I operate my 501 (c) (3) cat rescue group from home; we have regular home insurance and an umbrella to cover any volunteers, workers and people who come to adopt. We have never even been asked about the state of health of all the cats - they don't care. We have a small number of FIV/FeLV positive cats and many more healthy cats. I never planned it that way, but since they were rescues, I wasn't going to kill them or not accept them....so here I am. It really did sound to me that they may have been under the impression that the cats were to be insured, is that possible? I can't think of any other reason for anyone giving a hoot about the health of cats at a shelter, wherever it may be!!! Natalie

ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE KENNEL PACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH PETA WITH THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS FELV POS CATS. THEY NEED AN UPDATE FROM A VET ABOUT POS AND NEG FELV CATS. SINCE THE VIRUS DOES NOT LIVE LONG OUTSIDE THE HOST(AFTER IT IS DRIED OUT), MY VET SAID MAIN PROBLEM WOULD BE IF THEY GOT INTO A REAL KNOCKDOWN FIGHT AND BIT EACH OTHER . THAT WAY THE SALIVA FROM POS CAT COULD ENTER BLOODSTREAM O NEG CAT AND CAUSE A PROBLEM. SO, IF YOU KEEP THEM IN SEPERATE ROOMS, YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. ---- Chris <ti...@mindspring.com> wrote: > You might want to try some of the places that do keep AND adopt out FELV + and neg cats.
