Be Aware of FIP-We adopted a 5 month old healthy looking & acting kitten from a shelter. We only had him 3 months and we had to put him to sleep this week because he became so ill with Feline Infectious Pertinitis. Our hearts are broken. We're so glad he came into our lives and brightened them up, but his time with us was just too short. He was only a baby. We didn't even knew FIP existed. It is a horrific painful fatal virus with no cure. FIP is very rare, but it is fatal and it takes kittens that have low immune systems. Keep adopting--just be aware.
