Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been awhile since we posted last, been rather busy with dealing with the lost of Tucker and Gracie in less then a week was hard on us all here.

Today I like you to meet 1 yr old Hulki. The poor boy was found in a landfill with his siblings but unfortunately he was the only one tested positive for Feline Leukemia. We will be having the idexx test done next week on him. He such a sweet little boy. Very loving and friendly.

Yesterday May 26th was Yuki's 84th and final FIP injection!! She has been a little trooper through all this. We're now onto 84 days of observation and blood work again at 30,60 and 84 days. After the 84th day of blood work comes back good she's then officially cured of FIP, now we just need a cure for FELV. I want to thank everyone that has helped us throughout this journey !

Today we rushed Tucker to the vet clinic because he had stopped drinking water, was lethargic and has a very firm belly. Turns out he was severely anemic and his spleen was the size of a small football and had a 104.3 temp. Unfortunately there wasn't much we could do. He was only with us for a month but he was loved buy everyone. Be free little boy. 😢

Today we received Yuki's felv test results back.. we're treating her for FIP. I haven't ever seen a viral load this high after having every cat we've had tested... honestly I kinda surprised that she's alive still. .. shocked

A quick update on Miss Pearl. She has found a new home with a very loving person. She started loving him right away. I want to say thank you to everyone at Carver Scott Humane Society for everything on finding Pearl her forever home! We will miss her here.

Our Miss Yuki who's FELV positive and we're 64 day's into her FIP treatment just relaxing in the sunshine today. 20 more day's of shots and on to 84 day's of observation and blood work every 30,60 and finally 84th day. She's been nothing but a little trooper through all this.

So true 😸

This is BIG news! We here at Cam's Castaways are treating Yuki for FIP right now. She'll be done with her treatment 5 days before this comes legally available in the USA.

Hello FIP Warriors!
There is some potentially exciting progress on the horizon for LEGAL treatment of FIP in the United States!
There’s been a LOT of recent online chatter about legal FIP treatment coming to the US soon and we want to share what we were able to confirm AS FACT at this time.
As of June 1, 2024, veterinarians will be able to begin prescribing and placing orders for legal medication to treat FIP in the United States.
“Information at the moment is informal and nothing official will be going out just yet. As cat owners are not yet able to access it for another month, we are waiting to nearer the time. We will also be coinciding this with ACVIM in Minneapolis.” said their UK-based sales director. “It will only be GS 50mg tablets.” she also said. Bova is partnering with Stokes compounding pharmacy here in the US to produce the GS pills.
At this time there is NO information available with regard to how much this medication will cost the end user - Bova will be selling directly to vets who will in turn set the pricing to pet parents.
We sincerely hope that this is in fact a true game-changer for FIP cats in the United States and that access to and pricing of this legal treatment will help ALL FIP kitties get safe and affordable treatment! We will continue to share ALL relevant information as it becomes available.

Thanks

Update on Tucker

We took him in today for his intake appointment at the vet clinic. We have the idexx pcr test done on all the felv cats that come to us so when there ready for adoption we have all the information needed. So the new adopter know if he or she is regressive or progressive and there viral load. Plus he has a ear infection which is getting treated. We also discovered he has a low grade heart murmur 2-3 grade. He's eating well and one heck of purr machine.

Once he's cleared he will be available for adoption.

Hi all,

We have decided to change Nerf name. He doesn't respond to it. His new name is Tucker. How did we come up with that name you ask. We'll if you noticed the boys names are automotive related.. so is Tucker. He is a sweet little boy and loves head scratches and purrs. Monday morning he goes in for his check-up then he spends the next 2-3 weeks in the intake bedroom to decompress and spend time interacting with him. Thank you all for the likes and kind words. Until we get our nonprofit completely setup we pay for all the Castaways bills out of our own pocket.
