Thanks to you, our dedicated donors, GiveBIG day 1 is off to a great start. As of 11 am we have raised $5,800 in support of our foster programs and our amazing foster families. Our Ninth Life program is near and dear to so many as is Stevie Wonderpurr.

Meet Stevie Wonderpurr

Stevie Wonderpurr is one of MEOW’s Ninth Life kitties. Because of his ongoing health issues, he will most likely remain in his foster home for his entire life, with MEOW providing for medical expenses and his family providing all the love and attention he deserves.

Stevie Wonderpurr was found on the side of the road at 5 weeks old. He was severely malnourished, and upon intake it was discovered that he was also blind. Stevie was placed into foster to get healthy, but soon began to have seizures. After some intense bouts of seizures, he finally was stabilized with two different medications given to him 4x each day.

Recently under the careful watch of his feline neurologists and foster family, Stevie has been weaned to one medication just 2x each day! He will likely be on seizure control medication his whole life, but thanks to funds raised from events like GiveBIG, Stevie can continue to receive his critical ongoing neurology care.

Recently Stevie’s foster family moved from Seattle to Virginia! Because of Stevie’s special needs and medication routine, we decided it was best to leave him with the family and kitty siblings he knows and let him move with them out of state, although it is more difficult to support his neurological needs from afar.

Now Stevie is stable and loving his life as an almost one year old kitten! He enjoys playing with toys that have bells on them, loves to chase and chew on his siblings’ tails and thinks the morning alarm means it’s cuddle time since he comes flying up to snuggle and purr away. He is an energetic kitten who chats away.

We know that if we could understand his chatting he’d be thanking us, his foster family and you for his second chance at life.
