I have some really sad news...

Ive been holding on posting this...usually I dont post personal or emotional stories but Rich and I are in need of prayers.

The Thursday before my wedding day Leo was taken to the vet because of a funny walk he was doing. Fast forward to. yesterday.

Yesterday our little kitten Leo passed away. He was diagnosed with a terrible disease known as FIP.. FIP is a mutation of the coronavirus. A lot of cats are exposed to the corona virus but are able to survive with no symptoms whats so ever; however if a mutation happens that is known as FIP. FIP has a 100% fatality. Im not going to go in a lot of detail but Leo, at 8 months was suffering and BAD. There are no cures or direct tests to test cats, but those minor tests that they do have pretty much determine if the cat has FIP (with about a 80% certainty rate ) the reason I am posting this however is to let you ladies know ansd become aware especially those with cats about this horrible virus. I wouldnt wish this on ANY living thing.

Rich and I are devastated to say the least. We ask you to please pray for Leo and for our family. For the short time we had Leo I know he got the BEST life any cat could ever have. We treated him like our baby and in fact he WAS our baby.

Thank you ladies for your constant support and espcially during thsi time.... Its tough but I know that God only gives us whatever we can handle (not sure how well im handling this but we are trying rerallyyyy hard) and that everything in this world happens for a reason

God bless you all and your pets
