At the end of last year we got “stuck” with a cat in an advance state of gestation. But it wasn’t like that at all. After her appetite you would have said that it’s a very healthy cat, but her tummy was getting bigger and bigger every day. So the cat arrived to the vet for investigations and we figure out that the cat was actually a tomcat with an enormous quantity of liquid inside his tummy and in addition to that he had a cold and his eyes were dripping.
The temperature wouldn’t go under 40.The first suspicion was FIP, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, a deadly disease, no cure and after a long treatment with antibiotics, with the temperature that wasn’t dropping, Liss with his big tummy was a step away from euthanasia. But as the tomcat seemed full of life we decided to give him a chance, so we took him home in the idea that we will keep him alive as long as we can. Look at him now http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.412161835522168.95544.376586535746365&type=1#!/photo.php?v=428556983882653&set=vb.376586535746365&type=3&theater.
We continued the antibiotics treatment, we passed to the shock dosage and we had the pleasant surprise that he had no fever anymore. He seemed to get away from troubles and to be sure we did a test which showed that he doesn’t have FIP.
We got the results yesterday so we think that Liss will live, so we dare to write his story hoping that one day he will be adopted. That is not before of continuing a series of tests to see why he still accumulates liquid in his tummy.
But these test costs and since we are having a lot of cases to solve, we are asking for your help in Liss’s case. You can help him by donate in our accounts

Meanwhile the tomcat was neutered because it was necessary and at least apparently he is feeling fine, he is jolly, playing and suffers a little because he is isolated from the others.
Of course we will keep you posted with his evolution and the results of the other tests that needs to be done. For now he is taking again antibiotics after that new investigations.
Thank you in advance for your help.
