About this Project.Dear patrons,In our family, within our capability, we have always been involved with animal-related volunteering on several occasions.  From being a puppy-walker to fund-raiser for the Guide Dog Association, searching for lost large dogs in neighbourhood and helping as a baggage-volunteer to transport dogs from airport to their carer as such.We also have passion to help cats and.  In the past, we had worked as a milk-volunteer to the kittens which were abandoned by their mothers.We have always aimed to save some small lives at the best we can, within the limits of our financial circumstances, but without affecting our own pets.Christopher aka Kuri-chan (in Japanese), the orange tabby cat, is one of the three kittens who were abandoned and saved from inside the wall three years ago.  I helped them grow until they find new foster homes.  Other two of his brothers found their new owner, but while Kuri-chan happened to stay a little longer than the others, he had a mild epileptic seizure at the age of 7-months.  That was when we stopped looking for his foster parent and adopted Kuri-chan to ourself.Kuri-chan's epileptic seizure happened only once, and ever since, he has been so healthy that he never visits the vet other than for those necessary vaccinations.  But last January, he suddenly became ill and was informed that he could die within 10 days suffering from the fatal disease, Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).This project is a sequel to our first project that was conducted until the end of March, which was to raise a fund for Kuri-chan's medicine and his treatments but unfortunately the target budget was unreached.  You can find more about the previous project and all the posts from here:https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/236239(includes all the cost, the information on the purchase of medicine, etc.)What we want to achieve with this project:The budget is targeted mainly to cover the shortage in the previous project and the production cost of the return goods.In the previous project, the budget was the estimate of the total cost of the medicine (MUTIAN) needed for Kuri-chan.  It was based on his weight and his ongoing conditions.  The 84 days treatment was calculated to use 1.5 dose per injections, but for the last 4 weeks as he has started to gain his weight back to his normal, the amount of dosage had been increased to double.  It will stay at the same double for the next 3 weeks.The cost for the medicine is apparent from the last project and we have already purchased enough amount of MUTIAN which should last till the end of his 84 days treatment.Just to note, a 5ml bottle of MUTIAN costs $379 and 53 bottles are purchased, and on top of this, there will be everyday's vet fees for 84 days and the production cost for the return goods.Now better accurate figures in hand, together with the last balance (the funded amount and shortage), we are re-challenging to raise the fund again.The first day the vet used MUTIAN on Kuri-chan was on the 31st of January.  Ever since, he has been taking the injections at the same hour everyday.  Compare to the normal vaccine, this MUTIAN injections are very painful for him.  Our heart breaks everytime Kuri-chan screams on the vet's table at the same hour everyday.A few clips are uploaded on my YouTube channel: (please subscribe)Kuri-chan's reaction to MUTIAN injection:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqkYDzOiloKuri-chan's reaction to normal injection:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn5RtGSuGHYThis 84-days programme should end on the 23rd of April. Kuri-chan is battling, until then, please support us, please share our story so that one day MUTIAN becomes an approved cure and affordable drug for any cat's owners around the globe.Thank you.Maiko Kyougoku

初日から、皆様のご支援、拡散協力、本当にありがとうございます。再チャレンジ、不足分ですが、皆様のメッセージには、手数料類の高さに驚きのお声が多いです(>_<)リターングッズは、物によって、単価300円以下(ロットアップで単価下がるもの)と、単価1000円以上のものがあります。ロット(生産数量)があがると、値下がりするものを大量にだと、よかったのですが、皆様の人気が、ロットが上がっても、単価が下がらないものにご支援が集中していた結果、あるグッズについては、必要数量を作ると80000円するという状態に。(^_^;)読みが間違っていたので、かなり私達も驚きました(^_^;)でも、必ずお届けしますので、二回目と合わせて、全部まとめて発注させて下さいね。m(_ _)mロットアップで単価下がらないけれど、総額いくらで、何割引きとか、できるだけまとめて安くしますね。ママ、かんで、怒っときます！by栗ちゃんいえ、噛んでるように見えるだけで、手に甘えてすりよってるだけなんですが、口開いてました。(^_^)1点訂正がございます。注射治療最終日の日程が、4/23が84日目になります。プロジェクト再挑戦時に計算間違いをしていました。睡眠不足で、計算能力が低下しており、ものすごく計算間違いをしてごめんなさい。m(_ _)m不足分再挑戦計算に、間違いをしてないか、不安になってきました。(>_<)今回、ご連絡頂きました、支援者さまに、感謝申し上げますm(_ _)mまた、なにか、お気づきのことがあれば、ご連絡ください。みなさまからのご支援コメント拝見しております。メッセージも、拝見しています。個別お返事できておらず、すみません。メッセージ一斉送信をスマホから行うと、全部送信できないエラーが発生しています。一斉のご案内、ご報告、お礼は、こちらの活動報告投稿にて、掲載してまいります。ご理解の程よろしくお願い致します。m(_ _)m栗ちゃん、肩のハゲに、毛がはえました！うっすら、はえてきたの、わかりますか？他のハゲより白くないのは、茶色いうぶ毛です。打った箇所それぞれ、コブだらけ、ハゲだらけですし、かゆいですが、注射さえしなければ、ハゲもなおり、コブも縮小します。あと19回注射頑張ります。m(_ _)m
