I'd never even heard of it until I looked it up after seeing your post. It sounds a devastating illness. Do you have a cat who has been diagnosed with key-gaskell?

Hi. Yes four years ago we lost our cat to this awful disease. It was really rare then but I have been contacted by 5 people this year who's cat has been diagnosed with it.
I am trying to get info on the disease out there for people. When our cat had it there was no information. I have contacted vets and referral centres worldwide for our web page so it can help other people

Tell people your experience with having a cat who suffered KGS. Make sure people understand what the risk factors are and what causes it. I would research everything about the disease before telling people, "My cat had KGS. Make sure that does not happen to your cat."
