Master Shifu is a 16 month old American Longhair in Fairfield Twp, OH, who needs $3,000 for BOVA GS-141524 Medication for FIP.

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 to him, Master Shifu! This boy is my heart & soul, our gentle giant with the 4 other kitten we brought in.

In Sept 2025 our Shifu fell ill. Running 104-106.4° temp for 3 weeks. Our Vet ran every test she could think of and all results were perfect. Nothing came back as the cause, so we assumed a virus and gave antibiotics and fluids to get him over it. Then in Jan 2026 it came back with a vengeance and almost took him from us. He has FIP -neurological disease. The medication is expensive.

Shifu is the bestest big brother, he takes care of his 4 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.

Just a couple years ago this disease FIP was fatal. But now there is medication, however it is extremely expensive. But after seeing our boy not being able to stand in his own, wishing 3-4 days of taking the medication he is walking around, a little wobbly, but walking again
