Happy Caturday! Time to share some looooooong overdue adoption updates, starting with this cutie pie š»
#206 Tiger Eye! Having just recently moved to St Pete, this family wasn't necessarily looking to adopt when they visited the cat lounge...but isn't that how it always goes? š¹ This guy is a super sweet snuggle bug and by the end of their visit they were texting pictures of Tiger to dad at home to get him on board with the adoption. Dad said yes and this sweet boy was headed home not too long afterwards!
Here's where the plot twist comes in: we all thought Tiger Eye was just an incredibly chill kitten (he is, but....) but unfortunately, just a few weeks after he was adopted he started losing weight and stumbling around the house, unable to jump on furniture or use the litter box. Within a couple of days of showing symptoms, he was diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) šæ
FORTUNATELY, we have experience with this and his family wanted to do everything they could to try and save him, so we acted swiftly and got him started on the rigorous 84 days of shots to treat the FIP.
Fast forward to over 6 months later....Tiger did GREAT with the treatment and is past his 84 day post-medication observation period and thriving!! ššš We have another on our hands, folks!!
This little guy is a trooper and his family loves him SO much (even his older kitty sister who found him very annoying at first š). He's still as sweet as ever and never misses an opportunity to snuggle with everyone in his family, including his doggy sister š„¹ Another happy SKC adoption story, and I am so proud of this family for pushing through the FIP obstacles to help this guy live his very best kitty life! Congrats to Tiger and his family! ā¤ļø
