On August 12 around 6:00 PM during the storm and carmageddon combo, I found a kitten on the side of the road in Kapitolyo. He couldn't stand on his hind legs, was soaked in the rain, and was crying for help. He had a red collar on, so he likely had a family at some point. I was completely drained from the day, but my conscience wouldn't let me leave him there to suffer.

After 3 hours of waiting for a ride in the pouring rain, we brought him to Biyaya Animal Care in Mandaluyong. We named him Kappy!

At the vet

When we got to the clinic, we found out he’s 6 months old, male, and weighing 1.6 kilos. X-rays revealed a pelvic fracture (likely hit by a car), and tests showed he was FPV positive. I was expecting the worst.

Against all odds, Kappy fought back.

Over the last few days, his condition improved dramatically. He is bright, alert, and active. He has NO vomiting, NO diarrhea, has normal formed stool, and has a good appetite.

Because he is clinically stable, we are expecting him to be cleared soon for outpatient care! He no longer needs intensive care or daily FPV meds; he just needs 2 weeks of isolation from other cats and several weeks of rest in a crate or quiet corner so his pelvic fracture can heal.

❗Urgently looking for a foster/adopter❗

My resident cat at home is FIV+, and because I live in a small condo without a spare room to isolate Kappy during his remaining FPV shedding window and crate rest phase, I cannot safely bring him into my home.

I’m looking for a TEMPORARY FOSTER HOME or a PERMANENT ADOPTER to help care for Kappy as he recovers.

To make adopting/fostering Kappy stress-free, I’ll be providing a full care package:

• Recovery Crate (to ensure proper hip rest)
• Low-Entry Litter Box (easy step-in height so he doesn't strain his hip)
• 3 months of Food (Feline Gourmet 400g wet food)
• 3 months of Cat Litter Sand
• All prescribed outpatient medications
• FULL Vaccination Costs (FVRCP Core & Rabies fully paid for by me when he's ready)

What Kappy Needs in a Home

• Space: A separate quiet corner or spare room for his recovery crate. 
• Other Pets: Ideally a single-cat home OR a home with fully vaccinated adult cats (since he is still in the post-FPV viral shedding window). He needs to be quarantined for 2 weeks after discharge, away from other cats.
• Care: Someone who can keep his crate clean, feed him, and play with him. :<

Kappy survived a storm, a car accident, and FPV all in one week. He’s a sweet, brave, gentle little survivor who just needs a place to heal so he can be his best cat self when he grows up.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Kappy, or know any independent rescuers with space, please send me a DM!
