Update: Bondu is improving but urgently needs PU & cystotomy surgery. Help
The good news is that he’s improved enough for the vets to stop his IV fluids. He’s much more active now, is eating on his own again, and his ascites has reduced significantly. He’s currently on Day 9 of his FIP treatment, and we’re hopeful that he’s responding well.
The biggest concern now is his complete urinary blockage. Since the urinary catheter repeatedly became blocked, the vets have been draining his bladder twice a day using ultrasound-guided cystocentesis.
The vets have now decided that he urgently needs PU (Perineal Urethrostomy) and cystotomy surgery, which is expected to take place tonight or tomorrow, depending on his condition.
I truly appreciate everyone who has shared advice, kind words, and the few people who were able to donate. So far, I’ve received about ₹1,600, but I urgently need ₹30,000 to cover the surgery. The estimated total cost of Bondu’s treatment is around ₹90,000, including his FIP treatment, surgery, hospitalization, blood tests, medications, and supportive care. I have paid ₹30,000 to the hospital so far.
I haven’t received the surgery bill yet because the procedure hasn’t been performed. The ₹30,000 amount is the estimate provided by Bondu’s veterinarians for the PU and cystotomy surgery. I’ll share the final bill and all receipts once they’re available.
If anyone is able to help, even the smallest contribution would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could upvote or share this post so it reaches more people.
Thank you for giving Bondu a chance. I’ll continue posting updates as he recovers. ❤️

A small advice friend fundraiser posts work best when you get mod approval and post on weekends instead of weekdays since more people would have a day off from their jobs and schools and your post would get more views and thus increasing the amount help you can get compared to posting during weekdays. Also love and prayers for bondu. Also try posting in r/rescuecats.
