Silvia Kucherenko (43) is dealing with a big blow. She suddenly lost a beloved family member, the cat Ynes. She shared her pain with her followers on social media. “You were the most beautiful kitty in the world, the sweetest… I have no words… I miss you so much. Today you left forever,” wrote the bereaved blonde on Friday.
Fans expressed their sincere condolences and sympathized with her. Many of them were interested in what caused the sudden death of the four-legged pet, which Kucherenko took excellent care of. “She had feline coronavirus which mutated into FIP. Those who have cats know. Well, we figured it out too late. I did everything for her. I took her to Vienna, to the best clinic. And I didn’t think about how much it would cost. It was terribly expensive,” she said, her voice shaking.
Vets revealed the diagnosis just five days before Ynes’ death. “In Bratislava, they didn’t figure out what was wrong with her until 5 days ago in Vienna, but it was already too late. Maybe if she had been diagnosed correctly here in Bratislava, she might have survived,” added Kucherenko, who does not hide her anger and indignation.
FIP stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis. It is a disease that is a nightmare for all owners, as treatment is expensive and not always easy to get. The Czech follower Kucherenko, whose cat won the battle with the disease, also knows her own story. In the message she sent to Silvia, she was surprised that the Slovak veterinarians did not figure it out from the results of the blood tests.
The blonde responded publicly to her words. “Yes, the clinic in Bratislava neglected care and routine diagnostics, yet it cost me €1,500 in BA, €500 in Brno and €5,000 in Vienna. If I have to, I will publish the name of the clinic publicly. For now, I want and have the will to settle out of court,” brought up shocking bills that most cat owners could not afford to pay.
Kucherenko added that they caused her family damage that cannot even be described. “Ynes was valued, loved and very well cared for. The chauffeur drove them to Geneva in my new Range Rover with maximum comfort. Father went with them in the car, took care of food, water and toilet, and then I bought the chauffeur a ticket home. Indeed, I will take this negligence on the part of the clinic in Bratislava very seriously.” she emphasized.
According to her own words, she alerted veterinarians in the capital several times about infectious peritonitis. “They said it’s not FIP. Total amateurism. In Vienna, they confirmed it to me in just 3 hours. In Bratislava, they had a month to do it and nothing. They didn’t even test it, despite a strong call from the clinic in Brno! Amateurs!” rages Kucherenko.
