Same here...we have a large group here that sends kitties to a hospice but do not euthanize. Felv+ and Fiv+ (no confirmatory tests) are mixed together....drives me nuts. Some are asymptomatic. However, no other group offers free TNR surgeries so they do a lot for controlling the population....if not for them, the cats won't be fixed otherwise and will indeed be suffering. http://thebestlittlecathouseinpa.com/Dome.htm
