Oh honey, go ahead and ramble away! It sounds like you've got you're
hands full fighting the good fight. Who are you going to vent to
except those of us that care just as deeply? I'm sorry about the
little felv+ that didn't make it and pleased to hear about the one that
seems to be bouncing back despite the odds. You must be one great cat
caregiver! That poor feral Momma may not be positive. Life on the
street, as I'm sure you know, can be so hard on these little angels.
Unfortunately sickly kittens are not that unusual under the
circumstances, and so many, even healthy seeming kittens born on the
street, don't make it through their first year. That poor Momma must
be so worn out! Keep good thoughts, I'll be sending prayers and good
thoughts your way as well. Let us know if you find her kittens and
when you finally catch her.
Bless you for all you do,
Nina

I'm in Dayton, OH. Two of
the adults are asymptomatic and healthy as can be. One was a light
positive so I'm praying that a retest will be negative. I originally pulled two adults, one who is still
with me and recovering from a ton of infections and slowing improving.
Sadly the other little guy had a ruptured bladder and it was too late
for him. All of these cats came from the same home, where there were
other cats that tested negative.
There is
another female on the property who recently had a litter (3 weeks) in a
garage. She is a purely feral though and I can't locate the kittens.
The garage is a maze and I don't want to trap her yet in case I can't
find the babies. From what I've been told, she is has been around for
at least 6 years and had litter upon litter, most who die or that look
miserable. She herself looks terrible and I have a sick feeling she is
positive as well.
Sorry to
ramble, but thank you for asking.

Awww Tad,
BLESS
YOU!!! I wish there were more people out there like you! I have 3
adult FeLV+ and a whole litter of 8 week old kittens in rescue that
need homes. Sometimes it seems like an impossible feat to find them
homes, but seeing messages like this make my day.
Purrs
and headbutts from the whole clan here!

RE: URGENT-Bert needs HELP!!
Tad-you're
amazing. Not only would Switters love it—the old guys would probably
love for him to have somebody else to play with—I'm sure they'd be
happy refereeing and watching!
I bet Switters would like
a young boy.. Switters is almost a year old and super active...
Don't let him be euthanized... If no one else will take him and he can
get to Vermont
we can make space here...

URGENT-Bert needs HELP!!
Bert is a very sweet
FeLV+ kitty who is almost a year old. He is scheduled to be euthanized
soon-he needs help ASAP!! He has been looking for a home since he was
two months old. Here is his story:
PLEASE HELP BERT!!! HE IS
IN DIRE STRAITS!! Bert is a very sweet, friendly little guy who has
tested positive for feline leukemia. Cats with leukemia can still have
a good life, and we hope that this will be the case for poor little
Bert. He currently appears to be in very good health. He is very
playful and affectionate, and is DESPERATELY seeking a home. Bert has
been fully vaccinated and neutered. If you would like to give this
sweet little boy a chance to live a good life, please send an e-mail
and request an application, or call the shelter. Don't pass him by and
think that someone ELSE will surely adopt him-LET IT BE YOU!!!! Bert
was adopted last year along with his FeLV+ friend Jill by a woman who
turned out to be bi-polar, and he was returned to the shelter. His
best friend Jill was soon adopted out again, leaving Bert behind. Bert
is scheduled to be euthanized soon-PLEASE help him!!
