Damn Kevin, it must be hard being illiterate, huh? Since you're too fucking retarded to even follow simple subreddit rules.

To be honest he hit that point of retardation already when he bought multiple pairs of those ugly ass shoes.

Let the begging begin.
"This is why I haven't bought any shoes." - Kevin Hanft, on his sick ferrets.
Edit: wtf I just got done reading the whole thing. Why aren't they putting the poor thing to sleep?! "Holding him is the only thing keeping us going." Fuck you. Ugh I really hate it.

Hi my name is Kevin Hanft and my fiancés name is Lori. We are the parents of a business of beautiful ferrets, proud ones at that. I am making this because I feel it's the right thing to do.
Lori is a model(which is why I am keeping her details off of this) who has been growing her work for a few years now. I have watched her overcome so many challenges and flourish as a creator, so much so we were able to finally become financially stable for a split second before all of this happened. She is an extremely independent and hardworking woman who earns her money. From the sidelines I have watched her not ask for any help, never entertain the idea of a gofundme, and quietly but surely earning enough to take care of us. A lot of people on the internet hate us for no reason, and will make a joke out of our life, even my "popular" exfriends in the cosplay community tried publicly shaming her on sponsored posts. These people try at every turn to cyberstalk and bully us, ruin brand deals for us, mass report and dislike anything they can and everything you can imagine annoying people would do if they hate you. This negative meaningless publicity in my opinion has sheared some of her earnings away from her as well, but that's not quite what this is about. This is about Lori holding out for as long as possible and me wanting to try to help any way I can, because watching her work so hard and have all this happen in one year is breaking my heart.
She has lost a huge chunk of her savings and 2 pets she loved as if they were her own children.
I usually work part time when I can to help pay for things, but I am usually at home making sure the ferrets are okay. They have required more and more care the older they get. Back in April, I had to quit my job because the ferrets got very sick and my job did not allow me to take enough time off for them. I have tried other things but nothing has opened up that works and unemployment hasn't made a peep for 8 months. Working in public with the virus was also a concern for us too. With my side earnings from selling shoes and clothes it made more sense to just watch the ferrets while Lori works. This worked for us until everyone got sick.
She originally had 3 beautiful ferrets when I met Lori and I fell in love with her and them more than you could ever imagine. We moved from Seattle to Utah because of a rough patch but have always sought the most optimal vet care possible for our babies. Shiro was diagnosed with insulinoma, Suki was diagnosed with lymphoma and an awful sinus infection that would never fully heal, and Puck was diagnosed with Adrenal. These illnesses affected them at several different rates. We did as much as we possibly could and followed all the vet instructions and recommendations. We feed them the highest recommended foods and have been buying expensive special carnivore care for months because it's all they can even eat some days. Shiro fought for 6 months, and Suki fought for 8. We lost Shiro August 8th and Suki December 23rd. Shiro we had expected a bit more because of how weak she was. We were so utterly devastated and reeling, we can barely even wake up and go about our lives after losing 2 of them. Suki was doing great despite her condition, we had paid several thousand for her teeth cleaning, scans, medicine, and treatment for the past few months. Every two weeks we have to fill up on carnivore care and pred(cancer medicine) which was about $100 every time. The vet always saved us money where they could and loved our babies, but the amount of treatment they needed was just overwhelming. Cancer is not kind.
Right before Suki went, Puck's health rapidly declined and is the main reason for this fundraiser. His treatment totaled at about $1250.00 which is what I have this goal set at. I'm not asking for every single vet bill to be paid, but I am asking for help. I was going to include all the invoices from this year but it will only let me use one photo. If anyone thinks I am lying or being deceptive I am more than happy to share all the invoices with them.
The most important thing is Pucks most recent scare/visit left us out the remainder of our rainy day fund. Lori paid well over $1000 for each ferret this year alone. We thought we had ample savings for their health needs but after remaxing my care credit over and over, and watching her 3 year savings rainy day savings disappear honestly killed me inside. She worked so hard and had saved so much, we had several thousand dollars to use for any emergency and in the span of 8 months its gone.
We had to move twice the past 3 years because both times the property managers(all the sudden) decided having ferrets is no longer okay even though they were listed on our units which took a huge toll as well. In both cases we only have had 2 weeks to find new places because both places didn't tell us we couldn't renew. Employees had previously told us we could renew a few weeks prior. Our new place is really nice and accommodates for all their needs, but the only problem is we have spent so much on surviving and keeping them alive that we are barely squeaking by on our rent. We are fine at making the amounts we need to, but our funds are infinite emergency after emergency.
Our car needed massive break repairs as well, just fixing the breaks cost me and my family $1800 but we had to pay that too to just so we have a car to drive to get to the vet across town. That was months ago but it shows we've just been getting swamped with these giant bills and we can't handle it anymore. I am amazed we had enough for all the treatment so far, but that brings me to my last point. We need to pay our rent and maybe a few extra dollars in case Puck needs more care.
Lori and I could really use help from anyone, any amount. She has tried so hard for so long, refused help for so long and we were finally so happy we had some respectable savings to lean on. The money gained from this fundraiser will be used directly for rent and utility bills and or future vet bills. We don't even want extra savings, we just want to pay our bills and have some emergency funds. I know we signed up for this as pet owners, but we have done everything we possibly can and I am at the point of asking for help. It's so embarrassing for both of us and how we were raised to even do this, we have always believed in at least providing something in exchange for money, but all I can offer this time is both ours and our pets well being. Thank you so much for considering us in this time of need.

