Noah and his 3 siblings were found abandoned when they were tiny - probably not even 3 weeks old. Within 3 days of arriving at a FieldHaven Feline Rescue foster home, Noah and his siblings were stricken with the horrible disease of Panleukopenia, aka feline distemper. This disease is caused by a parvovirus (related to the canine parvovirus). Panleukopenia is nearly always fatal, especially in babies as young as Noah. FieldHaven staff and volunteers treated the infection of this litter aggressively but, unfortunately, Noah's siblings succumbed to the disease. He had a very rough start, but Noah survived and grew into a beautiful, healthy and robust kitten who was adopted the very day he was released for adoption! Although Noah does not need a "Home for the Holidays" there are many kitties like him who do and we thought he was a good example of the importance of vaccination. Vaccination is the best defensive against Panleukopenia. The vaccine is extremely effective, inexpensive and readily available. No kitties should ever get Panleukopenia!To sponsor Noah visit: http://www.fieldhaven.com/location.htm
