It’s been a really tough year now. I started a new job, and then Kai (white cat) got really sick. He had FIP and I had to put him down. 2 weeks later, Shadow (black cat), my senior cat, my best friend, had to be put down because his stomach tumor was making him a little uncomfortable. Then Jasper (cream tabby OSH), also had FIP and I had to put him down.
I asked the Breeder if she would reimburse me for Jasper since I only had him for less than 2 months. Kai for almost 2 years, but he had a longer life and I gave him the best life ever. With Jasper, she basically gave me a sick kitten since he was way worse than Kai with his blood results. The breeder won’t reimburse me for Jasper or Kai, but give me two brand new kittens. The problem is FIP is within bloodlines. So all of her cats are basically infected and extremely susceptable to the virus. :/ She said she’d give me ones from brand new bloodlines, but I don’t want to go through this again. I’m very disappointed in her since she’s a vet technician. She should know she needs to stop breeding for a few years.
My vet said that 95% of cats with FIP live with the virus, so for me to get 2 cats that are in the 5% is very bad.
Losing Shadow though, after 17 years, has been extremely difficult. We’ve walked the same path together (depression, tumours). He’s always been there for me.
Can’t wait for this year to end u_u
