Latte is a rescue ferret of Snail's House. He is super feisty and enjoys play fighting with many of the ferrets. He also enjoys stashing/playing with the biggest toys he can find.

Lore

Latte joined the rescue not long after Mocha as the second ferret with DIM^[1]. At first he could barely move but over time and with the proper treatment he got back the ability to move like the others. Now that he's feeling better, he really likes to rile up Mocha during playtime.

Medical

Latte is one of the ferrets in the rescue with a confirmed (Latte shown in the video) case of DIM. DIM is a lifelong autoimmune condition that atrophies soft tissue in the body including muscles.

Both Latte and Mocha have been undergoing physical and hydrotherapy treatment which have improved their situation a lot. Next to this they have been undergoing chemo therapy to combat the the disease.
