Dakota’s story:

Dakota was rescued last year during the colder months of spring. She was found wandering the road all by herself as a young kitten. A kind passerby saw her and contacted our organization for help. Dakota was placed in a foster home and initial vetting was done. As we began to take prepare her for adoption placement, her foster noticed that Dakota’s belly was getting larger. It soon began to get very large and a trip to the vet was in order. It was at this point discovered that Dakota had wet FIP.
FIP used to be a lethal diagnosis. Studies nowadays indicate that FIP can be treated with the help of an expensive but very successful treatment. The treatment is brutal, requiring 84 days of injections followed by an 84 day observation period. After the 168 days of treatment protocol is complete, the treated FIP cat is considered cured. Dakota went through her trials and tribulations and came out a winner! She survived FIP and she is now ready to move on and leave those terrible days of uncertainty behind. We would love to see this beautiful and gentle gal go to a home soon!
