[Felvtalk] off subject but feline
Jean Feraca of WI public radio uses a word unremembered by me which describes people unknown to each other involved in a work on behalf of God. The recent Purina Rally to Rescue magazine featured an article Loved and Found about volunteers using animal allies to find strayed beloveds. with that . . . Rheis, a petite, long-haired talkative tortie had lived outside for some months. Sherry fed this cat who had arrived in the rough neighborhood by unknown means. Peggy Satterwhite of Vance County SPCA and I trapped this likely-to-be pregnant cat on March 5. Rheis came home with me. Rheis went to SNAP - NC and was aborted and spayed; we visited the vet, visited Sherry who was certain she did not want Rheis as a dependent, and visited the Wake County SPCA who put Rheis on their waiting list for their adoption center. Rheis lives with us in a one bedroom apartment - - separated for health reasons - - from the heart of the home i.e Scrumptious and Mama and Pookashay and Shallie Marie and Luscious. There is usually a temporary, non-paying feline house guest in what seems to be a convalescent center. Karin who lives in the same apartment building as we but on the back side and above ground level wanted Rheis to meet Toby. Toby, her 14 year-old rescue, might be willing to have an additional housemate. Karin picked up Rheis Saturday afternoon. No fur flew. I went up late in the afternoon to pick up Rheis before Karin left for mass. Rheis wanted no part of being caught. I left and revisited after Karin's return. Rheis was much more social now. She moved back and forth from the cat-safe patio where Toby was hanging out. She allowed herself to be petted. The revised plan was that Rheis would spend the night. She had been sharing food and the litter box. 11:17 p.m. call from Karin. Rheis had exited the patio to the ground. I dressed and went to . . .Karin had spoken to a visitor who went for a flashlight. (the vistior called me by name, recalling an incident with a kitten at the dialysis center). The visitor saw eyes staring back at her from the dark woods. Karin and the visitor went into the woods. Harold and James, the outside ferals, knew something was going on and monitored the activities. Toby was talking from the patio. Rheis had shown herself to be tame with a big motor. She lived in a double cage unreachable to her housemates and at night in the bathroom. No Rheis. I went home and turned out my heart. Yahmuna (FIV+) and I went to bed. I pondered what I was going to say to the SPCA and search strategy for Sunday. 12:46 p.m. I heard a meow at the door and opened to see Rheis and Mama. I put Yahmuna into her bedroom and went back and opened the door and Rheis came in. I called Karin. Rheis had never been outdoors at my home . . . had lived the free life of an outdoor cat. HOW AND WHY? Karin is a woman of great faith. cz ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] FeLV+ Kitty in GENESCO, IL needs rescue
Geneseo IL: Darling Palmyra leukemia positive cat NEEDS A SPECIAL HOME! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e-sS5h3nw3o/T3jxHCeHr2I/r4g/m17MmrfQ8so/s1600/DSCN3977.JPG *When Palmyra's family moved they dumped her outside to fend for herself* ** http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vKojhtU33mg/T3jxeqyFvjI/r44/mbrtvdDpx0Y/s1600/DSCN3984.JPG ** **http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SDha3SzxfXI/T3jxWdFGZLI/r4w/jBIyJwbnCMg/s1600/DSCN3981.JPG *Can anyone help Palmyra? She is an absolutely outstanding cat. She is about 1 1/2 years old, long hair brown/gray, VERY FRIENDLY, VERY AFFECTIONATE, completely vetted. Unfortunately Palmyra has one problem – she is leukemia positive. She will have to be in a home without other cats (unless they are leukemia positive too). She is a perfect cat and would make a great addition to the life of the person lucky enough to adopt her. Leukemia is contagious to other cats but not people and not dogs. Cats can live for many years with leukemia. Palmyra had a family but they moved and left her to fend for herself by just dumping her outside to fend for herself. Her short life has not been real good so far.* **http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lgtPyr-pxD8/T3jxOobekKI/r4o/4d7f9kJNXoI/s1600/DSCN3979.JPG *If you can rescue Palmyra, or know of a rescue that takes leukemia positive cats, please contact Kathy Madara at mad...@theinter.com Transport is available. Thank you.* ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] eye issues
Hi there. Oliver had an eye infection that was treated successfully about a month ago. Last Thursday, he and another one of my cats had dentals. All seemed to go well, Today, I noticed that one of his eyes looked off He has these huge blue Siamese eyes so you notice when something is weird. I can't quite describe it, but it seems like his pupils look like there are spots of blue from the blue part of his eyes in there on the edge, if that makes sense. He is eating ok and of course isn't going to let me get as good of a look at it his eyes as I want to. I plan on calling the vet first thing tomorrow morning. I wonder if he has some kind of delayed reaction to the anesthesia? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks, Holly ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] eye issues
One of our cats at about age 7 or 8, started having spots on his eye, and they were moving around. Sometimes they look like a lot less, other times more. Eye was checked, it was nothing to worry about and doesn't at all interfere with his vision. He will be 17 yrs old in July. Spook's eyes are dark amber and spots are brown. Since your cat has blue eyes, and spots are blue, it could be the same thing. I would still have it checked, because no two things are ever the same.
