In October 2024, we welcomed two beautiful Persians named Ethel and Beatrice. Both came from a back yard breeder who was keeping them in unimaginable conditions, covered in thousands of fleas, eating and toileting from the same area and generally near on dead.. They were discarded by the breeder due to them falling sick and no longer being able to produce kittens for her to sell.
Since October, Flori’s Friends Rescue has spent over £2000 in medical investigation for these two girls. We area now a step closer to getting these girls the help they need. Both girls have been diagnosed with FIP (Feline infectious peritonitis), a viral disease that affects cats and is usually fatal. They are now on an intense course of medication at £350 a bottle. Sadly, this isn’t the only issue. Beatrice has a number of concerning, new lumps over her body which require multiple biopsies (this has been scheduled)
On the brighter side, since starting their FIP medication, both cats have greatly improved in their general health. Both have gained over 900grams and are brighter, move active and generally happy cats. We really hope both cats are saveable and can live a long and happy life with us. Both cats are typical Persians, and will only eat freshly cooked meat, and they like their dinners in bed!
Please consider supporting these girls needs and ongoing medical care and helping us give them the best possible chance.
