Mike, thank you for your insight!   I printed your e-mail and will keep it on my desk.   Although I haven't had a pet loss in over a year, I do have pets and when that future day comes around when I am, again, in that awful pain I can look at it and be comforted. Thanks. Sally J. Nordstrom

Hi, Jenny. Wisconsin Humane Society will, indeed, euthanize FeLV cats/kittens. They tested a litter I rescued, told me they were positive and asked if I wanted to come and get them or if they should euthanize them. Thanks to this group, I retrieved the kittens. Only one was positive.
