3rd Annual SCIFIpawty

Feb 122012

2012 will mark da 3rd Annual SCIFIpawty (can u believe it?)

Dis years event iz in honor of da foster monsters Tippy & Drizzle, who lost their battles with FIP. These precious kitties came to live wif us from One By One and brought so much joy into our lives for the short time they were with us. We miss you!

What is SCIFIpawty? Quite simply, SCIFIpawty is the first and only virtual science fiction convention & party hosted by animals for animals on Twitter.com. There are DJs spinning our favorite tunes, bartenders offering up out of this world food & drinks (virtually of course), security (red shirts) to keep the spammers and scammers away, a costume contest, and quizmasters tasking us with fast paced, fun trivia with a chance to win door prizes. All this is achieved through the help of many wonderful volunteers and sponsors.

This event is used to raise awareness of animals in shelters, the need for adoption/rescue as well as raising much needed funds. Last year our event was able to raise over $1700 for the One By One Cat Rescue.

The 2012 3rd Annual SCIFpawty proceeds will once again benefit One By One Cat Rescue in Kutztown, PA a no-kill, non-profit organization.

330 days. Dats all da time we gotted to hab wif Tippy. We did get her and her daughter, Drizzle way back in March of last year. Drizzle gotted sick and crossed da rainbow bridge a few short months affer we gotted her. Wot made Tippy beary sad and depressed. Herz gotted FIP and gotted real sick real fast. Turns out almost a year later her mother, Tippy, wound up wif da beary same disease. It iz a horrible disease and now we haz to worry about da new foster monsters getting it too. We not sure how we going to be able to go on not knowing iffen one day one of us kittehs could get sick too, but now iz fur celebratin da life of Tippy no matter how short it wuz. We gonna miss dat foster monster.

Tippy lubbed pinnin down Drizzle n gibbin her licky baths. After Drizzle passed Tippy would do dis wif da mini monsters too.

Herz lubbed boxes. But not az much az herz lubbed herz rattle balls. Herz would play fetch for hours. And meow while carryin da balls round da house until u played wif herz.

Herz lubbed being on top of da catty stacks and sleepin on da pink pillows.

But wot I finked herz lubbed da bestest wuz paintin on da iPad.

Every time Human2 would go up stairs Tippy would run up ahead of herz and sit on da bed waitin fur da iPad to be turned on.

Here iz one of her many many paintins herz did makes. Herz wuz beary good at doing wot herz lubbed so much.

Tippy even teached da mini monsters how to paint, but nobuddy paints like Tippy did.

Tippy enjoyed grooming with the best of dem kittehs, but paintin trumped even baths.

We often had Tabby piles cause Tippy liked to be snuggled (more by kittehs den by da humanz).

Tippy enjoyin a sunpuddle wif Phoebe.

Just like her daughter, Drizzle, Tippy was diagnosed wif FIP – Feline Infectious Peritonitis. Dis iz a horrible disease. It iz a fatal incurable disease that affects cats.

Der are two forms of da disease wet and dry. Herz haz da wet, wot iz easier to diagnose den da dry. Wet FIP causes a bloated, fluid filled tummy. Tippy’s spine can be easily felt when pettin down herz back. H2 knew wot it wuz but did not really want to knows fur sure. But herz tooked Tippy into da V-E-T’s office anywho and dats when we got da confirmation dat herz doz indeed haz FIP.

We don’t know how much longer herz haz, but herz iz doing ok and still eatin n usin da box n active for now. We gonna keep her happy n comfortable for however long herz will be stayin wif us.

Dey will be togetter agin OTRB
