Help Soy with FIP treatment

Donation protected

This is Soy. We adopted him at the end of August from a local rescue, and he has been just the perfect addition to our little family! At the end of October, Soy’s third eyelids started to show, and it looked like he had conjunctivitis, so we took him to our primary vet and attempted to treat it but there was no improvement.



Over the last three months it’s been a guessing game of what was causing this. We had tried multiple different medications and ran quite a few different test but his health continued to deteriorate. We were waiting for an appointment with a specialist mid January.

Until finally on New Year’s Day we decided it was time to take him to the emergency vet. Right away we were told he has Uveitis. Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of a cat's eye, that can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated. It can be caused by a number of things, including infections, autoimmune diseases, trauma, or cancer. So next was narrowing it down to the cause.

They kept him overnight so he could meet with the ophthalmologist the next day. They called us and told us they heavily suspect Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a serious viral disease that affects around 2% of domestic cats, it is one of the biggest killers of kittens and young adult cats. But with early detection, it can be treated and even cured.

We decided to start treatment yesterday. We have already spent over $2,000 in vet bills and various medications. They estimate the cost of his treatment alongside multiple checkups will be around $4,200. FIP is a very serious and potentially fatal disease and we believe Soy deserves to live a happy and healthy life. We are asking for donations to help lessen the cost of treatment so that we can manage a bit better.
Thank you
