Hi Kristi I will be looking for homes for my felv foster kitties. (See below---I think Nina is probably the only person that already knows this. We had a discussion about why I still describe them as "foster")
One of them, Mickey, is a very cute male (to my eyes, he looks like the feline equivalent of Brad Pitt--same face shape, cute expression, and big eyes!). He's approx 1 year 5 months old, and is neutered. Like all my felv kitties, he's also feral--also like all of them, he hangs around me, but won't let me pet him. I feel that if he had a real home (instead of being confined to the 2nd bedroom), and were separated from the others, he would soon become tame. (I could be wrong of course---I don't have enough experience to really know---it just seems to me as I observe them all that they could so easily become tame in the right situation.) There are 2 reasons I need to find Mickey and his 3 pals homes: first, there's a 50/50 chance I will have to relocate back to Britain, and I legally wouldn't be allowed to take the positive kitties. For the kitties' sake, I don't want to have to scramble to find homes for them if and when it happens; and secondly, they need REAL homes where they can run around like kitties are supposed to, instead of being cooped up in a bedroom. I've already lost Caramel and Levi (who were the same age as Mickey) and it cuts me up that they never had freedom to run around. I don't know if Melissa's Chili & Salsa are male---if they are, and if there were a choice (!), then Melissa's kitties have more priority (tho I think she said, understandably, that she wants to keep them together?). Also, they're probably tame! I know it's NOT going to be easy to find mine homes, and I've been putting it off (I adore the little souls) but I'm going to have to face up to it. So I figured I should put a bid in for Mickey. I'm in Chicago. Whatever happens, it's wonderful to know that an Felv kitty is being actively sought and will get a good home! Thanks for the post, Kristi!

She is an excellent mom and has been adopting felv+ for as long as I can remember. Right now she has 4 girls (all young) and 1 adult male. The male will only accept very young or baby cats, he likes to play foster daddy. Anyway she is looking for specifically a male because of the current ratio, and she hasn't had a baby boy in a while. If anyone know of a felv+ in need of a home, prefferably in the Mass area let me know.
