As 2025 comes to an end, we wanted to share a story about how your donations change lives for felines. We received a 3 week old litter with 5 kittens in August. 🐾❤️
Our team noticed the litter was not doing well, were tested, and confirmed to have Panleukopenia which is highly contagious and deadly. 😷
He and his littermates began treatment with 5 daily medications, and supportive care for the sickest of the litter. 💊
However, one of the litter, Stede, was not thriving after treatment. Fearing Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), which can be fatal, he was moved to another foster’s home for 3 months intensive treatment. 💉
After undergoing treatment, Stede is doing well and is currently in a 3 month observation period to ensure that he is indeed FIP free. He is with a different foster with other kittens to play with and has earned the nickname "Puff"!
Your donations saved the litter, and Stede's life twice over! Lives that couldn't have been saved without your continued support. You support:
Personalized care.
A watchful eye.
A network of loving homes.
That’s 9 Lives Rescue. ❤️
