Because prevention is better than a cure!

Early in 2021, we became a Feline Coronavirus-free cattery. Up until now, clearing a cattery of the Feline Coronavirus was a near-impossible task. Thankfully, things have changed. A sucessful treatment was discovered. This is a momentous moment for all cats around the world. The discovery wasn't made by one of the professors who had been studying this virus for decades, but was researched and discovered by my close friend and breeding partner, Sheryl Curran of Baker Street Ragdolls.

Sheryl spent countless hours putting her sciences degree to good use, and studied everything she could about Feline Coronavirus. Once she found the treatment that worked, she worked with Dr Diane Addie. Dr Addie is one of the worlds leading specialists in Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Feline Coronavirus. I then worked with both Sheryl and Dr Addie to clear our cats of this disease. I don't think Sheryl will ever understand quite how proud I am of her and her achievements, and the fact that I can call her my friend. To directly quote Dr Addie, Sheryl deserves a Nobel prize in recognition of the lives her discovery will save.

I have many people to thank for our journey. They have made the dream of being FCoV-free a reality.

If you have stumbled across this page because you have a cat with Feline Infectious Peritonitis please can I suggest you join the Facebook group 'FIP Warriors'. There are treatments available! FIP Warriors will be able to advise you what the best treatment would be for you and your cat. Please do not listen to the Facebook masses, as some of the advise I have seen on many of the general cat groups on Facebook posts has been incorrect or misleading.
