Well, they (BF) do very good things, and if "huggy feely" works, then great,
whatever works.
I know they very qualified to care for felv+ cats, but I also wonder how
many of the 400 are felv+?
And I wonder how many they could responsibly absorb?
I am sure they know, they seem to REALLY have their act togehter, lots of
good folks on the ground level.
Last thing I need is another felv+ kitty right now, especially since we are
to start testing my 12 "limbo" fosters this week.
(Everyone please wish them well, paws crossed........, they have been
studying hard, because they have heard they are getting tested. I just
gentley explain that this is not a "pass or fail" test......)
But, if I have to take another felv+ cat, even from Nevada, it would be ok,
the Cat Gods will be there for me I am sure.
We'll figure it all out.

I have not heard anything.
I love Best Friends and they are probably the most equipped of anyone
in the country to treat FELV cats. It is my understanding they have
one who is 20. They can get all the latest, most expensive,
experimental stuff, because they are a 24 million dollar a year
business, have tens of thousands of volunteers, etc.
Because they are a 24 million dollar a year business, I don't feel bad
at all about not contributing to them financially. I keep my money
closer to home.
I do totally support their mission, though.
Some people I hear do not like them because they are too "huggy
feely." They have a committment to keep things positive, deal with
people always on a positive level, and don't do things like show the
public barrels of dead animals as PSAs.
This is why they are a 24 million dollar a year business. I am trying
hard to emulate them, but it is a lot more difficult when you take in
about 1% of the money they do and have thousands fewer volunteers, but
I'll get there one day:)
