Remembering Noa
Noa passed away in May 2022. He got dry fyp, you read the post Noa has left us.
I am a sweet boy with temper when required. I know how to put limits. I do respect other cats and have fun sometimes. When visits come I am quite ok, which allows me to say that if you adopt me it would be easy for you and I very quickly. My worst moments are if you try to make take medecine, which unfortunately happen quite often. Continue reading below.
My health is of concern currently. I am brought to the vet quite often these days. I am skinnier than should and a tad bit lethargic at times. We are taking further steps to find out exactly what is going on.
When I'm fine I am playful guy. And I was born in a house safe and sound, unfortunately I have this recurrent issue called Calcivirus .... and right now we are investigating what is eating instead of me. A lot of horrible deseases have been overruled and I am periodically dewormed so we'll see....

Watch Noa
Read the story
This is Noa. He was born in our house, to his mum, Bati. He was gentle, a little fragile… and he never went outside.
Noa had FIP: feline infectious peritonitis. It starts with a very common coronavirus, one most cats carry without any harm. But in a few cats, the virus changes, and the body turns against itself.
For decades, FIP meant one thing: goodbye. When Noa got sick, there was no cure.
Then, in 2019, researchers at the University of California, Davis, published a trial of an antiviral called GS-441524. Most of the cats recovered.
Today, studies report recovery in more than eight out of ten treated cats.
At first, treatment meant an injection every day, for twelve weeks. Eighty-four of them. And they sting. Cats had very strong opinions about that. Today, in many countries, it's a tablet.
But where you live still decides whether your vet can give it. In the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, the United States and Canada, vets can prescribe it legally.
In Spain, they still can't. So owners here face an impossible choice, and some turn to products that nobody controls.
European vets have asked lawmakers for a legal option. We hope they're heard soon.
If your young cat has a fever that won't go away, a swollen belly, or keeps losing weight, see your vet early. Time matters.
Noa didn't get his chance. We'd like every cat after him to get theirs.
