I too lost a cat to FIP.

It was a kitten I had adopted named "Patches". I had also adopted another one from a different place that seemed rather lackluster.

I found another home for cat #2 and kept Patches.

Not long after this, Patches fell ill and died of FIP.

Patches was about 8 weeks old.

A kitten does not have a developed immune system, hence the reason they don't always fight FIP off.

It came from having the corona virus which became deadly.

Again, sorry for you loss!
