Hello lovely people,
I adopted a cat from a shelter this February. He used to be a street cat and was rescued last May. Now at the shelter they told me that he has the coronavirus. I didn’t really know what it was, I have only ever raised dogs. At the shelter they told me that unless their immune system becomes weak, cats would show no symptoms. I brought him home, everything was fine until I found out that in 5-10% of cats with coronavirus the virus mutates and causes FIP. I am now constantly extremely paranoid every time he displays even the slightest change in health that that might be it. Even when everything is perfectly fine I keep worrying about him getting FIP one day and dying and it’s making me very depressed. I don’t know what advice I’m looking for, I guess I just want to hear that he’s going to be alright and that him sneezing doesn’t mean he’s going to die.
Thank you for reading
