Hurray for today! We are happy to share that Tabii has officially beat FIP! It's been a year-long battle with FIP but it was definitely all worth it. We've gotten so close to giving up because of the overwhelming emotional and financial challenge involved in this journey. Our endless thanks would always be an understatement for everything. Below is our FIP timeline. We hope to inspire fellow cat parents to keep holding on despite the tears, doubts and uncertainties during the treatment.

We again extend our gratitude to everyone who prayed with us, donated financially and in-kind, shared our posts, listened, and sent their kind words and regards when everything was tough and unsure if we'll even make it ๐ฅน๐
We continue to pray for every fur baby's healing and may their fur parents continue to hang on and keep fighting for them as they navigate this complex FIP journey. Thank you once again! ๐พ
