Angelica Feline Infectious Peritonitis Memorial Trust

I want to eradicate feline coronavirus (FCoV) and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

If you would like to support ending FIP, please donate to me and my research.

People often think that I am searching for a cure for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), but the cure—GS-441524—was found by Prof. Pedersen in 2019. I am more interested in preventing cats from becoming sick in the first place. I want to eradicate feline coronavirus, to save cats from ever becoming ill with FIP. If you share this goal and would like to support me and my research, (which does NOT involve deliberately infecting laboratory cats) please enrol for one of the subscription programs below or make a donation. If you cannot afford a monetary donation, you can still support my work by sharing details of the website on social media.

Every so often, people ask how to make a donation to FIP research. If you would like to make a donation, you may do so using any of the following methods:

Donations to fund Dr Addie directly can be made by Bitcoin, sending to the Bitcoin address: 1HDvzFkutTTtWGAy2DcDWtj1ghTfYFLwR9 Please email Dr Addie at draddie[at] catvirus [dot] com to let her know that you’ve made a Bitcoin subscription or donation, especially if your reason was so that she would examine your cat’s laboratory results or you want her to answer a veterinary query. (Remember in the latter two cases to include your veterinary surgeon’s permission for her to communicate with you.)

To set up a regular bank transfer: email Dr Addie at draddie [at] catvirus [dot] com for bank details and please let her know which currency you’d prefer to pay in.

Amazon voucher gifts to support Dr Addie personally are always welcome and can be sent to e-books [at] catvirus [dot] com

Angelica was a natural mink Tonkinese cat dearly beloved of Mr. Wayne Carr, from the USA. When Angelica died, Mr. Carr made a generous donation to my research into feline coronavirus and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

When you donate, please indicate whether you would like your name to be added to the list of donors. Please tell me if your donation is in loving memory of a cat who was special to you, and whether or not you’d like his or her name mentioned in the list below (you might like to include your web site URL or a link to a tribute blog, YouTube video or Facebook page you may have done for your cat).

Toi et moi nous nous sommes battus contre cette maladie qui emporte les jeunes chats, sans pitié. Mais elle a finalement eu raison de ta vie. Tu t'es éteint chez le vétérinaire et je garde le souvenir d'un chat affectueux et tendre, le rythme à travers l'oreiller de ton petit coeur battant, quand tu dormais à côté de moi, paisible et apaisant. Chapo mon petit ange, tu emportes avec toi tout l'amour que l'on t'a donné. Tu m'as épargné la terrible décision, pourtant, je regretterai toujours de n'avoir pu te serrer dans mes bras lorsque tu t'es endormi....

Mariko Parslow: In loving memory of Starlet, and praying that FCoV / FIP may soon be overcome by advancement of veterinary science!
	Claire K - In loving memory of Meg Mog, sorely missed.

Funding for FCoV/FIP research is very difficult to find and I am immensely grateful to those generous individuals who have given what they can for research.

I refuse to experiment on cats, so all my FIP research has been done on naturally infected cats: I am immensely grateful to the cats themselves, to their generous guardians who have permitted samples to be sent to our laboratory, and to their veterinary surgeons for taking the time and trouble to prepare and mail samples.

For three decades I’ve studied feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and been distressed to hear that some cats go through torture in the attempt to reach a diagnosis. How about we stop the cat getting infected with coronavirus in the first place? In 2019 I found the Holy Grail of what I'd been searching for - a pill which would stop FCoV shedding, it is called Mutian X. To be accurate, cat breeder Sheryl Curran found the pill, and she and I worked together to determine the best protocol for stopping non-FIP cats shedding virus in their faeces. (Addie et al, 2020) Many donations were used to test cat faeces for the presence or absence of coronavirus. So far, 28 households and over 141 cats are now FCoV-free: I'm aiming for one million! :-) Does stopping FCoV shedding prevent FIP? I don't yet know, but preliminary results seem to indicate that it does. At present, amongst other projects, your donations will be used to further this work.

FIP Cure - a cure for FIP was discovered by Prof. Niels Pedersen (see the FIP Treatment page for more details). Currently people are able to purchase various preparations online: my favourite of these is Mutian pills (not injection) and we reported the cure of a cat called Skywise in a case report and this year (2022) we published how to differentiate cats in remission from cured cats. In the UK and Australia, a fully legal version of Mutian pills became available made my Bova Specials Ltd. I will be investigating the best protocol for Bova GS-441524 pills, and ensuring that it is safe and without side effects. I am also working on developing a more affordable FIP treatment protocol.

We demonstrated that quarantine and FCoV antibody testing can prevent FCoV being introduced into a group of cats (Addie et al, 2012). The next step was to find out which FCoV antibody tests were adequately sensitive to enable effective screening: see my paper Addie et al, 2015.

Cat litter to reduce FCoV infection: the litter tray is the source of FCoV infection and breaking the cycle of infection and re-infection in multicat households would prevent FIP. Funding from this website enabled a comparison of cat litters for anti-coronavirus activity, I found that commercially available cat litters had widely differing abilities to neutralise coronavirus in the laboratory: but would they make any difference in the field? We assessed the activity of various cat litters against feline coronavirus in two households of naturally infected cats and found that Dr Elsey Cat Attract statistically significantly reduced FCoV transmission. The paper was published online by JFMS in 2020.

