RE: New Rescue - testing - bad news

Wed, 15 Dec 2004 18:47:57 -0800

Sorry to bring more bad news. This poor kitty had both felv and fiv

and was already show signs of sickness. That was why she was so

quiet and still in the cage. We decided to put her down and spare

her more suffering. Needless to say we are again devastated. If seems all the strays in our neighborhood have

the disease. They survive just long enough to pass it on to the next generation.

Please can Regina be added to the candle service?

 

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Good to see you again!  We understand about the lapse of reason -- we've all done it!  LOL

 

Let us know how the testing goes!

Hello,

 

Well, we are back on the list. My wife and I are still reeling from the loss

of our precious Dale earlier this year to FELV. At the time we both agreed there

would be no more pets for a while. It just hurt too much to lose Dale.

 

That was until she spotted a young cat that she said reminded her of Dale.

Well over my objections and after 2 weeks of arguing about it we now have her (I think it is a female as I can’t

get close enough yet) in the house. We lured her into a crate with food and closed the door with

string that we pulled from inside the house. She is now sitting quietly inside the crate right behind me.

She has actually been quite calm since the initial panic once she realized she was trapped in the crate.

Hasn’t even made a sound up until now, looks very alert and right now more forlorn than panicked.

Tentative name is Regina although I’m not sure if that will stick. I’m also not sure how feral she is.

We had great success in turning Dale from feral to the most loving cat I have ever know so that does not worry

me. I am sure you know what does.

 

Tomorrow it’s off to the vet for testing. We are praying for good results.

have her out of the crate)

Jonathan & Roberta
