I totally agree...

Did you read any of the literature I sent? Because it doesn't sound
like you did. FIP
is NOT CONTAGIOUS. Corona virus is contagious, but 80% to 100% of
cats in shelters
ALREADY HAVE CORONA. Perhaps you may want to read the literature.
How do you know you
can't change the shelter's policy, how many times have you tried in
the past? I would
think that once every 3 to 6 months wouldn't be too often
(picketing out front
sometimes helps, but these days that may get you imprisoned as a
terrorist).
Or, who knows, maybe saving this one cat is enough for you, and
your life mission is
complete, who I am to judge? I hope you find her a home, and you
live the rest of
your days in blissful peace and happiness (at least until the
shelter starts testing
all their cats and decides to kill them ALL since they likely ALL
test corona
positive). Like they say, maybe you can't save every life, but to
the one you do
save, it means everything! What really matters is that you feel
good inside, and that
you can honestly look back on this in the future and say "I did the
best I could" and
be at peace with that. That's all any of us can really do. (I just
speak from
experience, as I know I look back on my life and regret all the "I
could have done
mores" I left behind.)
Have you posted her on the FIP cats and kittens for adoption
section of the
bemikitties adoption website yet?

You can also post her to these yahoogroups:
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Special_Needs_Rescue_Cats/
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/HANDICATS2/
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/PurringPixieCatResource/
And to these websites:
http://www.azfelines.org/index.php?&page=0000000003
http://www.petswithdisabilities.org/catadopt.html
And, if you tell me your city and state, I will send you a list of
all the no kill
shelters in a 200 mile or so radius to you. Or, if you prefer to
not give out that
information, you can find a partial list on my webpage (scroll down
a way) at:
http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html (if you or anyone else knows
of any I don't have
listed PLEASE send me their info)
Remember, pictures speak louder than words, so if you can, get a
picture of her (go
for the most pathetic looking pose you can get) and post a link to
her picture every
time you post her somewhere. If you need someone to host the image
so you can link to
it, send it to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will upload
it to my website
and send you the URL.
I hope this is more along the lines of the type of information and
assistance you
require. Good luck!
