That's a great idea Nina--you're so right! And, yes, thumbs down to controlling partners. That's why I got my FeLV brood in the first place--the rescuer's husband wouldn't even *let* her keep one out of the 7! And she loved those cats. Feared it would *interfere* with his *leisure time*. (Now I hear they're having their first baby--something that was also decidedly off-limits when I knew them, but hey, accidents happen, right!? He's in for a shock. He'd have been better off allowing her to keep the cats!) :>)

We have a home for the male, but not the female. They have told us that she will be euthanized soon (the end of this week?) if she is not placed. I have contacted a couple other resources but have only gotten a bunch of maybes and we'll sees. So I'm in a tight spot i would like to a least have a definitive back up if the homes we usually place them in do not come through. Can anyone help???
