We are two mixed British Shortair sisters. However, Zoë doesn't understand the concept of 'shorthair' and became The Fluff instead.

Happy Holidays! I've just come back on here to steal your Christmas dinner.🎄

Many of you have asked for an update on Izzy. She's fine! She is healthy and although she must surely still miss Zoë (don't we all?), she is happy.
She's quickly becoming bffs with the newest tiny human, Juliette.

An interesting fact is that Juliette (14 months old) is obsessed with Zoë as well. Zoë passed away during the pregnancy so they never met, but Juliette is always pointing at the painting of Zoë and smiling (swipe left). We have Izzy and Zoë ornaments up in the tree and Juliette also always point at the Zoë ornament and asking to touch it. She doesn't do this with Izzy's ornament. We wish they could have met, but it's nice to see she still seems to have some kind of bond with the memory of Zoë.

We hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.🌟

A very big hug for my friends!

It's been a while, and we missed you very much. Apologies for the radio silence! A lot of you have messaged us asking how Izzy is doing. We're sure she still misses Zoë (don't we all?) but she seems to have found some peace. She's no longer searching for Zoë and the random meowing has stopped. This took a very long time - over half a year. We can't blame her.

The inactivity here has nothing to do with Izzy - she's still her adorable self - but just with the fact that we now have a second tiny human. I was pregnant when Zoë died, and baby number 2 is now 7 months old. Her name is Juliette. She's also freaking adorable. But life with two kids doesn't leave much room for running an instagram account. That's part of the reason. The other part of the reason is that it's still painful for me to log into this account. Izzyandthefluff is now Izzywithoutthefluff. It's not right. (I'll never change the name). I have tons of unposted photos of Zoë but I can't look at them yet. I also never managed to go through the massive amount of DMs we got when Zoë was in the hospital so my inbox is still full with 'I hope she gets better"'s. Slowly I am starting to gain some peace and can sometimes think of her without feeling sad and just remember her fondly. One day I'll be able to go through the photos and log into this account without feeling sad. In the meantime I hope you can bear with me.
I'll try to post more regular updates of Izzy, and some day you'll see never before seen photos of Zoë as well.

🖤In loving memory of Zoë, Queen of Hearts (12 July 2015 - 5 May 2022). With a heavy heart we inform you that Zoë passed away. We apologise for the delay in this announcement. We are heartbroken and needed some time to process.

🏥 Zoë was suddenly unable to walk so we took her to the emergency veterinary hospital. She was admitted to the ICU with severe anaemia and needed a blood transfusion. Over the next week, Zoë had many tests ranging from blood tests to ultrasounds to biopsies and she received two more blood transfusions. She now also developed fluid in her chest and stomach. Her anaemia appeared immune mediated but they could not determine the cause as all tests came back negative. There were only two options left: auto-immunity or an untreatable bone marrow tumor. She was too weak for a bone marrow biopsy and she did not respond to the treatment for auto-immunity. It broke our hearts when the vets said there was nothing more they could do.

💉We shared story updates (saved in highlights with more details) and many of you messaged us regarding FIP. The vets had dismissed this as a possibility but it is a very complex diagnosis and we wanted to at least try the medication for it before giving up. The medication is not yet registered and the hospital would not cooperate, so we transferred Zoë to a different hospital in a last effort to try and save her life. They let us inject her with it twice a day and did a FIP test that was not performed previously.

💔Unfortunately, Zoë did not respond to the medication and she had so little blood left they could no longer draw any. The fluid kept increasing despite being drained and she was having difficulty breathing. She developed oedema all over her body and was too weak for a fourth blood transfusion. She was falling apart and we had to let her go. A few days later, the FIP test result came back: negative. We will never know what took our sweet Zoë from us. Maybe it was a bone marrow tumor after all.

🫶From the bottom of our hearts (Zoë still x2): thank you to everyone who donated towards our fundraiser or supported us in any other way. Your heartwarming support meant the world to us in this difficult time.

🖤Please Pray for Zoë

🏥With a sad heart we inform you that Zoë was admitted to the emergency care at the vet hospital last Sunday. We found her laying on the floor in the attic in a strange position. She looked very sick and could not stand on her feet. We took her to the emergency room at the vet and she has been there ever since.

🩸She has severe anaemia, for which she has now received two blood transfusions. She has a feeding tube for nutrients and an IV for fluids. The cause of the anaemia is still unknown. She had a plethora of tests, ultrasounds and biopsies. So far it does not look like she has cancer. It seems immune system related. The doctors think it is either an auto immune disorder or an infection. She had an inconclusive result on a FELV rapid test twice. They did a thorough blood-test for it but the results won’t be in until Friday. In the meantime they keep searching because they feel FELV is unlikely and if it comes back negative they are back to square one. We are also looking into the possibility of FIP.

💉Zoë has to stay in the hospital until her anaemia is stable and she can eat and drink on her own. We miss her very much and hope she comes home soon, but we are glad she is receiving the best possible care. She is currently safest in the hospital. In the meantime we can watch her 24/7 on a we**am. We post daily updates in our stories and we saved them in a highlight called ‘Zoë Medical’.

🖤Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We hope to be able to post better news soon.
