I talked to the vet regarding FELv because I can't understand why the first option is always putting them to sleep, it makes me crazy thinking about how many cats are put to sleep and don't deserve to be, The vet said that FELv + cats will die a slow and painful death, I said ok well what about the ones that test false positive or the ones that test positive and are able to throw the virus off, he said he has never heard of that happen, I guess what I am getting at is there any way to reverse what these vets are taught in college.

Oh no. I'm so incredibly sorry to hear that. I pray you find comfort in knowing that Tigger is in a wonderful place, where he knows only perfect health and happiness. And when you consider that you'll have eternity together, this separation is but a speck of time. Try to remember that he's not gone, just gone ahead. Nov 17 marked my last dog's first birthday in Heaven. It's been a year and not a day goes by that I don't think of him fondly and miss him dearly. Unfortunately, it's the price we pay for surrounding ourselves with these marvelous wonders whose life spans are shorter than our own. I pray for comfort and healing for you.

John, I know that Tigger would want you to have your heart open to a cat in need (Storm). You have the support of a great fellowship of cat lovers. Over the past 2 years I have lost 3 cats to old age/disease and I immediately found 3 loving cats that needed a home. Nothing will replace Tigger, but every new cat brings so much joy.

The woman trying to help the cat on Chincoteague Island sent me some additional information, so I thought I'd share it here. He only has 11 days to find a home, foster, or rescue. Please feel free to crosspost. Thanks, Cindy Here's the info she sent: There is a resident population of feral cats at Tom's Cove Campground. Some of the people living there put food out. Occasionally a cat is trapped and taken to an area vet. Storm showed up after Hurricane Irene. He was trapped and taken to the vet to get shaved down because he was badly matted and infested with fleas. At the vet's it was discovered he was already neutered. His ears were not notched and he has no microchip. Storm has not shown any aggression at all. He is fed separately, but the other cats don't bother him. He is not feral. I was asked if I would take him home with me when I visited in October. I took him to the local vet to be tested and that is when it was discovered that he is FeLV+. I have a 3yo female cat who is FeLV-. There is no way I could keep him separated from my cat. While the rest of the colony will survive the winter, it is doubtful if Storm would make it through the winter outside and without a regular source of food. The campground where he is now closes at the end of November. I honestly think he would make a wonderful pet. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

She really loves attention and follows me around. Kind of a laid back little girl. She likes to play of course like all kittens but she's also happy just hanging out.

That said, I live in S Ohio and if nobody can take your kitty I would be willing to try if someone can assist with transporting her. I can't dirve the entire way but could meet someone in KY maybe if you can't find her a home? She would be totally indoors, spoiled and probably end up wrestling with the puppy and blind Koko Kitty just as the others do so she most definitely would not lack for play opportunities.
