Yin is 6 months old kitten that was recently diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis. This used to be a fatal disease that took lives off kittens mainly. With the development of covid related knowledge a medicine has been discovered that according to limited testing has 80% of success rate. This blog is to help me raise funds for what is a very expensive treatment and to raise awareness of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). Please keeps my little kitten in your prayers and if you can donate please visit our go fund me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/yins-fight-against-fip?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer

Meet Yin
His name is Yin. Why? Because he is a Yin to my Yang. I met him late last year. I always thought he is an extraordinary kitten. Smallest of all, baby of the family, he stole my heart immediately. Big mellow heart with a hint of bonkersness and a sassy attitude. He really is the Yin to my Yang.
I took him home as it was love at first sight - as rare and pure as it comes. I gave him love, cuddles and tuna and he made me laugh with his antics. We were happy and content.
My heart so hardened by life's trauma has sofened for there was hope and a ray of sunshine. A ray that wouldn't take a no for an answer and would not negotiate his presence on the kitchen counter, a ray that would trot around my flat at a speed of the light as only a ray of sunshine would.
But as it is in those kind of stories the happiness is ever so elusive and short lived. As January draw to an end Yin became lethargic and unwell with hard to diagnose sickness and very grim prognosis.
Feline Infectious Peritonitis. Brought upon cats by a family of viruses recently so prominent in our life, the infamous Covid disease. It is the feline Coronavirus (FCoV) type and till recently it was a fatal disease for cats, but as our understanding of it has developed so did the ability of treating it.
As I write this post Yin is at Manor Vets hospital fighting for his life. After a short period of promising change he became very ill last Sunday. Anemia that just a week ago was hardly an issue is now running down his body unable to produce enough of red blood cells to save him. Wonderful Sophie of Fivelands Vets manage to find the first dose of very expensive medicine that is the only hope in saving Yin and now we wait. We wait and hope and pray and bargain.
At 6 months of his life, so full of promise, my kitten is on his own fighting for his life.
