Re: FIV resources

I placed an FIV+ cat, Charlie from the shelter where I volunteered, through one of the online FIV lists. The woman who took him has 12 or 13 FIV+ cats. We had to get him from MA to VA, and she picked him up there (she lives in TN).  So it is possible. It's difficult, though. Michelle   In a message dated 6/2/2006 2:30:06 A.M.
