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.......... Susan J.
