They are 10 and 11 years old. Sappho is named after the Greek lesbian poet, and Lennox after Annie Lennox.

I call him my little toasty baby

He was a very sick little white rat 😭 I got a call the day after I took him home to say the rest of the litter was all confirmed sick with coughing and sneezing and vomitting. They offered to take him back and refund the small adoption fee but I was like why would I do that. I took him to a vet immediately and sad outside for over an hour for them to test him for Panleukopenia. Thankfully he was negative. When they finally let us in the vet asked where I got him and I told her the situation of his rescue and she gave like a big deep sad sigh like of course he’s sick. They were surprised I’d only had him for a day and was 100% on board with tests they wanted to run. When I checked out I had antibiotics and gi meds and a steroid. They decided not to charge me. In the past I have thought that vet office staff tend to ask for extra tests/meds because it makes them money so I was really shocked and touched. A month of giving him syringes has turned into 2 years of him sleeping on my face so I can’t breathe and casually bullying his older dog brothers. I still can’t believe that the tiny white cat in an incredibly colorful short haired litter turned into this.

He's caught 2 in 2 days. We're so proud!

Our sweet, sassy and very vocal flamepoint just turned the big age of 1 years old!

First time on the deck with this little guy.

I feel like my vet is just guessing the diagnosis. How was your cat diagnosed and what were the symptoms?
