Adoptoi Flloyd
Rasvahybridi · Tuntematon
Flloyd was our resident lion. Flloyd may have looked like he stepped straight out of a wildlife documentary, but this magnificent "lion" was, in fact, a Maine Coon. He arrived at the sanctuary after a caring lady, who adored him dearly, found herself unable to continue caring for her cats due to personal circumstances. After a long, emotional search for the right home, she felt certain that this was the place where Flloyd could live his life exactly as he wished. And he did! He had a wonderful life here with us. However, a few weeks ago we noticed Floyd was losing weight drastically, and we knew something wasn't right; he was taken straight in for full tests, blood work, and examinations and referred to a specialist for further screenings, but heartbreakingly, the night before his appointment his condition deteriorated rapidly and became critical. We rushed him to the emergency clinic, but it was already too late—Floyd was diagnosed with FIP, a severe and rare disease that causes catastrophic damage to the body. His chest and abdominal cavities had filled with fluid, and his little body simply couldn't keep up. FIP is a rare and devastating mutation of a virus that cats encounter all the time, making it all the more frightening and unfair. Losing Floyd reminded us that even with the very best care, medications, veterinarians, and the deepest love, sometimes we still cannot save them all. Floyd may no longer be physically with us, but he will always be part of us—our king, our quiet judge, forever loved and never forgotten.
