Today we finally found time to take 6 of our 12 'Houston hoarder" cats to the
clinic for retesting.
These cats, if you remember, came from a house of 185 neglected cats.
Many of the cats were felv+.
I took in 14 to foster, and @ first they were all housed in one large "walk in"
size pen.
We were testing them 3 @ a time, and the very last cat that we tested, Lillian,
came up felv+.
Which meant all of the other 13 cats had had a continous exposure to felv for
about 3 weeks.
In very close quarters.
And many of the cats were sick w/ all kinds of problems when we got them, as
well as malnourishment.
We had pyrometria, URI, mouth ulcers, toe infections, very stressed out
geriatrics, megacolon, and one little kitty w/seizures that did not make
it....... :(
to name some of the problems.
Anyway, of the 6 that we tested today, all came back neg/neg after a 4month
quarantine.
We are planning an adoption event to be held for them,hopefully this weekend,so
that they can now start finding permanent mew homes......... :)
The other 6 are in a separate pen, and we will be getting their tests performed
the first of next week.
Please wish them well..........

Faithful Bast at her side did wait,
Purring welcomes of soft applause,
Ever guarding with sharpened claws."
