Happy Caturday! 💜😺

We are reaching out to help Obsidian's family with her FIP treatment. They need assistance raising funds to take her to the vet for a crucial bloodwork checkup to monitor her progress. Today is Day 23 of her treatment, and we are thankful to have raised $70 so far. However, the cost of the bloodwork is over $200, and her labs need to be run every 30 days.

If you can support Obsidian and her family, we will be forever grateful. Every little bit helps!

Everyone, meet Peppermint, my first foster of 2024! She’s currently fighting FIP, and she’s a hot mess. I picked her up Sunday from PACC, and honestly, I wasn’t sure she would make it through the night. But the next morning, she greeted me with so much s***k, I think it’s safe to introduce her to you. She’s 11 months old but weighs less than 3 lbs. 💔 I’ll do my best to help her bounce back.

A big thank you to Pima Animal Care Center for allowing her to receive FIP treatment and taking care of her medical needs.

Adding Peppermint’s wishlist in case anyone wants to help this poor sweet girl: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2354R5PS7EI6R?ref_=wl_share

📢📢 Important findings for FIP! 📢📢

A published case report has revealed valuable insights into the clinical follow-up and postmortem examination of a cat that was successfully treated for FIP with an oral antiviral drug.

Although the cat sadly lost its life due to an accident, the postmortem examination found no evidence of FIP or Feline Coronavirus (FCoV).

This is the first report on a clinical follow-up and postmortem examination of a cat that had been cured of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) with ocular manifestation by successful treatment with an oral multicomponent drug containing GS-441524. The cat was 6 months old when clinical signs (recur...

Adopt Queenie! 💜

She’s currently residing at El Jefe Cat Lounge. I was her medical foster for almost nine months, treating her for FIP. She has a clean bill of health and is waiting for her forever person. She’s an amazing girl who’s overcome so much to be here. She would rather spend time with female companions and would even be happy to live with a cat-friendly dog. Queenie wasn’t the biggest fan of the male cats in her foster home, but given time, space and a proper introduction she could adapt to any situation. She will make an incredible companion. Come on down to the lounge to meet her.

Happy Caturday!
Today we celebrate Edith "Edie" Cornella, FIP Survivor!

Edie and her sister Betty were rescued from a hoarding situation as kittens, malnourished and suffering from ringworm. Their family adopted them on November 9th, 2020, and Edie was diagnosed with FIP in December 2020.
Declared cured on May 29th, 2021, Edie's vet calls her "a very polite cat."

Her mom says, "Now she is a little over two years old, loves to sit in the window to watch birds, cuddle, get the zoomies, play with springs and scream to announce her arrival when she enters a room. She brings us so much joy, and we are so thankful every day for the support we had throughout treatment and for how courageous this little one was!"

Happy Friday, we have big news we wanted to share. 💜

For a long time, we’ve had a dream. A dream to help cats suffering from FIP, to save them from certain death. Whether it be through education, advocacy, or financial assistance. We knew we had to do something more to help these cats and their families.

Because I never knew what FIP was until it almost took one of my best-friends. “FIP” those three little letters no cat parent, lover or advocate wants to hear. It’s a devasting disease that has claimed many lives. So, I joined FIP Warriors Fundraising team to help cats and parents fighting FIP all over the world. It opened my eyes that even more education and assistance is needed.

So… Ernie, Remy and now Queenie and countless others that we have helped along the way are happy to announce we are in the process of applying for our 501c3 to become a non-profit organization. To help spread the word that FIP HAS A CURE! Its no longer a death sentence. The hope is to help families directly being impacted by FIP with financial assistance.

While we are at the end of the process of applying for non-profit status, we are at the beginning stages of getting Last Shot started. Please share and spread the word. Our website is “under construction” as well as some of our socials, I’m working on them all now.

As always a special thank you to my mentor Jessica for always believing in me and my dreams. 💜
