Re: [Felvtalk] Surgery
If onlyeveryone who has a cat or dog would get them spayed/neutered there would not be so many for us to care for. I have heard all kinds of excuses like it costs so much. If they did get their pets spayed/neutered they would not have the work involved in getting rid of them. When a new one shows up here, they get neutered or spayed within 2 weeks after I have found out that they do not belong to anyone. ROBERT CHAPEL wrote: > Hello Everyone...

Re: [Felvtalk] Surgery
HELLO, MY FAULT. I FORGOT TO PUT MY NAME IN THERE. DORLIS GROTE I am lucky that a member of my church is going to take care of my babies while I am in the hospital for the surgery. She is also taking me in and picking me up afterwards. Plus getting groceries and doing any needed laundry after i get home as I will be on limited activity for 2 months, can't even drive. This is one of those things we never think about until it happens and then we need help. Just glad I do not have 28 cats or even Rebecca might balk at caring for that many.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Sheila, my 2 cents- - for me - it's not just spreading the FeLV to others, it the autoimmune problem of not being able to fight off viruses or diseases that they could get from other cats. I have Buddy in our guest room - in a controlled environment- we replaced the door with another re-engineered door. The replacement door bottom panel we replaced with clear plexiglas so he can see the other cats in the house, and the top panel with a screen door screen guard panel for air and to get house sounds. He uses the plexiglas as a drum-especially when he wants attention! I have spent at least 2 hours with him each night for the last 5 years- have my own easy chair and large screen tv :) That's the remedy I came up with so he gets plenty of loving and entertainment- he's probably the healthiest of all the other 14 I have inside! ?Food: no junk food, both wet and no-grain kibble -that includes a variety of brands- and fresh water ?Vaccine: wouldn't touch it - I don't use vaccines unless required by law ?Stress: I keep it as low as possible, that means only vet trips if life & death- can't afford routine visits because we're living on retirement funds ?Pray: a lot Will be praying for Robert too! -g ??
