Milky Way [redux]

June 10, 2012

Eva says: Milky Way was another of my foster babies. He was adopted into the most loving home but unfortunately died of FIP shortly thereafter. His mom was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was loved and cherished, so at least he did not die in a shelter.

Sorry to hear that this furry bundle of patches died so young. Hope his grieving human can soon open her heart to another cattie in need.

Milky Way is precious. We had a similar story, only we lost our baby to kidney failure. It's comforting to know that even with their short lives, they were made as happy as possible with loving homes.

R.I.P., little Milky Way. I find comfort in knowing that you knew boundless love while you were here.

What a sad story! Milky Way was a beautiful little kitten. I'm so very sad that he died from that horrible FIP disease! At least, he was in a loving home for his last days, and he's now at peace.

Such a loss. Milky Way was an angel who touched us and left abruptly--but isn't that the way of angels?

(Wikipedia) Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a usually fatal, incurable disease that affects cats. It is believed by some to be caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV). FIPV is very common, especially in places where large groups of cats are kept together (animal shelters, catteries, etc.). Cats become infected by inhaling or ingesting the virus. The most commonly cited transmission source is feces, although contaminated surfaces such as food dishes and clothing can transmit the virus as well...