Carrier cats: the main source of FCoV is healthy cats shedding virus and some cats become lifelong shedders of virus. We have just discovered a way to stop cats shedding the virus, and acting as a source of infection for other cats, some of whom will then go on to develop FIP. However, one concern is that we are using the same powerful drug as is used to treat FIP, therefore we are presently researching an alternative protocol for stopping FCoV shedding and preventing FIP.

FCoV resistant cats: the Orion Foundation funded preliminary work looking at the genes which govern immunity in the cat, this pilot study was published in the April edition of JFMS 2004. On this occasion, no marker was found, though interesting differences in the numbers of these genes was found in different cat breeds.

To develop an affordable FIP treatment protocol for those people who cannot afford GS-441524 or remdesivir.

To investigate the role of feline coronavirus in inflammatory bowel disease / chronic enteropathy.

To follow naturally infected cats and, with the help of their humans, eliminate this virus from the cats. This involves taking samples of faeces, and occasionally blood.

Catvirus.com donations are being used to pay publication fees to allow my scientific papers to be open access.

Your donations enable me to continue producing educational material to aid the eradication of FCoV, and therefore FIP, for example for employing cartoonists. Recently I bought a Lightworks video editing software.

In the past, donations were used to buy the chemicals needed to do the experiments to discover more about natural feline coronavirus infection and FIP.

Equipment - donations from the Angelica Trust have enabled the purchase of a PCR machine, microscope (thank you Loretta!) and -80oC freezer (thank you Steve and others!)

In the past, donations funded performance of post mortems on naturally infected cats who partook in surveys or treatment trials, and then cremation and return of the ashes to the people who loved those cats.

We assessed available FCoV antibody tests so that the best could be identified for use in eradicating FCoV, and therefore FIP and to discourage the use of poor FCoV antibody tests. The results of this study were published in JFMS in 2015 and can be found on the FCoV antibody page of this website.

To pay for FCoV RT-qPCR testing of faeces of naturally infected cats: this is part of a preliminary study to try to find a more affordable antiviral than GS-441524.

Please note my research involves only naturally infected cats, not experimental cats or experiments on any other kind of animals.

Research papers published so far on research which was funded completely or in part by donors to this website:

The following links will take you to the websites where the papers are open access and free to download, they will open in a new tab:

I would like to dedicate this website with gratitude to the many people and cats who volunteered to be part of my research surveys. I thank the many grant awarding bodies (see below) and individuals for funding my research in the past and Su Startin and Loretta Bartolucci who, having already enabled the purchase of a splendid microscope, are currently raising much-needed funds for another freezer! Big thanks for recent superb donation to everybody on the Cat-lendar team: Ilaria Isaia for having the ingenious idea; Lorena Migliaccio who did the graphics; Cristina Cattania for taking care of the orders and to Barbara Fruschi who promoted the sales. And another huge thank you goes to Bengals Illustrated for a whopping donation summer 2009.

Thank you to the Devon Rex Breed Club of America for a big donation in April 2006 and the Siamese and Oriental Online Club for raising money in June 2006! Thank you Susanne, for your fundraising website, FIP Support, and the fantastic donations you made in 2005 and 2006!

I am grateful to the Wellcome Trust, Cats Protection, the Robert Daubney Fund of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the Clinical Studies Trust Fund, the Feline Virus Unit for funding my PhD and previous studies of naturally-occurring feline coronavirus infection and FIP. I thank the Morris Animal Foundation for funding a project to attempt to identify unique markers of coronavirus infected cells. I am especially grateful to Pfizer for a generous donation of $25,000 which enabled me to take on an assistant part-time for one year (2004). I am grateful to the Winn Foundation for a grant which allowed 5 months of research into carrier cats in 2003. I am also extremely grateful to the Orion Foundation for moral support (thank you Mel Amundson and Pat Klein), and for a huge donation of almost $13,000 in 2003! Thank you Orion! Many thanks also to individuals and the Scottish, Northern Counties and Yorkshire Cat Clubs who made donations in 2005 and 2003. Thank you to all donors for your generosity. Thank you to Lorraine Twyman and the Norsk Skogkattring for setting up an internet auction (see the lovely certificate they sent). Thank you Dorothy, for your wonderful contribution of getting people to sponsor you during Lent. And last but not least - thank you to the anonymous donors - you know who you are - who have been so very generous.

These are the activities of Dr Addie that you will be supporting by becoming a catvirus.com subscriber:

True democracy is at work on certain websites, where becoming a follower of my channel or upvoting my videos can help further my goal to eradicate feline coronavirus, and end FIP:

During the COVID plandemic, YouTube was guilty of censoring anything that mentioned coronavirus or any treatment they - with zero medical training - deemed "controversial." Therefore some of my work is on other websites than YouTube.

Please note that donations to the EndFIP group or Luca Fund do not fund my research.
