Hi everyone. I’m an ACCA student from Hyderabad, India, and I’m trying to raise funds for my kitten Yuri, who has been diagnosed with neurological FIP.

Yuri is only around 1.5 kg. She became very weak and unwell recently, and her vet has recommended starting GS-441524 antiviral treatment as soon as possible.r

She is not able to eat she's been having seizures and also can't stand

The cost is overwhelming for me. The GS medication alone could cost up to approximately ₹56,000 for the remaining 84 days of treatment, depending on her dosage and how her weight changes. So far for two days it had cost me 10k heavy for her medication saline and haemoglobin treatment... While I'm fundraising the amount I'm seeking doesn't include veterinary visits, blood tests, supportive medication, or other expenses that may come up during treatment...im willing to ask around friends and put all my student savings in that..

I’m a student and I simply cannot manage this amount on my own.

I’m terrified that money will prevent me from continuing Yuri’s treatment when she needs it most. I know that stopping early or giving an inadequate treatment course can put her at risk of relapse, and I don't want her chances of recovery to depend on whether I can somehow find the money each week.

My overall fundraising goal is ₹40k.

My current emergency goal is ₹4k to get her treatment started and keep it going immediately.

Amount raised so far: ₹5000/56000

I have Yuri’s veterinary prescription and I’m happy to provide additional bills, medical records, photos and videos whenever they become available. I will also keep posting continuous updates about Yuri’s treatment, progress and expenses so everything is transparent.

Today we did Luna’s CBC, biochemistry, and ultrasound as part of her Day 44 monitoring.

🩸 CBC

Luna’s WBC was 5.1, just slightly below the lab’s reference range of 5.5–19.5, and her lymphocytes were 0.4, which were also low. Mild leukopenia/lymphopenia can occur during or after viral illness, including FIP, and can also be influenced by stress. Her granulocytes were within the reference range.

🧪 Biochemistry

Her kidney values look reassuring:

BUN: 28.3 mg/dL

Creatinine: 0.37 mg/dL

Albumin: 2.6 g/dL

Total protein: 5.6 g/dL

A/G ratio : 0.87 ❤️ normal range 0.7 to 1.5

The A/G ratio is especially encouraging to see during her FIP treatment.

🩻 Ultrasound

The best news — the ultrasound showed no abdominal fluid. 🥹❤️

Luna is eating, playing, active, and acting like herself. After everything she went through, seeing her doing so well on Day 44 means so much to me.

🏨 Next appointment:

Our next check-up is scheduled for October 12, about 40 days from now. Until then, we’ll continue her oral capsules as prescribed, along with nutritional support and a protein-rich, balanced diet to help her maintain her weight and strength. ❤️🐾

We’ll repeat her bloodwork and ultrasound at the next appointment. 🐱💕

44 days completed. We’re continuing treatment and monitoring her closely. 🐱💕

Thank you to everyone who has supported Luna and followed her journey. ❤️🐾

After 100 days of GS, my baby boy recovered against all odds. When the incontinence problems was at its worst, we desperately tried to find cases on Reddit, vet-sites and Facebook where the issue got resolved, and got defeated quite quickly. So this post is for the people who are in the situation I was in, just looking for hope and tips. Here it goes!

The issues started when my husband and I came home from the hospital after I delivered our baby in march. Our cat stayed with our neighbour (he has stayed there before and our neighbour is a great cat sitter), who told us that our cat had been a bit off, and refused to eat. We gave it a couple of days, he seemed extremely tired, sneezed a lot, had runny eyes and refused to eat. So we took him to the vet. 

This is followed by multiple vet visits where he was misdiagnosed (my husband and I actually suspected FIP, but a vet at one of the hospitals in town told us that it absolutely wasn't). 

After weeks of trying different types of medicines, feeding him with syringes and draining our savings account I finally had enough and took him to an extremely expensive and newly opened hospital for animals. The vet looked at him for about a minute and told me that he was dying, and that he was pretty sure this was FIP. 

Dear readers, the absolute will power it took to not burn down the first hospital must be applauded! 

Now, he stayed at the hospital for a couple of days, we drained our savings account a little bit more (but drained our insurance company's account even more), and came home with GS medication and cortisone drops for the eyes. 

There was no difference the first week, it actually got worse. His back legs became limp and the incontinence started. He would shit himself everywhere, fall in it, sit in it - he didn't realize what was happening. But the worst was the peeing. He wouldn't drain his bladder when he was peeing, instead it was just dripping everywhere at all times. We had to throw away all of our carpets and some furniture, it was just torture. What made it worse is that we had to shower him every day (:traumatize him every day) because of this. It was hell on earth. On top of that: a brand new baby at home! 

