I know.. I have been rescuing cats for 7 years and never had the problem until just now recently.. and obviously I am so disturbed by this and feeling guilty so much.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Hoffman Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 3:42 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Treatment for Seizures: Dharma   >From a rescue standpoint that doesn't come up that often.  Usually you get cats from an array of geographical areas.  If you're working on specific feral colonies or do purebreed rescue and get breeder dumps, you may see it but with shelter pulls you don't see closely related cats except for a litter of kittens.

So it's entirely possible that your area has a very NON-diverse breeding cat population, and so most of the rescues you get are from the same bloodlines. Not helpful info at all, I know, but it could explain why you are getting it so much there.
