Hi everybody.

Around two weeks ago, our baby (orange sphynx boy) Jonesy began displaying some worrying symptoms. He's always been a super energetic, bouncy and playful guy, and always hungry. He suddenly started losing his appetite, not playing and seeming really lethargic.

We booked him in for a vets visit and they found a worrying lump around his abdomen - we believed for several days it would be lymphoma.

Over the past two weeks there's been several vet visits, sedations, samples taken, medications given to try to boost his appetite, decrease nausea and pain etc. He's a shell of his former self at the minute, extremely skinny, barely any energy and we've had to stay with him 24/7 to take care of him and keep watch.

We're finally at a point where the vet is quite confident that Jonesy has something called FIP - a fairly rare mutated virus that affects young cats (he's not even 3 yet).
Up until a few years ago this was a death sentence, but thankfully we're in a time where medication has been approved and shared with vets.

Our baby boy Jonesy has some hope. Our insurance is well over maxed out now, and the minimum cost for FIP treatment for a cat of his size is £2100 - it's likely with a few monthly checkups to keep an eye on his levels that this will be quite a bit higher.

Last year we began a fundraiser for our dear friend after her dog son was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and the community really pulled through - we could really do with some of that help and love now.

Because of him needing constant supervision over the past two weeks, and because I'm self-employed, I've lost several days of work on top of the vet costs. Luckily we do have some savings, and we don't expect this project to be 100% funded at all, but any help will go far in making life a little less stressful.

We're already so grateful for all the love we've received so far, and most importantly we're relieved that we can now hold on to a little bit of hope - Jonesy is our entire world, our main source of joy and unconditional love.

If you buy a print, thank you so much holding that hope with us. You're also free to just donate - any amount at all.

All the love,

Tozer, Tomos & Jonesy