It didn't get better when I showed up to the scheduled check-up, he was a bit more alert and the blood results showed that the medication was working - but the neurological damage was done. I told the vet about the problems, and she responded: "You probably already know that these problems probably won't get resolved, and this life if not fair for you or the cat. You've done a lot already. I just want you to know that it wouldn't be wrong to give up now.". 

I BURST into tears and told the vet that I couldn't do it that day, but that my husband and I wouldn't be able to schedule the appointment she was referring to. She told me that we could give it another two weeks and schedule the appointment then, if it didn't get better by then it probably never would.

I got home, and when I locked up my front door I realized that the next time I'd get home from the vet, the carrier would be empty. So I broke down in my hallway and my husband ran up to me with the baby and broke down next to me. 

This was followed by us crying at all hours, every day. Crying at work, cryin at home, crying at the grocery store, none of us has ever cried this much. My husband took the first 6 months of parental leave and called me crying asking me to get home when our cat was cuddling up to him. We just couldn't accept that he was getting better, but it was too late. That if he hadn't been misdiagnosed he would be fine. 

After a crying match my husband ordered 4 litter boxes that was easier to get into as the cat was limp and all. I suggested that we should fill them up and place them all over the flat to see if it would help. After about a month of incontinence, a week before the appointment, he started to use them! He would still pee himself sometimes, but not as much as before. When he saw the litter boxes everywhere it was as if he thought "might as well" and took a dump. We cancelled the appointment and took away one litter box at a time.

The vets called it a miracle! He's permanently partly blind, but my god, he's alive and well! Cuddly and playful, and he absolutely adores the baby/his little brother. 

If you are in the same situation we were in, don't give up! Get more litter boxes!!!

Hi everyone,

My 2-month-old kitten is currently admitted in critical care at Pashupati Animal Care Centre (Sector 51, Gurugram) fighting FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). She is on an emergency Remdesivir protocol and oxygen support.

Her hospital bills have mounted to ₹17,700 (Cash Memo #806). As an independent owner, I am completely out of funds to clear this amount and continue her treatment.

I am attaching the official prescription and bill photos for absolute transparency. If you can help save her life, any small amount matters immensely.

Thank you so much for any help or shares.

Hey all,

This is my first post ever so I do apologize if it's chopped.

Last week, my cat was diagnosed with "suspected" FIP, and I had to order medication from Stokes Pharmacy. Within the few days it took for the medication to ship, I was able to look into FIP. At the same time, my cat's symptoms progressed. Based on what I was seeing, I suspect he has dry and neurological FIP. Muscle convulsions, eye twitches/staying open, third eye showing, zoning out, random limping on different legs, etc. etc.

Anyways, he was prescribed to take the oral tablets, 10mg/kg. But, before the medication came I called and asked if we could increase his dosage because I was worried it was neurological. I had read that a higher dose may be required because of the blood-brain barrier or something.

He's been on 15mg/kg now for a week and his symptoms basically disappeared completely from the first dose. Today, his temperature was low compared to his norm (which I do take regularly). Although, it was still in normal cat range. He also randomly became very itchy as of today, grooming all over for way longer than needed (similar to when he used to deal with allergies). But, at the same time he also started presenting with muscle convulsions and eye twitches in his sleep again. This time, he woke up and one eye was kind of droopy for a couple seconds. I called the vet immediately, scared that the virus is progressing and not being controlled. I told her the symptoms and she basically told me "that's REM sleep, he's fine." I hit her back with "I'm sure what his REM sleep looks like, and it's not that"... in a more respectful manner, of course. The call ended with her telling me she'll make note but there's not much else she can do.

Obviously, I'd love to keep this virus in check and dying. I would like to up his dose, as I've also read that 15mg/kg for oral tablets may still not be enough for neurological symptoms. This is the 3rd vet I've gone to for a myriad of reasons recently, and I was generally happy with them until today. I only have one vet left to see if they may help, and I'm worried they won't have an appointment available before his new prescription is due.

I'd appreciate any advice, even what may seem obvious. I'm a college student in summer classes and honestly, my brain was in overdrive even before he was diagnosed. Sorry I don't have any sources for the info I've been reading, it's all been general knowledge I've accumulated over the first week of his treatment and I didn't think I'd need to keep track of them.

Also, I'm in a state where video vet consults can't prescribe with Stokes Pharmacy and I prefer the medications that have backing with clinical trials, so I'd like to stay with them. Also also, I've joined FIP Global CATS group on FB, but it's still pending and I'm a freaking out cat mom.

