Hi Lori, Well I'm in Georgia, so I doubt I'll be much help in placing them. :( I thought you might have got my email from one of the GA rescue groups I'm on.
I think there's a chance that if they were just recently exposed they could fight off the felv. If they were born with it passed to them from their mother their chances of reverting to negative are not as good. I don't know if you know the circumstances involving their whereabouts and if their mother was positive. Several people on the list DO use the Transfer Factor and have had good results. It sounds like you're doing a great job with them. A few list members are in California and might come up with some leads for placement. You might consider going ahead and placing them on interferon. A lot of list members do that. It is not expensive and is easily administered to kittens. It can help prevent upper respiratory infections as well as helping with felv. Not to PRESSURE you or anything, but my 40 'something'best friend from high school that has never even been able to visit my house due to her severe cat allergies and asthma recently found a kitten. After a week of trying to find it a home I got a call that she was taking Allegra and keeping the kitten. lol. I don't know how she's dealing with it, but she is! She's actually enthralled because she's never had a cat before due to her allergies. (She has a house full of dogs and has always disliked cats. lol.) Good luck with your babies, and keep me posted! tonya --- Lori <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Tonya, > > Of all the emails that I've sent out you are the only one who has > taken the > time and shown compassion for my dilemma.
