Cats have 7 lives
Emilia feels like a newborn
There is a saying that cats should have 7 lives. We strongly believe this too, because our little Emilia is a real fighter and hopefully has many more than 7 lives ahead of her.
FIP – A death sentence and at the same time a battle to be won
Emilia and her brother Emil came to Henndorf in 2019. An animal-loving woman had got the young cats from a farmer. She was also completely convinced that the little black kittens were perfectly healthy, but unfortunately it turned out after a few months that Emilia had contracted FIP.
Unique symptoms
Emilia’s fur was dull, she could no longer meow, her mucous membranes were yellow in colour and she wasn’t very hungry. The animal carers knew about a new medication for FIP. The drug treatment was very expensive. But Dieter Ehrengruber was determined to help little Emilia. A fundraising campaign was launched on our social media channels, and thanks to many animal-loving people, we were able to start treatment with the new drug. Many thanks again at this point to all of you, dear Aiderbichlers!
Emilia is a patient patient
The treatment lasts 84 days at best. The medication is injected under the skin at the same time every day. Emilia has a blood test every 28 days. We are happy because she now has almost normal blood values. Her hunger has also returned and our little black panther has gained over 1.5 kg in the first three months of treatment. This is a really great success and we are so happy that she is feeling better again.
Special food also gave the black coat a beautiful lustre again and our fosterling was also supplied with vitamin B12.
In a few days, Emilia will have another check-up at the vet and if all goes well, she will be finished with her treatment.
Playing is fun again
The combination of everything – an appealing medication, care, love and belief in the cure made the symptoms of the disease almost disappear. Emilia can “meow” loudly again and makes the team of carers smile with her lively, cheerful nature. The tender velvet paws are venturing into a new, healthy future.
Emilia is now pain-free and feeling well. We would like to thank you all once again for believing in little Emilia’s life with your donation.
It is only thanks to your support that we can help animals like Emilia and give them a good life until the end of their natural lives. Please continue to support our animals with a donation or a symbolic sponsorship. Thank you very much!
