"Ghost is a gorgeous blue eyed cat who's enjoying his life with the dad. However, he had a rough beginning as was diagnosed with FIP early in his life. With the help of his loving dad and medication, Ghost beat the disease and now spreads awareness about it."
-----------------------------------
Ghost looks like an American Curl. I didn't know that there was a treatment for FIP. That's awesome news!

And treatment for FIP? Hasnt that been almost universally fatal?
I just looked it up. Its main component is Remdesivir, same as used to treat COVID-19 in humans, but the treatment isnt yet approved by the FDA for animal use in the US. Lets get on the stick, FDA!

I was thrilled to see that there may be a treatment for it. It certainly seemed to work for Ghost.
