If you're here, it's because your cat means everything to you-- and you are not willing to settle for outdated answers when it comes to their health care. 

Welcome home.

INTRODUCING RAPAMYCIN.

RAPAMYCIN IS THE ONLY DRUG -- THE ONLY DRUG -- PROVEN TO SLOW OR STOP THE PROGRESSION OF HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY IN OUR LOVED CATS. HCM IS HEARTBREAKING -- LITERALLY-- FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR CAT.  

NOW WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

 "I just wanted to share some really good news with you. Rebecca just had another echocardiogram and the results show that the thickening has significantly reduced, and she no longer is showing signs of HCM!"   -- Tyler G.

RAPAMYCIN HAS ALSO BEEN PROVEN TO...

  • FIGHT SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, MELANOMA, AND MAMMARY CANCER IN CATS.
  • MINIMIZE PAINFUL STOMATITIS IN OUR CATS, minimizing the need for full mouth extractions...
  • AND IS BEING STUDIED FOR ITS BENEFITS VS CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, one of the most devastating and common diseases of older cats.
  • EXTEND LIFESPAN IN EVERY SPECIES STUDIED TO DATE... and now we're seeing that extend to our kitties.

You already do everything you can-- clean diets, regular vet visits, supplements that may help but don't actually move the needle. 

Rapamycin is different.  It's cutting edge longevity science, used in hospitals and research trials -- and by cat parents like you who aren't afraid to ask for more time.

We're all in this together, and I will help you however I can:

Why?  Because of testimonials like this...

"Hello Dr. Toman --

I just wanted to let you know that on Monday I had a follow-up appointment with Kofi and he is now out of congestive heart failure! I know he has only been on rapamycin for around 2 months now, but this definitely gives me some hope. I just wanted to thank you for providing this sense of hope to me and so many others.--------Kofi's mom

  • We are LEGITSCRIPT certifiedThis is your guarantee that we have passed third party inspection on drug/supplement sourcing, quality, and fulfillment.  Look around. We are the only veterinary longevity pharmacy licensed by LEGITSCRIPT, so be careful out there.

WE PROUDLY GIVE 1% FOR THE PLANET.  What's good for our planet is good for our pets.

RAPAMYCIN FOR CATS IS A PRESCRIPTION DRUG.  We would love to send it your way, but only  with your local veterinarian's prescription, or after  a Concierge Consult with Dr. Kevin.  

ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW:  Rapamycin is degraded by stomach acidity, and so the pills or solution that you give your pet to protect the rapamycin against that acidity.   MOST COMPOUNDING PHARMACIES DON'T KNOW THAT.  We use ONLY acid-resistant forms of rapamycin, but if you are getting rapamycin somewhere else you run the risk of wasting your money.   

RAPAMYCIN DOSAGE IN CATS: According to the Trivium study, the most effective dosage for HCM in cats was 0.3 mg/kg given once weekly with food.

We have two different rapamycin products for cats:  A LIQUID ORAL SUSPENSION  and TABLETS. 

THE LIQUID ORAL SUSPENSION:

  • It is a 15 ml bottle of 2 mg/ml concentration, or 30 mg in total, which will provide approximately a THREE MONTH SUPPLY for the average cat.
  • The suspension is oil-based to minimize degradation by stomach acidity. 
  • Because every bottle is formulated just for your kitty, it will take 10-14 days to receive once ordered.  
  • The dosing syringes are marked to the correct dose for you.

THE TABLETS are coated to prevent degradation by stomach acidity.  These tablets are typically used in human medicine, and so are manufactured with strict quality control.  These tablets are very small -- the 0.5 mg size is about half the size of a baby aspirin, the 1.0 mg size is about 3/4 the size of a baby aspirin, and the 2 mg size is just larger than a baby aspirin.  Each bottle of tablets contains a THREE MONTH SUPPLY.  THESE TABLETS CANNOT BE CRUSHED OR SPLIT.

