SOCK FIP's mission is to raise money for research at the UC Davis Center for Companion Animal Health into the cause, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and cure of feline infectious peritonitis - FIP. SOCK FIP team members are also dedicated to disseminating information about FIP that can help cat lovers better understand the disease. |

In 1974, Save Our Cats and Kittens (SOCK) was organized as a nonprofit group. It was founded by cat lovers from the San Francisco Bay Area to aid in much-needed feline leukemia virus (FeLV) research at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. FeLV infection was the cause of death of up to one-third of all sick cats during the 1960s and 1970s.

WHY IS SUPPORT NEEDED NOW? |
|
Although there have been over 500 clinical and research publications on FIP since 1963, solutions to the disease have eluded researchers. However, that situation is now changing: the sequencing of the entire feline genome is almost complete and will provide researchers with a set of tools of unprecedented power to answer some of the important remaining questions about FIP.
