You joined our home early in the year and came with all sorts of problems, you were meant to be a healthy rescue but no one could ever have predicted what terrors lurked inside you.
You managed to spread Ringworm and Giardiasis around our home and other pets and also poop all over the beds, rugs and furnishings. You were a handful, ran up a sizable vet bill from the day you arrived and after 2.5 weeks of this mayhem the organization you came from found you a new home. I was sad to see you go but also relieved, it was clear you were not happy or comfortable in our home and a more relaxed environment would be better for you. You had arrived with some strange seizures but they improved over days with the help of my vet to the point that they were totally gone in less than a week....or so we thought.
Fast forward a couple of months later in your new home. Your seizures had not returned but the strange rear leg paralysis that had been a feature of them was back and this time it did not reduce for even a moment. You got sicker, your diarrhea returned and you became completely incontinent. Tests were made, x-rays and scans were performed and you were diagnosed with what everyone suspected but prayed you did not have.
You were helped over the rainbow bridge aged only 6months, finally freed from the horrors of Feline Infectious Peritonitis that had ravaged your body and damaged your brain.
Your death was mourned by everyone who had come into contact with you, no matter how brief the encounter. Your new owners and the rescue who had been with you the longest periods in your short life were hit the hardest but that didn’t mean others did not grieve. You were a very affectionate little ball of fluff with your long long fluffy tail and your sweet little mew. It was tragic your life knew only suffering but you are finally at peace now.
Rest well tiny one.

So sad that he was so young but he’s at peace now and Dexter will take care of him.
