Success Stories

Real cats, real families, real cures. These stories exist so that families just starting FIP treatment can see what the other side looks like. Spoiler: it's worth it.

More than 5,000 cats have been treated successfully worldwide. These are just a few of their stories. Every story started the same way yours did — with fear and uncertainty. They ended with a cured cat.

Cat: Leo Age: 8 months FIP type: Wet FIP Treatment: GS-441524 (oral)
Leo was given days to live. He had so much fluid we could see his belly from across the room. By day 10 on GS, the fluid was almost gone. By day 30, he was playing again. He's now fully cured and an absolute menace. I will never forget those first terrifying days, or how quickly they turned around.

Cat: Miso Age: 14 months FIP type: Dry FIP (neurological) Treatment: GS-441524 (injectable, high dose)
Miso could barely walk when we started. Neurological FIP was devastating to watch. The recovery was slower than standard FIP — there were days we weren't sure. But by month 4 she was completely normal. She completed the full course, observation, and she has been symptom-free for over a year now.

Cat: Biscuit Age: 11 months FIP type: Wet FIP (abdominal) Treatment: Molnupiravir (oral)
We chose Molnupiravir because I couldn't give injections. Biscuit hated anything medical and I was terrified of hurting him. The oral treatment was doable — we hid it in his food. By week 3, his abdomen was normal. He finished treatment and sailed through observation. He's been perfectly healthy since.

Cat: Simba Age: 7 months FIP type: Ocular FIP Treatment: GS-441524 (injectable)
Simba's eyes were so inflamed we weren't sure he'd regain full vision. We started treatment with the fear that even if we cured the FIP, he might be partially blind. Today his eyes are perfect. Not a trace of the uveitis. It still feels like a miracle, though apparently it's just science now.
