Just thought I'd "re-forward" this in case you couldn't see the attachment message. Can anybody take these FELV babies (presently in Kansas City) or transport to Arkansas? Gloria

Hello Susan! Thank you for considering Crash (the Brit SH) and Bill Murray (who is a Birman instead of Siamese). They are both HIGHLY social and loving. Bill is almost annoying, he's so sweet! And Crash has this itty bitty "wussy" meow. Cracks me up! Okay, here's the Background. Crash came into rescue a year and ahalf ago, (about a year old). Tested Negative at that time. Was in 2 different foster homes the 1st 6mths, placed out on an adoption for about 4mths and came back in in the spring (April or May, I've had him since). At that time, we discovered a FeLeuk outbreak in one of his 1st foster homes. He was retested a weak positive (at that time). And that is truly all He has ever tested. The last one, about a month ago (Snap test ) was so weak you could barely see the color change. So we ran the Eliza (sendout) Which was positive. None of the other cats he had been with ever tested positive. Bill Murray came in as a 2month old kitten this summer. Tested Negative initially, but has had the usual colds etc. Was retested AFTER finding A new intake that was fe leuk positive in the same "colony" he was in......again, he's the only one that tested positive after 45 days. They are now their own "colony" in one of my bathrooms! My personal cats are FeLeuk vaccinated, but I frequently do have fosters loose in my house. Please let me know if there is anything else you need on them I'd be glad to make a donation or send food or whatever. They are current on their vaccinations as well.

As you can tell I am really leaning toward taking. I do love the feleuk babies, kitten or adult. Since I only take in "unadoptables" for my rescue group -- feleuk, chronic illnesses, biters, ver elderly, etc, and since I keep them and all my cats vaccinated, I don't isolate feleuks. They mix freely with my guys - with our vet's blessing. I've never yet had one of my cats contract feleuk. They snuggle up in bed with me along with all the rest!

Last spring I lost Cheyenne, a little feleuk Siamese girl who came from a kill shelter in Corsicana, Tx at 4 mo. She lived over almost 2 years with me. Crash sounds like he might have acquired feleuk as an adullt - or if as a baby, is just very lucky to be healthy longer. What can you tell me about their background. Drew Merry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm not sure how old Crash the British Shorthair is for sure. I know that he is a young adult, probably around 2 years old or so. I think that the Siamese boy is around 7 months old. They are both really cool boys. Sure take all the time you need to think about it. Their foster mom has them isolated. I will be off on vacation from December 12 until I go back to work on my birthday of December 26. So I am more than willing to drive all the way to Little Rock if you need me to. Thank you so much for even considering this. We all understand that I have too many cats feeling.

I have lost feleuk babies lately -- so as far as feleuk goes I have room -- my problem is that I am so overloaded that I am working hard to get my numbers way down. But I love the feleuk kids -- give me a few days to think about it, Ok. How old is the British Shorhair? Unfortunately the kitten will probably not be a long term rescue - since most babies born with it die within the first year to year and a half. Drew Merry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Susan, We have 2 kitties that have been tested at least twice. The results were a weak positive on Snap, confirmed by a Elisa assay (think that's what's they call the send out). One kitty is a half grown Siamese kitten (about 6 months old) and the other is a nice British Short Hair. They are wonderful cats and perfectly healthy except for testing positive for FeLV. Do you have room for them? I would be willing to drive them all the way to Little Rock if you can take them. Thank you so much for all of your help. Please let us know if you can help in anyway.
