Hello. I'm new to this list, so if I make a mistake, please let me know. I was referred here for help with the following situation:We took in an felv cat 3 weeks ago because a man had brought him to our local vet's (close to Atlanta, GA) with a story about how he was coming into his yard. He wanted an appointment for a check-up, shots, etc. He handed the cat to the receptionist and went out to his car to "get his wallet". Then he drove away, never to be seen again. The receptionist called us because we are big cat people, and some of the other workers at her offcie were talking about calling animal control to come take him away. We said yes, we'd take him in.In the meantime, she had him tested, and he came up positive. The policy at this vet's is automatic euthanasia. I told her to stop them--I would find him placement somehow. They almost didn't let us take him out of there, but finally relented.So here we are 3 weeks later. He is living in our basement, healthy as a horse, but lonely. We had him fixed, got him his shots, and now need only to find him a home. He cries for us to come down and spend time with him. We come down as often as possible, but since we have a whole houseful of felines upstairs that require many hours of care, it's difficult. Obviously, this is no way for him to live.If anyone out there is considering taking in a second cat, or maybe taking on another after a loss, please let us know. This cat is adorable, and is a wonderful companion. You can see his picture by clicking on the links below.Thanks for listening!Pictures:
