[Felvtalk] Is this a real legit cure for feline leukemia?
A friend wants to know if this is a real legit cure for FELV. Have you heard about it? http://www.prolabsanimalhealth.com/t-ltci-felineleukemia.aspx ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] Do you know why....
If a cat tests negative for feline leukemia why does the vet recommend a second test in two months? What are the possibilities of the same cat testing positive the second time?

Re: [Felvtalk] new to the list and to FeLV (litter eating)
The cat is eating litter because it's anemic. A cat I rescued used to eat litter too. He would also lick the ground a lot. Then one day he just stopped eating and wouldn't move. I took him to the vet and found out that he was severely anemic and felv+. --- On Sat, 4/17/10, Diane dianeem...@aol.com wrote: From: Diane dianeem...@aol.com Subject: [Felvtalk] new to the list and to FeLV (litter eating) To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010, 9:13 AM Hello I've just joined your list and have what might be an odd, maybe even really odd, question. I looked through the archives a bit but couldn't find a similar thread, so I apologize if there has been and I missed it. I work for a program that provides support (food pantry, vet vouchers, pet wellness clinics, education and in-home care) to folks living with HIV and AIDS to allow them to keep their pets at home with them when the financial and physical constraints of their illness might not otherwise allow them to. A number of our people have FeLV and FIV+ cats and while I'm somewhat familiar with FIV, having a FIV+ cat myself, I know nothing about FeLV and I'd like to learn from the list how to help my members better care for their + cats. I received a call from a client who is concerned about her FeLV cat - Precious has been somewhat more lethargic than usual but, most disturbingly to my client is that she has started, out of the blue, to eat cat litter. She wonders if this is something that FeLV cats do when there is a specific issue going on - is she looking for nutrients she isn't getting? Is she trying to calm some GI, oral, other upset? My first thought with positive cats is to bring them to the vet, but, in this case, my client does not have the resources personally and she has exhausted her benefits through our program. I am working all the places I can think of to try to find her some financial support ultimately, but in the meantime, I wonder if nayone out there has seen this sort of behavior and what it might mean? Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: a little help needed
Hi Michael, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Is your son well? I hope he is. I promise to do all I can to help you and your family. You are a very kind person and GOD rewards those that help others. For all those that don't know about Michael Johnson or Second Chance Meows, let me tell you that Michael is a very kind human being. Last year he took in Snowball - Felv+, the 8th member of his cat family. The very cute white Siamese mix with baby blue eyes. Remember him and/or me? He along with Susan Hoffman helped me start Snowball's fundraiser and arranged transportation. Thanks to Michael, Snowball has a home and a family that loves him very much.

I had a little stash of torb-val syrup on hand and gave that to her Sunday and Monday morning. She had been in renal failure for more than a year but somewhere between Friday night and Saturday morning it looks like she had a stroke. It looked like she was paralyzed on one side of her body. On Saturday she was still drinking water but not eating, on Sunday she did not want water either. I was surprised she was still with us Monday morning, actually raising her head when I came to check on her. She was still present in her body but just barely. I'm sure that it was time to help her to the bridge. I have no idea how stressful a natural death might have been for her. We almost PTS last fall but then some antibiotics and fluids rallied her and she had 6 or 8 really good months, frail though she was. Last fall would have been much too soon but I worry that Sunday would have been better than Monday to PTS. It was a matter of vet availability and cost.

Hello Everyone, Snowball is FeLV+. He is a three year old male with the most beautiful skye blue eyes I have ever seen. Unfortunately, keeping him is not possible because not only am I allergic to cats but my mother and brothers all suffer from asthma. Otherwise, I would not be in the situation I am in with Snowball. I just can't properly care for him. Help him get to his new home, where a loving and caring family is expecting him. Snowball is going to a home based sanctuary called Second Chance Meow. The fundraiser, where you can also read more on Snowball, is set up at: http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2009-08-03.8415646672 Anything is welcome. Thanks.

I will miss him. He has ben accepted to 'Not So' Purrrfect Angels A non-profit humane organization and sanctuary for felines located at 7312 East Church Ave., Fresno, CA 93727. http://www.purrrfectangels.org/index.html Do any of you know about this place?

[Felvtalk] Urgent! FeLV cat -Los Angeles, CA- I need to find him a Sanctuary
I found a cat on my front porch about two weeks ago. When I found him he looked very sick. He did not move nor open his eyes. I took him to the vet and sadly he tested positive for the FeLV virus. He also had a severe case of anemia and needed a blood transfusion quick. He had the blood transfusion, was given medications and is doing much better now. Now, he is playful, active and full of energy. He doesn't look sick at all. He is not fixed ( this is how I found him and the vet said to wait until he is strong enough to neuter him) and I don't know if he has ever been vaccinated, in the case that he had owners before. Keeping the FeLV cat is not possible because I have a cat of my own and she's negative. As a low-income, full-time college student I'm finding it extremely difficult to care for him and provide for him (I don't have the time and money necessary to do so). I already spend all of my college savings on him.Do I regret it? No way! I would do it again. I just can't keep this up because I don't have the means necessary to do so. He needs high-quality food and I don't have enough to buy for two pets. I'm having trouble feeding my own cat now. Also, I don't have a cage to keep him in and the wood house I made for him is not secure nor to his liking. He has escaped before and GOD knows where he goes. What if he catches another disease or infects other cats. I've asked for help and have contacted animal shelters to borrow a cage, for free food, etc, but I need so much that some can't help me or can only help with very little. I appreciate all that I have been given but the cat still needs more. I'm still looking for a cage. Friends and family say that I took on a huge responsibilty that I shouldn't of but now I'm involved and I have no choice but to find this kitty a new, nice and safe home. I can't abandon him now. I will not do this. I have been looking for a sanctuary in CA that takes in FeLV cats but all are full and others have not gotten back to me yet. Who knows if they ever will. Please help with any place that might be able to assist this cat and me. I named him Kitto and he is so loving and playful. He needs a place to call his home. Please help him. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
