Master Shifu is a 1.5 year old American Longhair in Fairfield Twp, OH, who needs $5,000 for MRI w/ Sedation and Spinal Tap to Diagnose.

I had been bugging my husband about getting another cat so our 4 yr old female tabby would have a friend. One Friday night I fell in love with a picture of this handsome boy at our local animal shelter. I knew I had to have him! We kept the name from the shelter that was so fitting for him, Master Shifu! This boy is my heart & soul, our gentle giant.

In Sept 2025 our Shifu fell ill. Running 104-106.4° temp for 3 weeks. All test came back with perfect results. Then Jan 2026 it came back and almost took him from us. He was unable to walk or hardly move on February 16th & went to MedVet. They believe he has FIP, but now 4 months later there is something else Neuro happening and he needs an MRI to diagnose. 4 month of FIP meds taken. Needs MRI.

Shifu is the bestest big brother, he takes care of his 8 littles and he is a great little brother who loves to give chase to our older cat. He has the sweetest soul and is such a good boy. Loves to play fetch with his ball and loves to get belly rubs! Yes, I said belly rubs! He has the most beautiful “feather duster” tail that is 16” long and he is extremely handsome in his purrfect tux.

Shifu has been on GS-441624 for 4 months and we can purchase the meds but need help with the cost of the MRI to fully diagnose his condition. We have spent a lot to get him back to his old (young) self. He has a lot of life left in him and we need him, he is a sweetheart!
