I have found it is easier to locate resources on the Pets 911 website if rather than clicking on the Veterinarians or Spay/Neuter links, click instead on Find Rescues and Shelters and check out their services as some offer low cost spay/neuter under "services" Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 16:47:48 -0400From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: spay/neuter resourcestry www.neuterspay.org under low-cost resources. database is huge so takes awhile to load; it's not totally up-to-date because i haven't been on top of it, but at the time, it was THE most accurate in the country. (that said, no sooner had i entered a program than the info changed..... or the program got cancelled.... sigh.)gloria, check and see if yours are listed.....MC On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 5:40 AM, Sharyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Anita. I have heard back from both and neither have a vet in my area. Will just start saving up money and pursue finding sponsors for the kitties.

Well, hope you find something a lot less than $100 per. gloria On Apr 3, 2008, at 4:07 AM, Pat Kachur wrote: Does Spay USA have a branch in your state? In Georgia (Spay Georgia), one can purchase certificates which allow a huge discount at participating vets. They send a list of those vets when they send your certificates. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharyl To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 9:02 PM Subject: Re: Introducing Sissy and Rocket Thanks Gloria. So far it looks like the best I'm going to be able to do on the neutering is $100. There is a chance the Tidewater SPCA Neuter Scooter will come over to the Eastern Shore and I could save $25. I can afford to care for the 2 I have rescued. I'll have to work on colony one cat at a time as my budget allows. I am trying to recruit local sponsors to help with the cost. Local SPCA doesn't believe in TNR for ferals. I just don't want to have to tell the vet anything when I bring in a colony kitty.

Would be nice if you could find a low-cost spay neuter clinic, or a free service, to help fund the neutering. RE your question about telling the vet, I don't know. If 2 are positive, still doesn't mean all the others are, although of course there's a chance. Any vet should be aware that if the kitty hasn't been tested, there's a potential for FELV or FIV. Neutering is the key to preventing the spread of this, as I understand. Least my take on it. Hope you find a good option for low cost or free neutering.

On their 1st vet visit both tested FeLV+. I will have both retested the end of April to see if they are still positive. I have them quarantined in my garage. They are eating Iams canned kitten food supplemented with a Super B Complex, Lactoferrin and DMG. So far they are responding well and seem very healthy. Both have had their kitten shots and been wormed. If they stay positive I will either find a forever home for them or build an enclosure onto the garage for them. I have 2 indoor kitties and one has CRF so am concerned about bringing them into the house. My questions concern the rest of the colony which includes at least 4 adults. I can not take all of them in. My plan had been to TNR the colony (trap/neuter/release). The vet is recommending euthanizing the entire colony if these 2 stay positive. I am not sure where I will be able to get then neutered if they are positive. And I can not trap them just to have them euthanized. That may be the best thing to do but I just can't do it. Is there any info on how to deal with a FeLV+ feral colony? Any advise on how to get them neutered? Am I obligated to tell the vet about the potential for FeLV when having them neutered?