Holy shit, so much to dissect here but this paragraph is the most telling.
“Usually” work part time
Also “I had to quit my job because the ferrets got very sick and my job did not allow me to take enough time off for them. I have tried other things but nothing has opened up that works and unemployment hasn't made a peep for 8 months.”
He quit his job but is getting unemployment? Can someone explain what “unemployment hasn't made a peep for 8 months” means?

The whole gofundme info astounds me. Like Lori works from home, why can’t she take time off to take care of them herself? She doesn’t do anything all day but stare into the mirror and take same ass selfie shots over and over again. It all takes Less than an hour to take selfie’s from your phone.
Also she got a bad reputation even before Kevin got into the picture so I don’t know what he’s talking about. Like dude why add all that in there? He might as well change details and say just give money to Lori because she’s a poor little kawaii egirl princess who deserves your hard earn money for no reason even though she offers nothing in return for you or her ferrets. Or better yet make this gofundme all about getting new YRU shoes or more dollskill shit that she doesn’t need since that’s what she gonna spend the money on anyway.
Honestly those two can just fuck off .

they will get $0 in donations and we’ll still see kev post some new faggy shit with some whack ass explanation of how he paid for it. “a kind follower treated me to new guapi because i work so hard to care for lori and puck”
i do love that the entire gofundme blurb directly contradicts everything kev posted about in his ig stories a few weeks back.
cringe king kevin keeps the milk a flowin’

Don't know why I can't quote the post, but my favorite part is where he spends the first paragraph talking about all of Lori's stinky drama while saying it's not actually about that. The audience for their drama would be so much smaller if he'd just shut the fuck up about it. He blasts all the "stalkers" and all of this shit on every single longer format post he makes, drawing more curious eyes to places like Lolcow and KF. Lori is such a niche internet curiosity that nobody would know about her if he wasn't trumpeting about how terrible she was on all of his social media accounts.
In b4 Kev posts new shoes or Lori posts more pedo clothes in a week or two once the donation money comes in, just like every other time they've begged for ferret money.

He had to quit his job to take care of Lori, a grown woman, and two (now one) caged animals?
The ferret thing is bullshit because caged animals do require daily care and maintenance but it’s easily something that can be done before or after work, but taking care of LORI?
This power dynamic is so fucked up and it’s led to the decline and death of their animals.

I think he's trying to say that he applied for unemployment but hasn't heard anything back and therefore is not receiving any unemployment. He probably didn't qualify.
The GFM is at $310 from 4 donors btw. I was kind of surprised. These must be family members.
Edit:
Lori didn't "used to troll" people, she was a vicious bully to people for years. Not to mention she was "oink oinking" at a 16 year old on Twitter and talking about other cosplayers' "sagging ass handles" less than two years ago. What is she even trying to say?

>I care if you're nice to animals.
Oh boy, I'm about to get MOTI. Awfully rich coming from a serial animal neglecter that let her ferrets die to get some tacky stripper shoes and you aren't a troll, you're a grade-a cunt that like urine_country said, bullied people and pushed a rape victim into a suicide attempt. You're an awful person Lori and always will be.

Lmao wtf is this?
By "her entire family" does he mean the pets? I know they don't have insurance for themselves because posting selfies on the Internet doesn't get you any job benefits.
Take pity on us.
My fucking sides.
Or they need to beg for vet bills because they're wiped out.
You decide.

But they ordered those clothes and shoes BEFORE the ferret got sick and they were on sale and for some reason you can't return them for a refund. Lori makes so much money on The Spicy they live in a luxurious Salt Lake City high-rise and don't need to get real jobs. She works super hard to support that lazy looser Kevin and their remaining ferrets and you Kiwi Farmers are just insanely jealous of her success.

