The way I read it is they take in cats that are in dire straights and have made provisions for FeLV's and FIV's. It looks to me like they ask for the large donations if you have a pet for which you want them to take over responsibility. I agree with Gary, that if people pay that amount for lifetime care, they're not apt to want their cat adopted out. I think this fee takes care of a couple of issues for the sanctuary, it keeps the numbers of owner forfeitures down and the money they do get covers costs so the expense doesn't cut into the rescue end. They also have a vet on staff and a low cost spay neuter clinic that is open to the public. It looks pretty impressive. That said, I would still have to check it out myself before any of mine went there (or anywhere for that matter). Of course, I'd have to win the lotto also.

I emailed them through their website. Also another sanctuary is called love and hope in upstate new york they have a website (google "love and hope sanctuary new york) i think you will find it through there. good luck!Jeni > From: dhotz...@gmail.com > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:52:41 -0400 > Subject: [Felvtalk] Urgent!
