www.alleycat.org 2 | ALLEY CAT ACTION, SUMMER 2025 After Long FIP Recovery, Chifileit Reunited with Her Family WILLY Cat #5,000 with Atlantic County grant CHIFILEIT connections with and provides support to veterinary professionals who have the experience and skill to take it on. So, Chifileit beat FIP and made it—and then some! Today, she dives into every bowl of food with enthusiasm and, rather than shy away due to pain, soaks up all the affection she can get. 5,000 Cat Milestone Reached with Atlantic County TNR Grant (continued from page 1) You SAVED Their LIVES With her unbreakable spirit—and expert veterinary care covered by Alley Cat Allies—Chifileit pulled through an arduous recovery from feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). And this season, her family was finally able to bring her home! Without treatment, which can be challenging and multifaceted, FIP is fatal. When we first took on Chifileit’s care, she could barely stand up straight and refused to swallow more than a mouthful of food. But Alley Cat Allies forges powerful WATCH: Chifileit finally goes home with her family. Chifileit Reunites with Her Family As of the beginning of summer, Alley Cat Allies surpassed a milestone of 5,000 cats helped in our latest Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) collaboration with the Humane Society of Atlantic County (HSAC). To continue the lifesaving momentum, Alley Cat Allies has issued a new grant to help 1,000 more cats and kittens in the next months. And, we’re keeping up our support for the county’s first-of-its-kind community cat food bank, which serves more than 800 cats every day. “HSAC’s work with Alley Cat Allies is setting the standard for how a community TNR program should function. Collaboration is key, and through Alley Cat Allies’ support and leadership and our close work with local advocates, we are reaching more community cats than ever before,” said Steve Dash, executive director of HSAC. Happy One-Year Adopt-a-Versary to George George plays hard with toys, jumps on windowsills to gaze out at the yard, and walks around like he owns his home. And he does it all on only three legs.