Our rapamycin tablets are available in three sizes:

  •  0.5 mg for 4 lb cats
  • 1.0 mg for 7 lb cats
  • 2.0 mg for 14 lb cats

What is rapamycin for cats?

Rapamycin is a drug meant to prolong the life of your pet, and it provides several health benefits we’ll get into soon. However, since rapamycin is kind of a new kid on the block, we first want to share what you should know about rapamycin:

  • Rapamycin is a medicine to make cats live longer and not a supplement. It can only be obtained with a prescription from your vet OR after a consultation with me!
  • Rapamycin is currently an off-label drug, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t trusted in the veterinary community.
  • Our rapamycin is 99.946% pure, and you can see those test results here.  Beware of purchasing rapamycin from overseas, as you don’t know the concentration or the purity. Other groups have found both trace lead and trace benzene in rapamycin sourced from overseas, and this kind of negates the benefit of a longevity drug, yes? 

If you want a really in-depth look at what rapamycin is, learn more here.

Common problems that rapamycin addresses in cats

Rapamycin can be used for the following health issues in cats:

  • The big news is that the recent Trivium study showed that rapamycin can stop the progression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats. Up until rapamycin, there has never been an effective way to treat this fatal heart disease in cats.  
  • Rapamycin has been proven to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in other mammals, including humans. There are clinical trials for rapamycin and CKD in cats going on at Ohio State, Florida, and Texas veterinary schools
  • Rapamycin has been proven beneficial in cat mammary cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
  • Rapamycin has been shown to be a safe way of increasing lifespan in every mammalian species studied to date.  

FAQs about rapamycin for cats

The Trivium study showed that rapamycin is very safe for use in cats, with no more side effects seen in the cats treated with rapamycin than the cats treated with a placebo.  

The new treatment for HCM in cats is rapamycin, and we are currently the only online source for prescription veterinary rapamycin. Rapamycin is the only drug ever shown to prevent the progression of fatal HCM in cats, which is very exciting. The Trivium study showed that rapamycin is both effective and safe in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats. 

Along with rapamycin, the four best ways to help your cat live longer are…

  • Yearly anesthetic dentals with x-rays of every tooth to prevent periodontal disease, which has been shown to reduce lifespan by up to 15%
  • Keeping them at a healthy weight to avoid diabetes
  • Doing what you can to prevent kidney disease with the dentals above, check your cat’s blood pressure, and do an annual urinalysis on them
  • Avoid vaccines unless your cat is at risk for the disease

Although there are no longevity biomarkers currently known in any species, including humans, our goals in treating your cat with rapamycin are to stop the progression of fatal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, to maintain their comfort, and to minimize the risks of both cancer and CKD. 

The cons of rapamycin are simply the need for weekly oral administration and its cost. Rapamycin has been shown to be a very safe drug in cats, dogs, and other mammals.

Rapamycin is a prescription drug which means that you cannot buy Rapamycin online without consulting a certified veterinarian. I recommend either obtaining a prescription from your local veterinarian/cardiologist or scheduling a concierge consult with Dr. Kevin before ordering the rapamycin for your cat.

Absolutely. If you’re curious to learn more about the medical rationale behind how rapamycin for cats works and whether it’s the right choice for your cat or anything else about your pet’s health, then you may contact me directly at ktomandvm@gmail.com. Simple questions are easy, and we can set up a consult if things get more complex.

This Rapamycin stuff really works!

My cat Chichi jumped on top of the highest kitchen cabinet this past weekend. 2 months ago after his diagnosis with stage C HCM he was deteriorating every day. He was sluggish, lethargic, and unable to run. There was so much sadness and frustration in his eyes. Now I catch him running after his brother a couple times a day. The turnaround is nothing less than amazing!!

Rapa for my kitty

Dr. K helped me secure Rapamycin for my little guy. He has HCM B2. His cardiologist would not prescribe it for off label use. I was fortunate to find Dr. K and with his help have him on a 1x weekly dose. I know that this is not a cure for this bear of a progressive disease. But, I was given the confidence that this could possibly slow progression, giving us more time. Which is what we all hope for in the long-run.
