So much has happened between our last post here and this post.
Immediately following the last post, we found out that Coop had wet FIP, a free floating tumor, and was given a prognosis of roughly 4-12 months. That was in May, and our guy is holding on strong!
2 weeks later, CJ went downhill quickly. He was diagnosed with wet FIP and Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia. In short, his immune system was destroying his own red blood cells. He stopped eating and drinking and went into liver failure. It was very touch and go for about a week. Like his dad, he responded exceptionally well to medication and is recovering like a champ!
More on the boy’s FIP journey later but in the midst of this incredibly rare event of having TWO cats with FIP in the same household at the same time, we welcomed 2 more foster babies. Orphans Sheila and Sam joined Shedrick and they have all enjoyed having each other to grow up with. Although none of them are biologically related, they have helped each other socialize and grow. Having kittens to grow alongside is so good for their development and preparing them for their forever families!
Catching up slowly but surely. It’s been a heck of a Summer here at Coop Kitty Central but we’re making it! We’re making it with the help of our amazing community who came together to rally behind Coop and CJ. I couldn’t be more thankful for the love and support these cats have from our amazing coop kitty community 💛
