We adopted Chloe as a kitten and a month later she was diagnosed with wet FIP we found out there is now treatment and after 3 months of daily injections and tears 😭 she is now in observation. We are thankful to FIP Warriors for their support and helping locate vaccines for Chloe. Hope is there! 🥰

My wife and I have the most beautiful little baby girl. She’s the cutest little long haired fur ball. She was sick as a baby not eating much but pooping everywhere. She was on a lot of stuff to help her survive and developed FIP. So much fluid between her organs. The vet actually pulled a huge vial of fluid from her chest cavity. The difference between her before and after fluid was amazing. My wife joined a Facebook community and we got our hands on experimental drugs. Our vet is amazing helping us along the way. The medicine burns being administered so the vet gave us a script of Gabopentin I believe it’s called. Give it to her 2 hours before the injection. Makes a huge difference we give her lots of love and treats after. We are a week in…. I just wish she knew we weren’t hurting her on purpose. Her name is Sakari and she’s going to be a success story. Cats are so incredibly tough. I just ask that you keep pushing not giving up just because of a diagnosis. Sakari has gone from being lethargic to actually playing with our other cats. If you have questions, anything, reach out and my wife and I will answer best we can. UPDATE! Sakari is off of meds and doing absolutely wonderful! She’s turned into the little queen of the house. So blessed!

My little daughter’s kitten was diagnosed with FIP about a month ago. My vet told us about this and we were able to get in contact with some of the wonderful people working on this. The cost has been the hardest part, because of the lack of FDA approval there isn’t any incentive for the pharmacies to work on reducing the cost, but for my little girl it’s been worth it just to see her kitten turn around form total lethargy, unwilling to play or eat to 4 weeks after starting treatment the only sign that he’s still sick is his lymph nods in his neck are super swollen. Hopefully one day it gets into the FDA approval and allowing Vets to treat these poor kitties. Thank you for sharing you story and helping to raise awareness that FIP isn’t a terminal diagnosis anymore.

My 7 month old kitten, Mojo was diagnosed with Dry FIP 4 1/2 days ago. I learned about FIP WARRIORS 5 and requested to join the Facebook group. I was pretty quickly assigned support people and 9 hours after diagnosis he had his first GS injection. 24 hours later, it was like I had a different kitten. He was suddenly eating, using the litter box and moving around, whereas before - he was wasting away with no appetite, no energy and no litter box eliminations. If the choice is either 100% certainty of death without treatment or a chance at life, I’ll take the chance to save the life of my precious kitten.

Me too. I had adopted a kitten 2 weeks ago over the weekend. I knew something was wrong, he was euthanized two weeks ago today. The vet told me there were experimental treatments, but the success rate was low and I'd probably only extend his suffering. His abdomen was full of fluid and bowls and organs already separated from linings when I got him to the vet. He was euthanized that day, although I had never heard of FIP before then. The vet didn't really push me one way or another, but she did suggest euthanization was the best option. I hope I made the best choice for him, but his suffering is over now.

I didn't want her to suffer the disease longer than needed, and the vets made a big effort in making both her and me comfortable with the decision. A time after I was lucky to find a new amazingly cuddly cat. Seeing tuxedo cats still hurts, I laid her to rest under a sea of Irises as her name was Iris.

Back in 2018, I lost my beloved Misha to FIP. We thought it was cancer at the time. The dry form almost mimics intestinal lymphoma, except so much worse. When we got Osiris a few months later, we figured what were the chances we'd go through that same nightmare again. But he got FIP as well. We were within a day of saying goodbye when I found out about FipWarriors, and we haven't looked back. Osiris was cured in December of 2020. The 84 days of treatment feels like eternity, but you'll come out the other side before you know it. Coco is gonna be okay. The hard part is finding FipWarriors in time and you did that.

I went thought this, we discovered the kitten we had adopted had fip but he was so far along. The shot was horrible for him, he screamed, two people had to hold him in a towel with a cone. Right after he was fine and friendly but having to give him that shot was an ordeal. I wanted to save this amazing cat so bad he deserved to live, but he started to fill with neutrophils and he was showing neurological damage. We lost him. It was pretty devastating for me. I am thankful for the extra week or so the drug gave us but no matter how long he lived it would have never been long enough.

My aunt and uncle did this treatment! Their cat, Tux, was in the severe stages of FIP where his intestines were bloated and he looked like a beach ball (originally they thought it was parasites). He was a stray they had adopted and he was only 2 years old. Even while being sick, he was still happy-go-lucky and not ready to quit, eating regularly, and still extremely social. The vet recommended euthanasia, but my aunt found this treatment and after just a few weeks of injections he was an entirely new cat. It was absolutely incredible, and now he is happy and healthy and living his life to the fullest!

I lost a baby to FIP. This hits home. My cat was still a kitten when he was diagnosed. He ballooned in days and the vet told us that we were the most attentive parents to notice the change as quick as we did. There truly were no treatments then. He was able to go to the Rainbow Bridge as quickly and as without pain as possible.

Our foster kitty, Ollie, has also been diagnosed with FIP. It was incredibly hard, but we were able to send him to the refuge we are fostering him from (we want to adopt him but this happened before we could move forward with it) and he's been receiving treatment! From the updates we receive, he's been doing really well :,) I miss him so much and hope we can bring him back home to continue treating him, since my parents have had some past experiences with injecting cats/kittens. I hope Coco does well 💞

The most traumatic part was how sudden she was gone & the fact that her sister, Bristol searched & meowed for her every night because she didn’t know why her sister & best friend was just gone. I wish so badly that she could understand what happened because three years later, she still meows for Poppy & it breaks all of our hearts all over again.

She was very very poorly, we started treatment straight away and the vet was worried but hopeful. After 8 months of trial doses of insulin we found the right ratio for her and almost a year later she is doing ok… she’s not out of the woods and I will have to inject her twice daily with insulin and she’s like an old lady now but she’s soooo loving and snuggly and I will make sure every single moment that I have her in my life, I will make her life full of love and fun and snuggles 🐾🖤🐾✨🥰 Thank you for your videos because you gave me the courage and confidence to treat my fur baby 😘

We put my precious baby boy to sleep 3 days ago. We took him to the vet, and they said it was cancer, but after thinking about it. I think it was FIP. They mentioned a lot of flood in all his body cavities. He definitely had kidney cancer as well, but I think he had FIP since he had struggled to gain wait and was always hungry, and then he crashed and couldn’t do anything anymore and was basically starving to death. I regret keeping him alive so long, I wanted him to fight or a miracle to happen. I miss him a lot. He was the best cat. I had him since high school. He was at least 12 years old (he was a stray so idk when he was born). There should be bereavement leave for pets too.

I completely understand how you feel. I adopted my cat, Derek, knowing he was FELV+. But i wanted to give him a home instead of letting him live in a cage his entire life. So far he's 7 years old and has only recently has started to go downhill. Thankfully he's okay right now, but he suddenly lost weight, got a fever, and a huge abscess. After the abscess was lanced he began to get fluid inside of his lungs. Again, he's doing alright right now thankfully. But I understand your pain. Seeing your kitty, your BABY, sick and in pain is heartbreaking. You just want to heal them and take their pain away but you can't. No matter what happens, understand that your cat loves you and will forgive you if the worst happens. It speaks great volumes for you and any other cat owner that goes to whatever lengths they can to help and heal their little one.
