Remember our previous post regarding the differences between Kiseneko and other brands (BasmiFIP, Nulife, etc)? In the post, we have explained the reason our brand is relatively cheaper compared to other brands available in Malaysia. You can read the post here.
Now that we are getting noticed helping more cat parents with FIP cats in Malaysia, the brand that has monopolised the market for more than 2 years has finally decided to drastically reduce their price. This has proven our point that they have been selling their products at ridiculous prices as they were the only supplier, and cat parents have no choice but to purchase FIP treatment from them to save their beloved cat.
This is good news for all FIP cat owners as now they have more options for the FIP treatment of their cat. However, the question is, did the price adjustment come too late? If new brands never exist, these profit oriented companies will continue to exploit FIP cat parents that are already in unfortunate circumstances. They are only driven by profit and do not have real intention to help FIP cats in the country. If they were to be sympathetic of FIP cats, they would have offered the medicine at a much fairer price from the beginning. But the truth is, they have only decided to reduce the price because they acknowledge the truth and now they feel their position is threatened by other brands that really intend to help.
Imagine how many more FIP cats in the past 2 years could have been saved if the brand had offered the price more fairly in the beginning. Imagine how many cats have been lost and given up because their cat parents could not afford the treatment. Imagine how many cat parents have to lose their life savings to the ridiculous costs to save their cats. Now that we have decided to provide the medicine at a reasonable price to help FIP cat parents, only have they decided to adjust their price. Little did they know, the damage has been done, and it's too late to remedy the condition. The lives that are lost, are lost, forever.
