Suggestion for the future: Contact the adopter's vet before the cat
is released re not killing an innocent cat and see if the vet will
agree to contact you if there is a problem (then hope they do).
Additionally have the adopter sign a mini contract. Sometimes that
alone makes them think twice.

Charlotte returned to the vet today as scheduled. Her PCV is up to
19% versus 9% a week ago. The CBC should be back tomorrow. Both the
vet and the vet tech noticed how much better she looks. She'll be
back for a recheck in a couple of weeks.
And if I may vent a little: we adopted out 2 cats at the shelter to
one person. The adopter called today and said that she had both cats
euthanized because one was FeLV+ and one was FIV+. I am really
ticked off. We've had good luck getting these cats out to rescues -
we've never euthanized one who tested positive for either disease -
and instead of calling us beforehand she just had them put down. We
would have taken the cats back and found places for them to go. It's
very upsetting, especially after going through all this with
Charlotte, and knowing how much effort, time and money the people on
this list spend on their positive cats. What a cop-out.