Okay thanks!

UPDATE: Good morning everyone! I really appreciate the comments I received while finally catching some shut-eye. Per everyone's advice, I joined FIP Global CATS, and they accepted my request this morning. I'm being set up with a support group as I type 😄 I also made an appointment for him at the last vet option, but it's 3 weeks out. Not too bad as many vets around here are usually months out.

Moira just finished her last dose of her 84 day FIP treatment with GS and her labs are looking great!

The last 3 months were extremely stressful for me and my partner as Moira battled with FIP. Seeing the success stories in the forum really helped us through some of our toughest days.

Sending love to everyone battling this horrible disease ❤️❤️❤️

My girl Oven was initially hospitalized on the 4th of July for double acute kidney disease. No treatment was really successful until we tried treating for FIP on the 31st of that month. About a week later she experienced at least one seizure and multiple instances of ataxia so on the 8th of August her dose was doubled so that she takes GS morning and night. I know, logically that in many ways she is doing much better. Her coat is looking groomed again, she wants to spend time with my roommate and I, she seeks us out for attention, she walks around the whole house without any encouragement.

But I feel like every step forward causes a few steps back. She hasn't gained any weight back-she's been lighter every blood draw despite being on an appetite stimulant. Additionally, now that shes walking around more it's becoming more apparent how wobbly she is. We've been treating her everyday for two months and I think I am simply wearing down under the stress-I get so anxious when I see her that I've had trouble eating. Did anyone else feel like it got worse before it got better? Is there light at the end of the tunnel for us? Any encouragement would be welcome-especially if you dealt with neurological symptoms.

I’m attaching a video of Luna eating in the comments. 🥹❤️

I still remember when I adopted Luna. She could barely eat half a spoon of wet food. I thought it was because of her fungal infection, but despite months of antifungal treatment before I adopted her, it only started improving after GS.

Our journey has been incredibly hard. Painful injections every day, travelling 8 km to the hospital daily, bitter medicines, sleepless nights, force-feeding, severe fecal incontinence, loss of balance, and heavy abdominal fluid.

We both cried, and I felt helpless. We were both exhausted and struggled so much.😢

But we made it to Day 42 — halfway there. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who supported Luna and stayed with us through this difficult journey. 🐾❤️

I rescued two kittens from a hospice patient’s family. The momma was one of many feral cats outside and when she got pregnant, they brought her inside. I would always admire the little kittens during my visits and one day, after learning that 1 of 3 of her kittens passed away, I decided I would foster the other two little girls. They needed a lot of love and attention because they had fleas, so many parasites, and ring worm. Then one day, one of our little girls was looking very sick. She was hiding, wouldn’t eat or drink, and was shivering. Her ear tips were cold and gums more pale. We took her to the ER immediately, and with a few hours of fluids she was doing a little better so they sent her home. After 8 hours of being home, she was worse again so we took her back immediately. This time she had 105 fever, and one of her eyes was starting to get cloudy. She stayed overnight and started to improve with fluids so they sent her home with antibiotics. Again, after about 8 hours, she was even worse than before. We took her to another ER and they ran a number of tests, gave her fluids, and said they suspect she has FIP (dry). They ordered the compounded medication and started her on another med for coccidia after that test came back positive. We were able to take her home 24 hours later and are continuing the FIP med for 84 days. She is doing so so much better and seems to be back to herself. We had to have her separated from her sister for almost three weeks, and just reintegrated them this week. They were both so happy! It cost so much money for the hospital bills and we did not have insurance, thankfully had credit cards to support this. I wish it wasn’t so pricey but she was worth it and I am so thankful she is doing better. FIP is such a nasty disease and I am so sorry to those who have lost their angels to it.

Thank you and enjoy some pics of Cheetah 🐆 and her sister Kiwi 🥝 (last two are when cheetah was sick)