Jeez, the amount of times he went "WE ONLY SPENT A LITTLE BIT FOR BLACK FRIDAY!!" "WE ONLY SPENT A LITTLE FOR CHRISTMAS!!". Cope harder. At least be honest about your shit spending. If you really felt that bad you'd try to sell those things instead of feeling 'guilty' whenever you look at them.

look, kevin has made such a sacrifice. he has to get around with skateboards to not mess up his wing shoes in order to pick up loris stripper kicks and bikinis. transportation bills have been unexpected.

I wonder if Kevin quit his job in order to more closely watch Lori - it would be harder for her to have boyfriends over and/or leave without him knowing about it since he's home all the time with her.

Honestly I still think the "uwahh only part time shit here n there" is bullshit. At least where i'm at TONS of places are hiring and that could be right for the rest of the country.
Kevin's just hoping some high dollar full time job like he asked for pages ago falls into his lap when it won't. Get your faggy little emo ass into a burger king and flip some burgers, i'm sure a fast food place would be willing to hire you full time. Hell taco bell has a $100 sign on bonus I think? There's money to be made but your gonna have to sacrifice your ugly shoes and fried hair, for some fried fries and effort.
I'll take my top hats ig.

Going to include the text of the GoFundMe here for posterity's sake.
Lori doesn't 'work', she takes low effort pictures of herself in her mirror. That might take up an hour of her day at the most, plus maybe a couple more hours of updating her accounts etc. Why is it not possible for her to simultaneously look after her animals? Can she not drop what she's doing to attend to a sick pet if necessary?
The fact that Kevin is using Lori's 'work' as the reason why he needs to stay home caring for his animals, and so is unable work even part time, is so fucking tone deaf it almost seems satirical. If things are so bad, why not just sell your vehicle? If the only reason you need the car is to go across town to a vet clinic, what's stopping you from catching a cab/rideshare there and back or - God forbid - public transport?
The stuff about moving a bunch also doesn't add up. If you found yourself in a situation with two weeks to find a new rental due to the end of your lease approaching and no option to renew, it's highly unlikely you'd let the exact same thing happen to you again the next time.
There's also no real reason a landlord would chose to terminate the lease of a decent tenant that pays rent on time and takes care of the property. There's a reason their leases weren't renewed and I doubt it's because the landlord just woke up one day and decided they didn't like ferrets. Probably something to do with not paying rent on time or some other form of (stinky) degeneracy.

