November 18 is National Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Awareness, Research and Education Day. FIP is a severe, usually fatal disease. Most infections probably result from ingestion of the virus. Transmission by inhalation is also possible. Because cats shed particles of the virus in feces, litter box exposure is the most important source of infection. Cats living in multiple-cat households are at greater risk of the disease. Learn more: https://mrkmnls.co/3AAYksf | The Merck Manual for Pet

FIV in Cats

💔 Meet Tia – our newly rescued cat fighting a silent battle against FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). Her belly is painfully swollen… her body weak… and yet, her spirit is still holding on. Watching her struggle like this is truly heartbreaking. We’ve been here before — and with your help, we’ve seen miracles happen. But Tia needs one too. We’re urgently raising $2k for the treatment that could save her life. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings her closer to hope and healing. 🙏 P
