Lyon

My story

Hi, I’m Lyon. I was about four months old when I came to SBACC.  I was in critical condition, dehydrated, malnourished, and not very responsive.  I couldn’t sit, stand, or eat, and my pupils were dilated.  I’m told that I looked like I was dying and probably would have in another few days. I was immediately sent to the vet,  was hospitalized, and had tons of tests that ruled out lots of different disorders.  It was finally concluded that I had FIP, which, not too long ago, was a death sentence but is now treatable and curable thanks to a new antiviral medication. I was started on this medicine, and within a few days, I started to get better.  It was like a miracle, but the treatment is not quick and easy; it takes 84 days of daily medication.  I continued to gain weight and get better, and was soon looking and acting like a normal kitty.  I have finally finished my meds and am doing really well, but there is still an 84-day period of observation before I can be considered cured.  I am now a playful, friendly, and affectionate young cat who is ready to find a forever home. Whoever adopts me will need to take me for my monthly checkups during my observation period and then continue with yearly checkups.  I hope you will come meet me, and I bet you will fall in love with me.
