University of Wisconsin Veterinary Care is looking for cats with FIP. The UWVC is conducting an ongoing study examining the evolution of feline coronavirus and the host's antibody response in the transformation to the virulent form of the virus in both affected cats and their unaffected contacts. Study participants will have up to $400 of their UWVC bill reimbursed to reach the diagnosis of FIP, or can enroll without any cost to submit samples without a UWVC appointment and workup. Unfortunately, there is no treatment component at this time, but the knowledge gained will help the researchers understand the virus and take step toward new treatment options.

Study contacts are on the flyer and can be contacted directly with any questions!
