Hi. I threw this out there a few weeks ago but don't i know if it went thru -
I didn't see any replies.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with outdoor (stray) cat
feeding. I have been feeding 7 for a year and a half now.
I am going to have arm surgery and will not be able to drive for 6 weeks and
will have a very difficult postop recovery. I have no-one else to feed the
cats. I am thinking of calling some shelters and maybe simultaneously the
newspaper to expose their plight. Perhaps some can be adopted, if a facility
would take them in and if they got the proper exposure from the newspaper. I
also could try to help in the adoption process. ALSO, my other question is,
how long have people been feeding their outdoor cats? I am thinking this
cannot go on forever. Where do I find people to help me out with it, if I
can't find adoptions? Any input on this, would be great. Thanks

I wouldn't know..besides of FIP it could be heart trouble and other conditions.
Sorry I can't reasure you. The vet can draw fluid and analyze it for protein
content, high protein is FIP. Last year and earlier this year we lost two
kittens to FIP almost a month apart. When they extracted fluid from the first
one it was clear but the analysis confirmed the high protein content. So dx was
FIP, later on vet found a large mass growing so concluded that he had
pancreatic cancer thus the fluid_at that point was greenish_his sister also got
a FIP dx, high prt fluid but more typical; yellow viscous fluid, no cancer.
I'm wishing all the best to you and your kitten

My FeLV+ kitten developed ascites and I'm worried the vet is going to tell me
it's FIP. Does anyone know if ascites is ever related to FeLV?
