United's Battle with FIP


Still Missing Sweet United

It's been a few months since little United left us... we still think of him and miss him dearly.

He was a sweet and wonderful who brought a lot of joy into our lives. We pray and hope that we gave him as good of a life as possible while he was in our care.

FIP is a horrible, horrible disease.

Our hearts go out to all the families that endure this terrible virus.

If you have a cat fighting FIP, we invite you to write us and we'll give what support we can and pass along the information we learned during our battle. We do believe that if you catch FIP early enough there is treatment that can help if you have dry FIP.

Love and peace to you, Little United. Please watch over all the other kittens who are fighting FIP here on earth.


Many Thanks

Your thoughts and prayers for United and for us are very much appreciated.

It was time for United to leave us and be healthy. We're doing okay. We know he was a happy kitten while he was with us. He was very loved and we believe that he knows that. We really did everything we could to give him a good life.

Thank you again and most sincerely for your kind thoughts.


The Battle is Over...

The past four days have been very difficult. United has been quickly deterioriating. Just no strength, no coordination, not very alert.
The medicines weren't helping anymore.

Yesterday (Monday) he could no longer stand on his own for more than a few steps at a time.

It has been a good fight. But it is time to admit defeat.


God, please send your angels to greet our kitten as his body leaves our world and his soul enters your kingdom. Please be with United and let him feel your peace and comfort and know he is dearly loved. And Lord please be with us that we can be glad to have known and loved little United over these few months.

United died on my lap in the car on our way to the vet to be put down.
He is out of pain. He is in peace.
