FCoV –  feline coronavirus infection –  FCoV is the virus that causes FIP.    We want to impart worldwide awareness and understanding of FCoV and respect for the seriousness of FCoV infection. It is ubiquitous and extremely common in multi-cat environments. EndFIP® efforts are focused on research into FCoV eradication which would end FIP, without the use of laboratory cats. Fundraising is essential to the pursuit of this endeavor.

Introduction

FIP – Feline Infectious Peritonitis – is a devastating viral disease of cats that occurs worldwide and can affect many systems of the body. It is a progressive disease and almost always fatal. FIP affects domestic cats, especially purebred kittens: 70% of FIP cases are in pedigree kittens and cats. It is also a plague in rescue shelters and can be a danger to big cats kept in zoo environments. FIP occurs when the cat mounts an overly inflammatory immune response to feline coronavirus infection.

Please learn the true facts about feline coronavirus and FIP:

1/18/2020 posted by Aurora Lambrecht:  Shared with kind permission of EndFIP® and Maria Bonino   A word about feline coronavirus (FCoV)

Earlier this week I was made aware some of our members had been contacted by individuals pushing them to consider certain treatments, using scare tactics to convince them without taking into consideration the specifics of their case nor their financial position.

It is extremely concerning when people are targeted and are led to believe that if their cat is infected with FCoV, most likely will develop FIP and use that completely false statement to push them to buy what they are offering as intermediaries to the sellers. Sadly, the FIP field has become a battlefield of truth and falsehood. Well documented facts are being ignored, cats are being administered experimental/unproven drugs and pet guardians are spending large amounts of money which in some cases, it is a decision made out of desperation, lack of knowledge and beyond their financial means.

Please make sure to learn the true facts about feline coronavirus and FIP. Protect yourself and your feline family member. Your cat’s well-being is in your hands. Below is some basic information to keep in mind.

  1. The presence of FCoV antibodies indicates ONLY that the cat has been infected with FCoV, the cause of feline infectious peritonitis, NOT that the cat has FIP nor that for certain the cat will develop FIP 
  2. Most cats infected with FCoV – DO NOT develop FIP 
  3. About 70% of FCoV infection is transient 
  4. About 13% of FCoV infection is persistent, meaning these cats are chronically infected 
  5. Unfortunately, an estimated 5% – 10% of infected cats at one point in their lives will develop FIP 
  6. About 1% – 3% of cats are resistant to feline coronavirus
