I'm so sorry to hear about Napoleon's loss! Though his life was cut short, I'm happy to know he experienced nothing but love and kindness from you and your friend.
Choosing to take care of an FeLV+ cat is a difficult decision; we know we're setting ourselves up for heartbreak as well as vet bills and lots of worry. However, it is also one of the most unselfish actions. We know these cats and kittens will be on earth for a much shorter time than most of their FeLV- counterparts but we choose to give it our best and give them one of the greatest cat lives imaginable! Thank you for doing that for Napoleon, Willie and all the other kitties you've taken care of. So many cats, whether healthy or unhealthy, don't get to experience kindness, love, safety or care yet your kitties have known nothing but that.
