiled with items necessary for deep-cleaning in her home (a future supply-drive will be launched to replace the many fostering items she has to throw away that may be contaminated as well, but that will be down the road). Items ordered from the wish list will be shipped directly to her home, so she can begin the cleaning process asap
