Why This Website Exists
For those of us who created this site, FIP arrived the way it arrives for everyone: suddenly, with a diagnosis nobody expected and a storm of questions for which there were no clear answers in Spanish.
A website born of fear and a lack of information
What we found worried us. The information available was scattered, in English, or came from websites with a direct commercial interest in the products they recommended. Facebook groups where the information was valuable but hard to filter. English-language forums not everyone can read. And in the Spanish-speaking world, a striking gap in rigorous, up-to-date and impartial information.
We decided to build what did not exist. A website in Spanish, and also in English, with information checked against the available scientific evidence and reviewed regularly.
We cite our sources
Every clinical claim on this site references published peer-reviewed research or established veterinary guidelines. We distinguish clearly between established evidence and emerging data.
We are not vets
We are cat owners and FIP advocates, not veterinary professionals. We consistently recommend professional veterinary involvement. Our information is educational, not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
We update as knowledge evolves
FIP treatment is a rapidly evolving field. We commit to updating our content as new research emerges, new treatment options become available, and community experience accumulates.
Who we are
We are a small team of cat lovers. In 2019 we had a cat with FIP, we moved heaven and earth and spoke with Dr. Pedersen at the University of California, Davis, who helped us cure him. We are PIF Warriors España. What unites us is that we have had cats with FIP. All of us have been through the desperate search for information. We are not vets: we are informed owners who work with volunteer vets so that what this site says is medically sound.
Our values
Impartiality
Where there is scientific debate, we present it as debate. Where the evidence is clear, we say so clearly.
Scientific rigour
We work from studies published in peer-reviewed journals, from protocols developed by specialist vets, and from the data the FIP community has accumulated. Where the literature is unclear, we say that too.
Empathy
We know what an FIP diagnosis feels like. This site speaks to owners as what they are: people who love their cats and deserve honest, understandable information.
Community
Individual information matters, but a community of owners supporting each other has a value no article can replicate. That is why we encourage connection between owners and link to the most active support communities.
Our relationship with FIP Warriors
We are PIF Warriors España.
Content errors or corrections
We do our best to be accurate, but medical information is complex and evolving. If you believe something on this site is incorrect, outdated, or misleading, please contact us. We take corrections seriously and update content promptly.
El pif tiene cura is an educational information resource. We are not vets and we do not provide veterinary medical advice. Everything we share is for educational purposes and is no substitute for consulting a qualified vet. FIP must always be diagnosed and treated under professional supervision.