I have tried other things but nothing has opened up that works and unemployment hasn't made a peep for 8 months. Working in public with the virus was also a concern for us too. With my side earnings from selling shoes and clothes it made more sense to just watch the ferrets while Lori works. This worked for us until everyone got sick.
She originally had 3 beautiful ferrets when I met Lori and I fell in love with her and them more than you could ever imagine. We moved from Seattle to Utah because of a rough patch but have always sought the most optimal vet care possible for our babies. Shiro was diagnosed with insulinoma, Suki was diagnosed with lymphoma and an awful sinus infection that would never fully heal, and Puck was diagnosed with Adrenal. These illnesses affected them at several different rates. We did as much as we possibly could and followed all the vet instructions and recommendations. We feed them the highest recommended foods and have been buying expensive special carnivore care for months because it's all they can even eat some days. Shiro fought for 6 months, and Suki fought for 8. We lost Shiro August 8th and Suki December 23rd. Shiro we had expected a bit more because of how weak she was. We were so utterly devastated and reeling, we can barely even wake up and go about our lives after losing 2 of them. Suki was doing great despite her condition, we had paid several thousand for her teeth cleaning, scans, medicine, and treatment for the past few months. Every two weeks we have to fill up on carnivore care and pred(cancer medicine) which was about $100 every time. The vet always saved us money where they could and loved our babies, but the amount of treatment they needed was just overwhelming. Cancer is not kind.
Right before Suki went, Puck's health rapidly declined and is the main reason for this fundraiser. His treatment totaled at about $1250.00 which is what I have this goal set at. I'm not asking for every single vet bill to be paid, but I am asking for help. I was going to include all the invoices from this year but it will only let me use one photo. If anyone thinks I am lying or being deceptive I am more than happy to share all the invoices with them.
The most important thing is Pucks most recent scare/visit left us out the remainder of our rainy day fund. Lori paid well over $1000 for each ferret this year alone. We thought we had ample savings for their health needs but after remaxing my care credit over and over, and watching her 3 year savings rainy day savings disappear honestly killed me inside. She worked so hard and had saved so much, we had several thousand dollars to use for any emergency and in the span of 8 months its gone.
We had to move twice the past 3 years because both times the property managers(all the sudden) decided having ferrets is no longer okay even though they were listed on our units which took a huge toll as well. In both cases we only have had 2 weeks to find new places because both places didn't tell us we couldn't renew. Employees had previously told us we could renew a few weeks prior. Our new place is really nice and accommodates for all their needs, but the only problem is we have spent so much on surviving and keeping them alive that we are barely squeaking by on our rent. We are fine at making the amounts we need to, but our funds are infinite emergency after emergency.
Our car needed massive break repairs as well, just fixing the breaks cost me and my family $1800 but we had to pay that too to just so we have a car to drive to get to the vet across town. That was months ago but it shows we've just been getting swamped with these giant bills and we can't handle it anymore. I am amazed we had enough for all the treatment so far, but that brings me to my last point. We need to pay our rent and maybe a few extra dollars in case Puck needs more care.
Lori and I could really use help from anyone, any amount. She has tried so hard for so long, refused help for so long and we were finally so happy we had some respectable savings to lean on. The money gained from this fundraiser will be used directly for rent and utility bills and or future vet bills. We don't even want extra savings, we just want to pay our bills and have some emergency funds. I know we signed up for this as pet owners, but we have done everything we possibly can and I am at the point of asking for help. It's so embarrassing for both of us and how we were raised to even do this, we have always believed in at least providing something in exchange for money, but all I can offer this time is both ours and our pets well being. Thank you so much for considering us in this time of need.
Lori doesn't 'work', she takes low effort pictures of herself in her mirror. That might take up an hour of her day at the most, plus maybe a couple more hours of updating her accounts etc. Why is it not possible for her to simultaneously look after her animals? Can she not drop what she's doing to attend to a sick pet if necessary?
The fact that Kevin is using Lori's 'work' as the reason why he needs to stay home caring for his animals, and so is unable work even part time, is so fucking tone deaf it almost seems satirical. If things are so bad, why not just sell your vehicle? If the only reason you need the car is to go across town to a vet clinic, what's stopping you from catching a cab/rideshare there and back or - God forbid - public transport?
The stuff about moving a bunch also doesn't add up. If you found yourself in a situation with two weeks to find a new rental due to the end of your lease approaching and no option to renew, it's highly unlikely you'd let the exact same thing happen to you again the next time.
There's also no real reason a landlord would chose to terminate the lease of a decent tenant that pays rent on time and takes care of the property. There's a reason their leases weren't renewed and I doubt it's because the landlord just woke up one day and decided they didn't like ferrets. Probably something to do with not paying rent on time or some other form of (stinky) degeneracy.

So, adrenal issues are both common in ferrets and potentially devastating to them.
With regular vet examinations to closely monitor the noodle for potential secondary issues they can potentially live a normal lifespan with the disease. Again, it needs to be monitored and treated for them to have a normal lifespan. Kevin and Lori's ferrets were not seeing a vet regularly and weren't/aren't on regular meds.
The fact their ferrets are dying like flies is so telling. Their fur is shocking and hair loss is a symptom of their adrenal issues.
The only cure is surgery. It's expensive, but it's also something you need to be prepared to need to pay for as a responsible ferret parent.
There are other medications that can help, but they need to be taken regularly. For example, there's a drug called euprolide that is injected on a monthly basis. The thing is, it costs quite a lot depending on the vet/area you're in. It could be as low as $30 or as high as $70.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: they can't afford ferrets.
Ferrets are not low-maintenance pets like, say rats. Rats can chill in a cage as long as they have enrichment, other rats for company and a few hours of free-range time a day and medical care as needed. They can't eat just any old dry food and be left at that. They need a very specific diet and when their diet is deficient and they're not getting what they need (which is meat and organs, they're obligate carnivores like cats) they get very ill. I bet they fed them Marshall's, or some other low-quality food that's essentially junk.
Ferrets shouldn't live in cages, they should be free-range most of the time. They need lots of exercise (ideally they should play/be walked outside on leashes). They seem to let their ferrets free-range as we haven't seen a cage but we also haven't seen evidence of usual ferret staples like litter boxes and pee pads, so I don't know how they keep them. Their apartment, or what we've seen of it, isn't ferret-proofed.
They also hide illness very well, so you have to be incredibly attentive about their health. Ferrets are definitely not a beginner pet and require a huge time and money investment. Kevin and Lori provide neither.
Those poor noodles. They deserve so much better.
