Elizabeth
Having just arrived from animal control.
11/2018 Elizabeth is a leukemia positive kitty who who came to
us from an Animal Control with her sister and another kitten. They
all arrived sick with upper respiratory (which is pretty normal from
animal control.) She is super friendly and playful.

1/1/2019 This is a very sad and unexpected letter to have
to write.
Elizabeth was not acting like her normal playful self this
afternoon and seemed to be having trouble breathing.
We immediately took her to the vet hoping it was asthma.
Sadly the ultrasound and x-rays confirmed her chest
was full of fluid. Blood work confirmed this was FIP.
FIP is 100% fatal. Researchers are still trying to find
a cure, there are studies being done but a vaccine for it
still 1 or 2 years are away. FIP is very painful and the
cats suffer geatly at the end. We knew sadly it was the
right thing to let her go. She purred in my arms as she took
her last breath.
She was a fun active girl who kept her roommates on their
toes and her antics. We are so sad we didn’t get a long
time with her.
