Re: [Felvtalk] Duncan is gone
Laura, I am so sorry for your loss. tonya Laura Mostello [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sadly, I had to have Duncan euthanized last night. He was suffering from a URI and getting Clavamox, and the URI was clearing up, but he was still sluggish. On Sunday night he seemed disoriented, and was crying as if he was in a lot of pain. I rushed him to the emergency vet and then to my regular vet Monday morning. The vet called me at 5:30 as I was driving home from work to get Duncan's food and told me that he thought Duncan was very close to dying. Test results had showed Hemobartonella and he was fading fast. We talked about possible treatments but Dr Leathers felt that it would be best, and kindest, to put him down. He deteriorated so quickly - just a couple of days ago he was eating and walking around. Unfortunately, I assumed he just wasn't 100% because of the URI. I will not make that mistake again. He has never shown any symptoms in the year that I've had him. My other two positives, who lived with him, are fine, but I'm going to have them checked out at the vet next week. I lost my 18 year old cat last Monday so this hasn't been a very good past couple of weeks for me.

Re: [Felvtalk] ADMIN: testing
All is well here. Just spending a lot of quality time with Snowball this weekend. Usually on weekends I work harder than I do at my regular job, but not this labor day weekend. I thought of something funny this morning. When we lost Boo and I thought we'd never recover, I sneakily started to plan a short time later to do everything I could to adopt Snowball, a rescued persian who had been abused and neglected. When I finally told my husband I was selected to be her mom he wasn't exactly happy until he saw her the day we picked her up. He was immediately in love with her. I had hoped she would be my girl because the male cats we had owned, including Boo, always seemed to favor my husband and son. Snowball started out being my little baby but like the rest of them seems to have become her dad's girl. I don't get it. They all have loved me but when it's a choice of a lap to sit on, it's Bob's first then mine.

[Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
Hi guys, I'm very sad today. We had made arrangements to pull a blind cat and a cat with a cleft palate (the kitty with the cleft palate's mom went into a nursing home). We were supposed to pick them up today. The shelter rescue coordinator called and told us they had accidentally been killed two days ago. Apparently this shelter's policy is to immediately kill all handicapped kitties. I still don't understand how you can accidentally kill a cat - these cats were safe - they had rescue - and they were still killed.

The Humane Society in Louisville did the same thing to a wonderful little dog named Jackson. They knew I wanted him and that I was coming to get him that afternoon. One worker called to confirm and tell me Jackson was waiting. A while later another one called and told me they had killed him because he had distemper.my vets had worked with this disease and had cured it in lots of dogs. Treatment was intense and expensive but I had the ability to cope with that. Then the person who called offered to help me with another dog. Jackson had captured my heart. I had visited him at Feeders' Supply (where they take animals to encourage their adoption) three days in a row to make sure I wanted a dog. It broke my heart.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
Lack of communication, and people not caring about their jobs. We had a similar situation this week at the shelter where I work. A resident was missing a dog, but she saw him on Petfinder so she knew he was at the shelter. She called us on Monday to let us know that she'd be coming to pick up the dog on Tuesday, since we're closed to the public on Mondays. My idiot co-worker who answered the phone not only refused to let the woman pick up the dog on Monday, she never even bothered to let our director know that the dog would be reclaimed the next day. Needless to say, the family came to retrieve their dog at 10 am Tuesday, but the dog had been euthanized just a couple of hours before. I wasn't there on Monday, by the way, and that would NOT have happened if I had been the one to pick up that phone call. And sometimes even having a verbal committment from a rescue does no good. I'll never forget Dixie, a big longhaired tortie we had last summer. She was scheduled to be pulledbut I couldn't save her even though I insisted that rescue was coming. I'm so sorry that happened. I know how horrible it feels when you try so hard to get them out and something gets screwed up.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
Your grief is much fresher than mine. It is not necessary to meet an animal to love it. I am amazed that some of these shelters are so careless with the lives of sick/challenged animals. How awful for the original caretaker too. First to be put in a nursing home then to have your friends killed for no reason. On Aug 30, 2008, at 8:26 PM, Kelley Saveika wrote: I'm sorry Marylyn.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (nonFELV)
Stories like this hurt my heart. What passes for our local humane society (It's privately owned, an Inc.) has a horrendous kill rate and hideously exacting standards for adoption, which is a really bad combination. I had two really bad experiences, years apart, trying to adopt from them, emerging petless, angry and humiliated, and later several other people I talked to said they had had similar experiences, and I've heard the same kind of story about them as what happened to this poor lady's dog. This place has totally lost sight of what's supposed to be the Mission, reuniting lost pets with their owners and uniting abandoned pets with loving new owners. The people there seem to be on power trips to make adopters and owners of lost pets jump through as many hoops as possible. I work with lawyers, so I know plenty about people going on power trips, but it's so different when there are little lives at stake. May Dixie and the doggie rest in peace.

We had a similar situation this week at the shelter where I work. A resident was missing a dog, but she saw him on Petfinder so she knew he was at the shelter. She called us on Monday to let us know that she'd be coming to pick up the dog on Tuesday, since we're closed to the public on Mondays. My idiot co-worker who answered the phone not only refused to let the woman pick up the dog on Monday, she never even bothered to let our director know that the dog would be reclaimed the next day. Needless to say, the family came to retrieve their dog at 10 am Tuesday, but the dog had been euthanized just a couple of hours before. I wasn't there on Monday, by the way, and that would NOT have happened if I had been the one to pick up that phone call. And sometimes even having a verbal committment from a rescue does no good. I'll never forget Dixie, a big longhaired tortie we had last summer. She was scheduled to be pulledbut I couldn't save her even though I insisted that rescue was coming. I'm so sorry that happened. I know how horrible it feels when you try so hard to get them out and something gets screwed up.

We had made arrangements to pull a blind cat and a cat with a cleft palate (the kitty with the cleft palate's mom went into a nursing home). We were supposed to pick them up today. The shelter rescue coordinator called and told us they had accidentally been killed two days ago. Apparently this shelter's policy is to immediately kill all handicapped kitties. I still don't understand how you can accidentally kill a cat - these cats were safe - they had rescue - and they were still killed.
