Hi Julie, I live in new york and work for a shelter and am faced with the same situation here and there. Unfortunately I can not take any, I have four in my house and seeking a permanent place for one of them. I do recommend checking out angel's gate, they have a place in delhi and were willing to take one of my feluk cats I was seeking a home for about a year ago. My vet convinced me to keep him, so he stayed. They were really nice. I forgot their email address but if I come across it I will email it to you. I would also check out bemikitties, you can post them on there for adoption. I would also post them on craigslist, I know that is not the perfect place but you never know. If I hear of anyone that wants any feluks I will let you know. Good luck, I know it can be frustrating and heart breaking but so far knock on wood I have found homes for all of my feluks fosters (even though most of them ended up with me!)
