My boy Amber (Mr. Amber Cat) had kidney failure; it followed hyperthyroidism and fused vertebrae in his back. Vet said he "had bad genes," as he should never have had all these things so young.

Amber refused any of the specialty foods.

I did the ub q fluids for bout 7 months, starting once every other day and pogressing to 4 times per day. (His kidneys declined VERy quickly.)

Keep up with the fluids, as that is important. Good luck with finding foods, it can be tricky. Priscilla is so lovely in those photos you included. And yes, cats CAN pick up and go on for several years with the fluid therapy. Best wishes for both of you.