Salve a tutti! Ho salvato un anno fa un micione che ora compie 6 anni da morte certa. L’anno scorso è stato testato per le infettive e ha fatto il ciclo vaccinale compreso di vaccino contro la felv. Dalle analisi dell’anno scorso si vedeva che ci fosse una sollecitazione del suo sistema immunitario per colpa di una gengivite/ stomatite persiste che ho cercato di curare con cremine e qualche ciclo di antibiotico sempre tutto sotto prescrizione veterinaria. Quest’anno al rinnovo vaccinale lo porto dal vet che gli esegue sempre il solito emocromo e presenta lo stesso quadro clinico dell’anno scorso e ha ancora la gengivite e ha anche perso qualche dentino. Io ho eseguito tutti le cure del vet ma siccome il gatto mangia con appetito e conduce una vita normale mi ha sempre detto di mettere a bisogno la cremina nei denti per abbassare la carica batteria. Quest’anno però il vet se ne esce che ha un principio iniziale minimo di fip e che deve fare un ciclo di gs di 70 gg. Ma io sono rimasta stupita perché ha le stesse analisi dell’anno scorso! E io gli ho detto al vet: ma forse questi valori un po’ alterati non possono essere colpa di questa stomatite persistente? Lui mi ha risposto che questa stomatite è conseguenza di questo principio di fip. Il gatto nel giro di un anno ha mantenuto sempre lo stesso peso e alla visita fisica di quest’anno non è uscito nulla di strano se non ancora la solita gengivite e qualche acaro alle orecchie. Il gatto mangia come sempre ed è attivo. Per favore secondo voi cosa dovrei fare? Un altro parare veterinario? Inizio il ciclo del gs lo stesso e proviamo? Grazie mille a tutti ❤️

Overall she has gotten way better with no big belly anymore, large appetite, gaining weight, etc. But we switched to liquid meds from pill form and she has started having coughing fits. Is it a coincidence or is it the liquid medicine? Its not immediately after either. Its hours after taking the medication somewhat randomly she will have a coughing fits that seems wet and she does not throw up.

We are just concerned since she was improving and had 0 symptoms only just over a week over the medication. Super fast improvement but now is it not wokring anymore?

Hey everyone. Last week my friend and I rescued Pablo after he was abandoned in dubai.

He was badly underweight and really sick, so we got him to a vet right away. Turns out his condition was way more serious than we thought😩

Pablo’s currently in the hospital and the vets started treating him for FIP. He’s had really high fevers, bad inflammation, and other complications, and he only weighs about 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs). But he’s still fighting — he’s responsive, eating, and getting his treatment every single day.

The hospital stay and FIP treatment will probably run somewhere around 20,000–25,000 AED (roughly $5,400–$6,800), which is honestly more than we can manage on our own.

Without continued treatment, Pablo’s condition is life-threatening :(

We’ve already covered Pablo’s diagnostics, surgery and hospital care, and he has now been hospitalized for about a week.
I have his full 30+ page medical record and can share it privately for verification.
The FIP diagnosis was completely unexpected

Fundraising is pretty heavily regulated here in the UAE, so the clinic specifically asked us not to post their payment link publicly. If you genuinely want to help, just DM me — I can send you his vet records and the clinic’s info so you can check everything out for yourself.

Even if you can’t chip in money, any advice, FIP info, or just sharing this so more people see it would mean a lot to us.

Thanks so much for reading, and for caring about Pablo💕

Fundraising for FELV+ and FIP survivor vet visit
Sole survivor of his litter.

Crew is coming up on one year since he was “cured” of FIP and is in need of a exam and new updated bloodwork

Crew was one of three in his litter, all who tested positive for FELV and all were diagnosed with FIP while on the brink of death

Crews brother Archie was diagnosed in nov2024 and started his treatment
Just two months later crew and his brother beans were both also diagnosed with FELV and FIP within days of each other and both started treatment

FIP is a death sentence without treatment

His brother beans passed on to heaven one week into treatment, he was declining rapidly and suffering.

After a 6 week extension on fip treatment (normally 84 days, but he needed 126 days of treatment) crew was deemed healthy and officially “Cured” of fip in September 2025

His brother Archie sadly also passed to heaven in February of this year 2026, after a life of leukemia and a tough battle with fip he was also diagnosed with lymphoma, he had cancer tumors in his intestines and his lungs completely filled with fluid
After a two week fight with lymphoma Archie passed on

Now crew is the sole survivor of his litter, and is in need of a vet visit to make sure he is still healthy

As I’m sure you could guess, three cats with leukemia, and feline infectious peritonitis was extremely expensive.
Plus the cost of two euthanasia and cremations, as well as two weeks of trying to diagnose and treat a cat with cancer
FIP medication alone is thousands of dollars, not including vet visits

All of my cards are maxed out and I’m hoping to fund some money to have crew examined now that it’s been a year since his last visit

I have been making minimum payments on all cards used while they were sick, and I’m just scraping by, anything would be appreciated

I do have many invoices, copy’s of bloodwork and X-rays I can post/send as proof of the expensive past year and a half
You can also scroll back on my Facebook and see the many posts I made over the years as proof of legitimacy
