Dear 2nd project patrons,Some of you are 1st project patrons as well, sorry for this message being dupilicate...This second crowdfunding project to save Kuri-chan had finished on 29 April. Unfortunately, we failed to achieve the aimed budgets in both projects, and despite the fact that there were some criticisms about our projects via my SNS, but the total amount of contributions that we received from you are simply wonderful gifts, and your supporting comments are so precious.Here are some screenshots of the fund we have raised from the projects:↑ 1st. project↓ 2nd.projectSome of you may be surprised to see how expensive their adverts fee (supporting fee) in the 1st project.And in both projects, you can see that 12% commision charge and 5% transaction charge are deducted by CAMPFIRE,but in total, we recieved about ¥ 2,760,000.The fund is used to pay:¥ 2,250,000 MUTIAN/medicine¥ 400,000 the goods and shipping feeand some other regular medical cost includingantibiotics every 2 wksthe regular tests (blood/ultrasonography test per 2 wks),daily vet fee (conslutaion & injections 84 days)and some other expensessuch as daily commute to the vet, a/d canned food.Regret to say the raised fund are not quite enough to cover all these above. However we had some private donations through our bank and PayPal as well, and together with those, we are just managing to make it even.The ways for private donation had been posted on my SNS soon after Kuri-chan got sick before these projects start. We sincerely arrpreciate those with private donations.As you know, on 23 April, Kuri-chan completed his 84 days treatment programme with 83 daily MUTIAN injections. And without a further extension of the programme, he is now in the follow-up observation period.Please see below YouTube link. Kuri-chan is active and plays like before he's gone sick:Please subscribe my YouTube channel so that you can continue follow Kuri-chan's recovery progress:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM8zhaGfl7w2gweQx2RiFoAObservation Period: DAY 05Kuri-chan's observation period is currently set to 3 months. His scheduled tests are on after the 1st and 3rd month. His ulcers on his back are getting better everyday, but he still needs to take the antibiotic injection every two weeks for anti-suppuration so that his back don't get any worse.About your goods:We are delighted to announce that the numbers of goods in return have been finalised since the end of 2nd project, and the corresponding goods for both projects are now in orders.We were hoping to ship the items by the end of May, but with the current rage of CODIV-19 virus in our human world, some of the production are slower than the others, and it may take longer beyond the end of May. We will then start packing and shipping, so you will get your goods sometime in June as originally planned. Thank you for being patient.For those who kindly declined to receive the goods but having a second thoughts of getting one, we can arrange the delivering the time as your selection so please let us know by the end of May. We certainly love to see more people use Kuri-chan's goods in your everyday life!It is still too early to judge whether Kuri-chan is in his remission state or not. He can well relapsed again, we never know... But as I mentioned, Kuri-chan condition is stable with the help from everyone. And the other way to return your favours is that I am willing to help any cat's owners who struggle with FIP. Please DM me via SNS, and I am more than happy to answer about our experiences including the medicine purchasing route, medical cost, a warranty, prescription management, and/or about the crowdfunding experience on CAMPFIRE.Because of the nature of FIP disease and Kuri-chan's medication being so expensive, I was way too close to sacrifice my son's university scholarship fee, so definitely without your help, I wouldn't have today. We wouldn't have managed to come this far.We are incredibly grateful for your supports and contributions in these two projects.Thank you again from both of us and we wish you a happy and healthy life.Yours,Kuri-chan's mam & Oni-chan (my son)

Good news: (published 2020/04/25 21:36)Follow-up observation period has started!Thank you for supporting Kuri-chan and spreading the words for us about this project.On 23 April, he has completed the 84-days treatment programme with MUTIAN.DAY 84: "FINAL" MUTIAN injectionIn patient waiting area:We were waiting for the result of his blood test & abdominal ultrasonography test. Maria was with us (for her regular check).The result of Kuri-chan's blood test was sent to the MUTIAN supplier. They confirmed that he can be off the MUTIAN injections and his follow-up observation period was started from 24 April.From the daily injection for the 83 days, Kuri-chan has many ulcers all over his back. There are also some burnt like scabs from the acidity of the medicine, some bald patches, itchy itchy itcheness that he cannot take off his Elizabethan collar, not just yet. But main thing is that we don't need to go to the vet everyday anymore!However, on the last day of treatment after coming home, we realised that we had forgotten to give him the antibiotic injection for his anti-suppuration, we had to go back to the vet in that evening...Sorry for the second visit, Kuri-chan! No wonder he was so moody about this...I am so proud of Kuri-chan that he has been so gentle and so partient all the way through those 84 days. In this period, he has never ever attacked, bitten nor scratched us back during the treatment desipite the MUTIAN injection being so painful.Of course, with the MUTIAN injections, he screamed badly, but with a regular antibiotic injection or a blood test, his reaction is almost none.To be honest, we wouldn't know how to manage those 84 days if he was a short-tempered cat.Kuri-chan is now off the MUTIAN injections, but we are still feeding him every 90 to 180 mins with the a/d canned food (the prescription diet food). Each serving is about one large spoonful (with more than one spoonful, he often starts to show the sign of purging while he rests, so we stick to the single serving).Kuri-chan demands his food 24 hours around the clock, and if I am in bed, he gets on me and does make me serve him... Though lately, he seems happy eating a few pebbles of dry food between my servings, and certainly, his appatite is coming back slowly as before.Some scheduled visits to the vet are:- in 2 weeks time, antibiotic injection,- in 1 month, 1st blood test,- in 3 months, 2nd blood test.Here is a picture of some return goods;Some of you have kindly declined your return goods and offered us to spend your contributions more towards Kuri-chan's medications. But if you change your mind, we are happy to send you the corresponding goods. Please let us know!Kuri-chan did so well in the last three months with the treatment, but he still suffers from some purgings and his itchy back, etc. I will keep adore him as much as possible, and I will try my best to spoil him for the next three months observatoin period.This re-project end is due in 4 days (finisihng on 29 April), and we appreciate if you can keep spreading the words.Thank you.Love from Maiko Kyougoku
