My story with Torto started when he was a 60-day-old kitten. He and his brothers were rescued from a cemetery and as soon as they arrived they developed panleukopenia. Torto was the only survivor, but he was left with a sequel of the disease, cerebellar hypoplasia. This meant that he was never adopted, living in a shelter for three years. In March 2020, after the loss of one of his best friends at the shelter, Torto developed FIP and began to lose weight. In a few days we would no longer be able to recognize that strong and determined cat from before and we knew that he was heading towards a sad end. So I brought him to my house and we decided to to treat him with GS-441524. Torto quickly responded to the treatment and returned to his previous weight, became active and curious. Unfortunately, cerebellar hypoplasia made it difficult to see their neurological problems. He relapsed and we restarted the treatment. In this second cycle, he became even more active and showed everyone that he would not give up easily. Torto fought and won, ended his second cycle and was officially considered cured in November 2020. His treatment brought him the long-awaited definitive home: Torto was adopted by one of my best friends and is now the love of his life. We are privileged to be part of the healing story of FIP, a disease that has led to many of my rescued cats in the past. I can never thank enough Dr. Niels Pedersen's team, all the volunteers who guided us along this way, and all the people who contributed financially and emotionally to the treatment. I hope I can give back all the help I've had and I dream of the day when the cure will be more accessible to all cats with this disease.
