Right, it's a hard lesson. But I can understand - people do put so
much - too much - trust in vets and organizations that provide care
for pets. It's too bad we can't hold vets/orgs. accountable in some
way. Very sad.

This poor lady. Everyone has options. Just because a vet tells you
something does not make it so. I can think of only a couple of
times you
"have" to surrender an animal and those times involve "vicious"
animals
involved in "attacks" on people.

Subject: Wrongful death of cat
I had to post this because I couldn't believe what I was reading.
It is FIV and not FeLV but still this place is supposed to be a
humane
society and they would treat FeLV in the same way. The message came
from a
lady on the FIV group and it really did sicken me. If anyone wants
to post
her with advice I'll get her email address.
hello,my name is angela and i am new to the group,sadly i join you
under
bad cercumstances.i live in pasadena,texas and just yesterday i
took my 6
month old cat to the houston humane society's wellness clinic to be
tested
and recive his shots.they told me he tested positive for fiv and
that it was
highly contagous and he could not live with it.they said i had to
sign him
over to them to be put to sleep.i cant even begain to tell you how
devistated i was,so reluctintly i gave him to them. later on i was
looking
around on the net and found out this was
not true at all! i even call several vets they all informed me
that i had
many options other than death.now i am even more devistated,why
would the
houmane society do this? they never told me i had other options,had
they i
never would have put him down,i am both heart broken and very mad.i am
trying to find out what action if any i can take to make sure they
