Hey Tad, Thanks for the advice. Maybe in the future that will be an option. I know I am not ready right now to take in another kitty. We have three inside (my two original ones + one of my dad's) and 7 outside/garage. My husband would have a fit if I brought another one home right now. Plus, I am not sure it would be fair to new kitty if I don't have the financial means to care for their FeLV symptoms, you know? But Cricket was my only FeLV and he was so dear to me, so you are right about them being special kitties. I knew there was always something different about him even from when he was little.
I will keep this in mind for the future. Kitties are always coming in and out of my life, it seems, whether I want them to or not. lol.
