I have been communicating for a few days with Jermaine over her rescued cat, Van Ness. Van Ness was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis and FIP and the vet had advised euthanasia. But Jermaine decided she could not do it as she felt Van Ness was willing to fight the battle.
We have pledged to help Jermaine with the medical bills of Van Ness as long as it is for attempts to save her life and/or to keep her comfortable with palliative care (provided our requirements as per our policy has been fulfilled).
We would like to request our readers to please pray for Van Ness, for her to be strong and at peace, to recover and also for Jermaine as we understand how trying it is for a caregiver to have to cope with a terminally ill animal.

To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com>Dear Dr Chan,Good day Dr Chan , i m Jermaine . I m not sure do u still remember bout 2 weeks ago i applied the subsidies for a cat that ran in my house with injured leg .Lately i found out she has some urinary incontinence problem so i bring her back to vet again ,vet said is the sequela of her spinal injured and she suggested me not to do anything because it no longer can be cure even go under surgery because the injured was long time ago , beside that the bill definitely wont be cheap .I m really not sure should i just give up like this because i planned to put her up for adoption but as her condition now finding a forever home for her seem like mission impossible.I really need your help on this, i wonder what should i do as the best welfare for her.regards.Jermaine

Be strong, Van Ness. We all wish you well.
We wish Jermaine strength, peace and serenity too.
A note to new readers: AnimalCare is a no-kill charity fund. Our Medical Fund provides subsidies for treatments aimed at saving lives. As such, we do not cover euthanasia or the spaying of pregnant mother-animals. This policy is put in place with due respect to our many donors who come from various religions. Palliative care is a viable option. However, we respect a rescuer’s decision in doing what he/she thinks is best for the animal under his/her care. We hope applicants will respect our policies too.

I salute you Jermaine for your stand on being there for Van Ness till the end. Will pray that she fights on and recover soon. I know it’s not easy as personally i have gone through 3 FIP cases myself.
