Description: 
See Casper's HomepageGo to our official website Casper is a very special cat. He has Lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. Normally the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies, to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder like lupus, the immune system cannot tell the difference between foreign substances and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against itself. These antibodies -- called 'auto-antibodies' (auto means 'self') -- cause inflammation, pain and damage in various parts of the body. He appears to be doing well but, his fur is balding. Casper would love to find a family where he can live out the rest of his happy life.
