Welcome back to the Golden Whiskers Podcast! This week’s episode is part detective story, part hope-filled healing journey. We’re talking all things FIP—once a death sentence for cats—and how holistic care is offering new hope and healing.
My guest is the amazing Dr. Lisa Fiorenza, a Cornell-trained holistic veterinarian and owner of Dragonfly Holistic Veterinary Care. Not only has she helped over 70 cats recover from FIP, but she also successfully treated her own kitten, Flip, who is now a healthy nine-month-old firecracker.
🐱 What We Cover:
* What FIP is—and why it was once a guaranteed death sentence
* The underground movement that helped save thousands of cats
* How the breakthrough drug GS is finally available (and how to access it)
* Signs to look for and how FIP is diagnosed (even when blood work is normal)
* Why some vets still don’t know about the cure—and what to do if yours doesn’t
* How holistic care supports immune balance, healing, and long-term wellness
* What to feed your cat today to reduce their risk of future illness
* The power of acupuncture, fresh food, and… poop. Yes, poop.
📘 Dr. Lisa’s Recommendations for Cat Owners
🧪 Suspect FIP?→ Reach out to FIP Global Cats for peer and vet support→ Consider a virtual consult with Dr. Lisa via Dragonfly Holistic Veterinary Care
🍽️ Want to feed better without going broke?→ Download her Free Fresh Foods List for Cats (2025) on her site→ Look into brands like Simple Food Project or Medicus (freeze-dried raw)→ Prioritize hydration—ditch the kibble, embrace moisture
🌿 Exploring holistic care?→ Herbs for immune modulation→ Acupuncture for pain relief and organ support→ Microbiome therapy (yes, poop!) for gut and immune health→ Avoid ultra-processed foods with gums, fillers, and artificial additives
💡 Her motto: Fresh food, functional herbs, and feline-informed care.
