Although I have not pulled from this shelter, I have pulled from Georgia
(outside Atlanta) before and have some contacts down south.
If you want some contact info., I can forward you the info.
It is so heartbreaking. Too, too sad.

Sandy,when I first found out my Maizee had felv I also found out she had a huge lymphoma that was crushing her airway and she couldn't swallow her food without regurgitating it first.As soon as we found out about the lymphoma they put her on chemo treatments and within 3 days she was breathing and
I think vaccinations areESSENTIAL for your negatives. When bringing in an adult, EVEN IF THEY TEST NEGATIVE, I always vaccinate, wait 3 weeks, vaccinate again, wait 3 weeks, then mix them. This is not foolproof because the cat I'm bringing in could have the virus in the bone marrow, been recently
Prayers of course coming for you, Hideyo, and Hannibal.My sister has an 18 year old dog with teeth problems. The vet says the problem with the sedation is fear that it could stop the heart. I don't know. It's getting worse, so I think they are going to have to take the risk for her as well.
I agree. I would release back to the colony UNLESS this cat shows signs of taming down, in which case I would try to place it in a home. If it is still truly feral I would release. Feral cats are tough. If this cat is positive, the colony has already been exposed.Is someone caring/feeding this
I would be willing to help pay legal fees as well if it comes to that. Hideyo, you are too nice. Let your boyfriend help you!Also, you already know Hideyo, that I worry about you taking in more than you can handle. When this is all over I would really like to see you incorporate and get a

I am also fascinated by whiskers!
My sweet little Cricket has slightly curled

My Miss loves hers stroked.

Hi James! You're such a wonderful caretaker. Just wanted to post a

Steph,
big belly yep that sounds like worms...

I just started volunteering for a felv and fiv rescue,and it is very rewarding knowing that I am helping these sweet beautiful animals to be happy and loved while they are here.The conditions of the place is pretty good,there are workers there to clean litter boxes and change water and dry food
Roundworms are VERY common.
Could be hookworm too.Or pinworms.
Pot belly , yep, a definite sign of worms.
Apparently he ingested something with the larvae, the rest is
history...
Does he go outdoors??? He could have gotten them from hunting/catching
"prey", or just picked them up on his

but if they have one type of worm they can have more.
different wormers take care of different parasites.

I highly recommend getting the diagnosis and trying chemo if it is

Prognosis is relative. Yes, if he has lymphoma, he probably will not live
out the year. But he could, with chemo. And it could be the difference of him
having only a few weeks without it (lymphoma goes very fast) or a few months or
more with it. My two who had it without chemo went three
