Rescue Cats' Surprise Pregnancies Save Lives

In February 2025, Hannah rescued two Bengal cats, Ruby and Roxy, from deplorable backyard breeder conditions. Upon taking them home, Hannah discovered both cats were pregnant. Ruby was diagnosed with cat flu, while Roxy exhibited symptoms of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a disease with a grim prognosis and substantial treatment cost.

Despite vets advising euthanasia for Roxy, Hannah pursued treatment, connecting with others who had successfully treated FIP. Miraculously, Roxy began to improve with medication. During this critical period, Ruby gave birth to three kittens, and shortly after, Roxy delivered one kitten.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Ruby stepped in to nurse all four kittens, showcasing a remarkable maternal instinct. Both Ruby and Roxy recovered, with Roxy completing her FIP treatment. Hannah kept one kitten from each litter, and the others found loving homes, highlighting a story of resilience and unexpected joy.
