The true story of 12 twelves a young couple spends with a kitten diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis
PLEASE DONATE TO HELP FUND THE CURE FOR FIP
Winn Feline Foundation & ZenBy Cat are Executive Producers of "Aeris"
"Their film is not only about FIP, it’s about an innocent, life deprived animal who taught two people one of their greatest lessons ever learned: how to love. Not only each other, but all living things. And about how those twelve days gave purpose to Aeris’ life." - The Purrington Post
"I cried as I watched this kitten story….just look into the eyes of Paul Castro Jr. and Aly Miller as they tell their story, of a kitten, named Aeris, who succumbed to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). If you think this is a fly-by-night effort, check out who else is in the film: several actors we’ve all seen on TV, Frank Deal from the Netflix original series Gypsy and Law and Order: SVU; Drama Desk and Obie Award winner Betsy Aidem; and Arabella Oz of Hunter’s Cove. And while the filmmakers themselves are young, they offer an impressive list of previous credits." - Steve Dale
"By writing, directing and starring in this short film, they’re hoping to inspire those who have also been affected by FIP or cared for a sick pet, and anyone who has ever loved an animal." - ILovePets
"Aeris is a story of love, connection and hope, even in the face of loss." - PopDust
Heaven on Earth Society For Animals is the Fiscal Sponsor of "Aeris"
