About Treacle
Treacle is a cheerful and playful young cat who loves life. He has lots of energy and loves to explore, but he also loves creature comforts such as curling up on your lap for a snooze. Treacle is very sociable with both humans and other animals, so would fit in easily to any home.
Treacle is a true survivor, having recently overcome a battle with cat flu. Despite this setback, Treacle remains positive and enjoys playing with his toys or simply watching the world go by from the comfort of his favourite spot on the windowsill.
With plenty of love and cuddles, Treacle will be sure to bring joy to any family!
Medical notes
Cat flu is a virus that, much like human flu, can leave them with a fever and runny nose and eyes. Cat flu is not usually serious in healthy cats. But it can be serious, and even fatal, in kittens and adult cats with underlying illnesses, so it's important to get your pet to the vet.
Are there long-term effects of cat flu?
Once infected, cats shed virus particles in their saliva and discharge from their nose and eyes.
Particles can survive for a week or longer in their environment, so a cat does not even need to meet another to catch the illness. It can easily be spread by contact with infected feed bowls or toys, or on people's clothing after touching an infected cat.
Carriers of cat flu
Following infection, many cats are left as carriers, which means they do not have any symptoms but can potentially infect others.
Some carrier cats occasionally have a runny eye or nose for a few days. Recurrences of flu can follow stressful events, such as a visit to the vet or the arrival of a new cat in the house.
