Upon being taken in by Friends for Life Rescue Network, Baby Spool immediately showed her fighting spirit despite her front paws being bent since birth. Fortunately, foster care volunteers Mel and Zane Lamprey came to her rescue and provided her with regular physiotherapy, massages, and muscle-building techniques in order to correct the shape of her paws. Throughout the treatments, Baby Spool remained cooperative and even developed a strong attachment to Zane’s father who would pick her up and embrace her after each session. Despite her condition, the kitten remained brave, happy, and grateful throughout her recovery and simply craved love and affection.

When the new cat moved into the neighborhood, Ty kov ka, the resident feline, gave them a warm welcome by playfully grabbing them with its paws and giving them lots of kisses. Sadly, a few weeks later, the new cat fell ill with a fever and had to be taken to the hospital. It was then discovered that they had contracted feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), which is caused by a virus.

At the veterinary clinic, the young lady received food at regular intervals and underwent physical therapy while receiving treatment for FIP. Jacqueline DeAmore, who co-founded Friends for Life Rescue Network, stated that there is now a new medication for FIP that can cure cats. She added that it is crucial to avoid putting stress on the body so that the medication can work effectively. To everyone’s surprise, Spool made remarkable progress within a week of therapy. Mel points out that just a year ago, FIP was a death sentence. Fortunately, the treatment had a positive effect on her body, and she is now more physically active and gaining weight.

In spite of all obstacles, the young lady persisted and persevered. Her stomach troubles gradually disappeared, and things started to take a turn for the better. Recently, Spool proudly joined the “half kilo club” due to her increased size and strength. Her accomplishments are warmly celebrated, and her supporters take great pride in her successes. Despite some physical limitations, such as twisted legs, Spool remains remarkably nimble, utilizing all of her limbs to run and climb with ease. As an animal lover, I find Spool’s determination and resilience to be truly inspiring.
