Subject: [PurringPixieCatResource] 4 sweet leukemia kitties in a
desperate situation
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I am in desperate need of help for 4 sweet kitties who are positive
for FELV. I worked as a vet tech in Oklahoma City for 6 years.
During that time, I saw a lot of animals put to sleep that could
have lived long, healthy lives. I could not bear to see these 4
sweet leukemia cats be put to death who were not sick, they just
tested positive for leukemia. So, I took them home with me to keep
them from being euthanized. I also have other cats who are not
leukemia positive. I gave these leukemia cats a large bedroom
where they have been living for the past couple of years.
The problem I have now was totally unavoidable and unplanned. I
became pregnant with quadruplets, and I had enormous problems
throughout the pregnancy. I was hospitalized for 77 days, I went
into labor starting at 18 weeks. My 4 beautiful daughters were
born incredibly premature, and 3 of them died. I have one
surviving daughter who is on oxygen and suffers from respiratory
distress syndrome, she also has bronchio-pulmonary disease and
requires a heart monitor 24 hours a day, and she also has partial
liver failure and brittle bones. She spent 3 months in the
hospital, too, and has recently been released. I lost my job
during all of this, and I cannot go back to work because she cannot
go to daycare with her medical problems. We are now losing our
house. I have found places for all of my cats to go except the
leukemia cats, and I cannot take them with me to the inlaws'
house. I have not had any luck in finding a place for these sweet
leukemia cats to go. I cannot allow them to be put to sleep. I
think it is just wrong. I love these cats very much and they
deserve to go to a place where they will be loved and not put to
death. If anyone can help these kitties, please let me know as
soon as possible. We do not have the money to stay in this house
and we are quickly running out of time and options. (We are in
Oklahoma City.)
Jennifer
