Yes, each time I think about what the alternative outcome for the two kitties would have been, I become sentimental :')
I am happy that you could save your cat as well! While the success rate is not 100%, it seems to be somewhere around 80% under the less-than-optimal conditions with black market and some vets opposing the treatment (I used to do the statistics for one German group that has assisted the treatment of around 3000 cats since 2020, so if anyone’s interested, I’m happy to share data!).
In my opinion, those odds mean that it’s always definitely worth a shot! I personally would have even tried it for my own cats if the odds were 50/50 or lower. He was diagnosed just before his second birthday and I’m so glad that he’s fully recovered and has led a completely normal life since.
