Re: [Felvtalk] Bridge Addition- Shaft
Tonya, You were very lucky to have had Shaft for 15 years although I know if we had them for 30 years it would not seem long enough. I can feel your grief right now because I had to have my Mickey put down two weeks ago tomorrow. He'd had malignant tumors removed twice and they had come back and apparently had spread to his liver. I had him for 8 1/2 years and he was about 7 mos old when I found him. I still miss him so much it hurts. And up until the tumors showed up in October he had a good life. So if I had had him euthanized as the vet suggested I would have missed out on the most wonderful cat of my life. I know he is now in heaven with my dad and they are both cancer free and having a ball. You are in my thoughts and prayers Tonya.

I've had 2 very sick (felv -) kitties. On Tuesday I had to have my big boy Shaft euthanized. He had hyperthyroid, lymphoma, etc... He lived 15 years with me and I don't know how old he was when I pulled him from the shelter, but he was old. My other sick cat (Bob) is doing well with his crf for now. It seems like my positive cat (knock on wood) is my healthiest cat. lol. It just goes to show you what a shame it is that people put down cats for being positive. I'm sorry for any losses I've not responded to. I know how you feel. :( tonya ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] Hurts to say no.
My vet just called me about a little kitty with anemia that was just diagnosed positive for FeLV. The owner wants her euthanized. My vet thinks it may be a hemobart situation and she could have a chance. He asked me if I would take her and I had to say no. I have two positives and five negatives now and hubby is at his limit. I still feel so sad for this little kitty. The place where I volunteer is the only place around that takes positive cats and I know they are over capacity now. :( Sue ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Hurts to say no.
It is so sad Sue. It is especially sad that her owner will not give her a chance. Maybe your vet will find a place for her. Sending some angels your way.
