Subject: [Felvtalk] Need Sanctuary for Kittens
My rescue group has two 8 week old FeLV positive kittens that need a place
to go. I'm in the Atlanta area but I don't think there are any FeLV
sanctuaries nearby or even in the whole state. The lady who has been
fostering them is willing to drive almost anywhere. She has family in PA
and goes up there several times a year so driving a distance isn't a problem
for her. Plus we have other people who can drive them to various other
states. The kittens will be fully vetted and spayed or neutered. My rescue
is a very small group. We don't have a shelter facility, we just have
foster homes. We don't have a long term place for the kittens. Can anyone
help or offer suggestions?
We've only had one ELISA test done on the kittens but the mother cat had two
positive ELISA tests and we're waiting on the IFA results for her. Because
of that I'm thinking the kittens who tested positive are really positive.
Think we should do an IFA test on them? I feel certain that they are truly
positive but who knows. Also two of their littermates have tested negative
on their first ELISA. How long should we wait before re-testing? Do you
guys think those kittens could really be negative or is it more likely that
it just isn't showing up yet for some reason? I know I've heard some of you
say that you had a positive and a negative kitten that were littermates that
came from a positive mother cat. But does that happen very often?
Please let me know if anyone can put me in touch with a sanctuary for the
kittens. We might need one for the mother but for now I'll just worry about
the kittens. Oh, we do have someone who is taking the two negative kittens
and will hold them until they can be re-tested.
“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are
profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon
unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me
sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark
Twain
