To everyone, including Charles, who still seems to be reading the mail: This is my final comment on this topic, and if it offends some, ask me to leave the group.
I'm sorry, whether the first note from Charles was someone's idea of a joke, as suggested, or not, his second note certainly sounds like one too - it's a complete turnaround, a little hard to believe. His stud cat lives in a cage, gets out for daily walks, and that's "love" - and we're all idiots because we advocate spaying and neutering and express concern for a female cat that was purchased for only one purpose, to breed with his "beloved" stud cat, for what purpose? To sell the kittens. Sadly, the purchased breeder cat for whom he paid $300 is FeLV+, and that's where the problem came in, not a real concern for her illness. She wouldn't be able to be used as a breeder. Had she been healthy, she, too, would be living in a cage, with her kittens over and over again, like in a puppy mill. The kittens wouldn't even have been "home-raised", as they deserve.. According to Charles, some of us we were "bitching" about something that dogs and cats were in the wild - not spayed or neutered? Where have you been living, Charles, in cave? Try to understand what those who objected to your breeding go through the horrible and emotionally charged and financially debilitating work of rescuing a huge surplus of unwanted cats. I belong to a national Alert group; every day, a mere partial list of cats and dogs on a kill-list goes out of healthy, beautiful, young and old, begging to be rescued from the heart stick , gas chamber, or more humane euthanasia. Most don't even end up in nice shelters like the ones some of us operate, they go to municipal shelters that in many places in the country are dumping grounds for unwanted animals, living in squalor and filth. And those are just the ones that somehow got to a shelter or dumping area for killing. The rest are discarded anywhere you can imagine, fending for themselves under horrible conditions, breeding several times a year until we step in - most times, our work is like a drop in the ocean - but to the saved cat, it's everything. Whether Charles' letter was a joke or not (I'm not laughing), the topic was definitely not. Whether the poor FeLV+ cat is real or imaginary, isn't funny either.

Her life does not need to be cut short. I have a FelV shelter and many of my positive cats live many years with the disease. They have a home like setting, no cages, and a lady who lives there full time to care for them and give them companionship. I am in eastern WV, which is too far away for you, but there are many FelV shelters available, as well as people with no other cats who would love to have this female as a pet.
