We don't have a Petsmart or Petco within 60 miles or so. I guess I'll have to get inventive in this area.

We do adoptions @ Petsmart, ofcourse. And we sign up for additional time during the week when there is space available. We list on Craigslist, Petfinder,probably some other places too. Wemakebig postersw/"before & after"photos detailingtheir plight. We have one person who does our "screening" in the Austin area. We are hoping tohave a shelter /group foster home by next spring. That really would help. Susan J.

Susan-that is wonderful! Could you tell me what you do for an adoption event? I'm interested for the future when my husband and I hope to run a sanctuary. And, I've got three fosters that need homes now, so any advice on advertising and such would be greatly appreciated. The web just really doesn't work for advertising around here.

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.
