Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 36 Featuring Andrea Richardson & Tiny FIP Fighter

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

In this episode of the podcast I had a heartwarming chat with lovely Andrea from Virginia USA. She wanted to share with me and all of you listeners the story of her little boy Tiny who has suffered from FIP and just recently finished his treatment.
Andrea and I spoke a few months ago and waited until Tiny had successfully completed his 84 days of treatment so that we could discuss more about the process in obtaining the medication required to treat FIP and also to ensure Tiny came through it successfully.
Tiny and his brother Mander were rescued from the side of the road by Andrea as they had been dumped inside a box. She brought them home with the intention of surrendering them to a local shelter when they had some available space but Mander and Tiny became foster fails and still live with Andrew and her husband.
After sometime Tiny was showing signs that something was not quite right and was diagnosed with the dreaded FIP. However it did not mean there was not something that Andrea could do. Despite knowing nothing about FIP she spent time researching and reaching out to others who did and took the decision to try and save Tiny.
Andrea explains all about the process of treatment, how and where you can find treatment and things to look out for when doing so. There are always risks but there are good people out there who want to help and Andrea brings some confidence that there are people who will do the right thing and help and often it is just a matter of knowing where to go and who to reach out to.
You can follow Tiny and his story on Instagram @tiny_fip_fighter and for those seeking urgent help then on Facebook you should look to join FIP Warriors where you will be linked to admin and they will help you.
Thanks for listening!
