>From my contact: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - We only have one FIV+ cat so far [note from Jenn: no FELV+ yet]. And he is a hoss!! Weighs 18 pounds. Beautiful boy. Black and White, VERY VERY scared. I have pictures, but will not have time to download til Sunday. He is very cool boy.
We hope that Rehnee will keep surrendering the cats to her trusted rescue. We are testing every cat. No way around it, cost or not. Now the story will be very different if the shelter seizes them. I just hope that they will let other rescue groups intervene. That could go bad, very bad. I see a big kill if that happens. It just scares me to even think about it. You could possibly find FeLV homes also?? I do not know anyone who can/will take them. I am a few others are not afraid of FIV. But if you could get some connections for the Leuk, please!! Hey, I would like to see more info on how contagious the FeLV is. I would love to see that it is not so bad. Yes, I know not to mix the FeLV with anyone. We are trying to get fosters for all, running out. I will set up cages before I will let them be killed. And if we do have to euth, it will be the humane way, I assure you. There are a few groups working on this. Unfortunately, this is the busy kitten season... sigh.. of course. We do have a couple of adoption places that can take 1-2 cats each. Hopefully we can keep the rest in foster care, you know. We will figure out a way. A website for positive cats, how cool. THANK YOU!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Can you guys send me all of the best webpages you have on the facts of FELV and it's contagiousness? I know there is new info out there that says it is not as contagious as once thought, but I'm running out of research time, and I have a date tonight. I need as much positive info about FELV as I can find to send to this lady, she really wants to help, but is of the older thinking of FELV being a death sentence and always requiring quarantine. She needs info to give to possible fosters so they wont be so scared of FELV.
