Respectfully Patrica, I could not agree less. A positive result does not mean
death is imminent. A healthy cat can suddenly become ill - just like people -
does that mean that cat should be euthanized? This is a what if scenario.
You have done marvelous things in placing all of those cats.
The shelter where I volunteer is a no kill shelter unless the cat tests
positive for Feline Leukemia or Feline Aids. If they do, they are immediately
euthanized. That day. ?? What I'd like to do is to convince them to give me a
few days to see if I can find anyone who will adopt these cats
I agree 100% with Anita, we live in a world where more and more
people become less responsible, less humane and less caring about
anything *but* themselves. Until that changes nothing else will.

The few of us out there make some difference and of course we have to
keep struggling on but it is a shame what is happening to the majority
of human kind.

Do they hold and re-test? Cats with FIV can live a normal lifespan.
Ethically, killing cats who test initially positive or even confirmed positive
but who are not suffering is wrong on so many levels. Maybe they need to look
up the definition of euthanasia.
We had a Cat Management

nope. Cats with FeLV+ can live a normal lifespan altho' I realize it isn't
common. But they don't retest. They test once and that's it.

The cats in the shelter where I volunteer are not feral.? They are/were
someone's pets, at least they appear to have been around humans during the time
as kittens when they adapt to human interaction.? Some were dropped, and some
are brought in.? But if the cat is FeLV+ the shelter won't
I have to say that my FIV cat lived 6 years after his diagnosisand none of
my other twelve indoor cats ever contracted it. Also, Spike lived a very
healthy life until the last couple of days...I wouldn't trade anything for the
time we had.
I take care of a feral colony, also...all TNR'ed
As I type this, my male Scottie is lying flat on his back (legs
straight up) in a pool of sunshine. My Felv+ cat
is sitting on his chest washing her face. It is moments like these
when I thank god that my vet was conscious and
knew that this sick kitten stood a chance. That was two years ago
