RE: update on Cassidy
Well, yesterday I went over to my mom's for supper, had to bring their cat inside since he always escapes, and I'm the only one he trusts to get him back in, well, there was another cat under the bushes--very pretty tabby. We sat in the grass and got to know each other for a while. My mom laughed and said, We were hoping you wouldn't see him. I have my limit on cats right now, but it made me think--if Cassidy's got a chance to go to a loving and wonderful home, I should do what I can to get him there. Once he's gone, I'll miss him so much, but that will make room for other cats who need me. This cat that I saw yesterday, my mom thinks belongs to the neighbors who yell at their kids. They feed him in the garage. Unfortunately, I know these people and they belong to our card club--can't really steal their cat away! But, if I see them, I'll talk to them gently. This cat has a funny eye--crooked, but not milky colored. The one eye looks up instead of straight. I don't know if that means he's blind in that eye, but either way, I think he should be a house cat, not a garage cat. But, that convinced me that I must do what's best for Cassidy by taking him to Best Friends, but also, I know that I'll have room for more cats should they choose to find me. One way or another, I know I can find resources to get him there--I just have to be resourceful! :) Melissa -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rosenfeldt, Diane Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 4:14 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: update on Cassidy Wendy, I'm glad you posted this. I was afraid I had missed or forgotten some detail about the situation that made it absolutely vital that Cassidy actually go to BF NOW. I agree with you, if this is such a rush and a hardship, Melissa would be better off waiting for some firm results on the IFA -- preferably one taken a few months from now -- than trying to hustle together some arrangements to get Cassidy to BF in less than 2 weeks. Trying to move him now will take a toll on finances, marriage and emotions, and there would be an even greater toll if, after all this, Cassidy turned out to have shed the virus and it would all have been for nothing. No matter how wonderful BF is, by the nature of the cats they take in, there will, sadly, always be turnover. If Cassidy is truly positive, I am sure there will be a place for him down the line. I can't imagine that BF would be insensitive to the many difficulties Melissa is going through at the moment. Melissa, I know these decisions don't come easily, and ultimately you're the one who has to make them, but please don't let yourself be rushed into all this angst and expense without sitting down and thinking it through again.

So I'm going to call and speak with Joanie again tomorrow and/or Friday and see what she thinks about this situation. So if you can hold tight for a day or two, we will probably have a better answer to this problem. I wish they were more flexible! If it were me, I'd probably wait and not go anyway, because of the costs associated and the fact that she might test negative. And I am betting come July 1 if she's still postitive, they'll be able to take her still and maybe by then you can get help with transport. This is all so rushed. And when I feel rushed, usually things don't feel right, you know? I wonder if your vet is aware there is a problem with his staff? You might let him know you are frustrated and thinking of going elsewhere because of all the mix-ups and that you aren't feeling secure with the service you are receiving which you take very seriously because you love your animals so much. Maybe he doesn't even know there are that many issues, and if he doesn't know, he can't fix it. I would be angry too if I were you. I do expect people in a business setting to get their job right as they are being paid to do so. I'm certainly not perfect at work, but I do a pretty decent job. If it were me dealing with people and their animals' health, I would take it very seriously. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ __ Do You Yahoo!?

All three substances are used as a cheap protein additive in pet foods. With this news, Howl 911 believes all pet foods containing additives of any kind from China should be tested for melamine and other contaminates. This finding also vindicates the claims of many pet parents whose pets were sickened or killed as a result of eating non-Menu Foods brands which did not contain wheat gluten. Virtually all pet foods and many treats contain protein additives in the form of gluten (wheat, corn) or from other grain or vegetable sources (rice, soy, whey), and many of these additives are products of China.

A complete listing of recalls can be found in the FDA Enforcement Report at: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/Enforce.html Wilbur-Ellis Voluntarily Recalls Rice Protein Concentrate *Contact:* Ann Barlow 415-438-9826; 925-200-6539 Deborah Brown 212-931-6113 *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* -- San Francisco, CA -- April 18, 2007 -- Wilbur-Ellis Company is voluntarily recalling all lots of the rice protein concentrate the San Francisco company's Feed Division has shipped to pet-food manufacturers because of a risk that rice protein concentrate may have been contaminated by melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilizers that can lead to illness or fatalities in animals if consumed. Wilbur-Ellis noted that it obtained rice protein from a single source in China and shipped to a total of five U.S. pet-food manufacturers located in Utah, N.Y., Kansas and two in Missouri. Last Sunday, April 15, Wilbur-Ellis notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that a single bag in a recent shipment of rice protein concentrate from its Chinese supplier, Binzhou Futian Biology Technology Co. Ltd., had tested positive for melamine. Unlike the other white-colored bags in that shipment, the bag in question was pink and had the word melamine stenciled upon it. Wilbur-Ellis separated that bag and quarantined the entire shipment for further testing and since that time, no further deliveries of rice protein concentrate have been made. Samples from the white bags tested negative for melamine. However, subsequent and potentially more sensitive tests by the FDA came back positive for melamine, leading Wilbur-Ellis to voluntarily issue the recall. Wilbur-Ellis began importing rice protein concentrate from Binzhou Futian Biology Technology in July 2006. A total of 14 containers holding 336 metric tons of rice protein concentrate were sent from Futian to Wilbur-Ellis. Wilbur-Ellis has distributed 155 metric tons to date. On Monday (April 16), a pet food distributor issued a voluntary recall of its pet food, believing the source of contamination to be rice protein concentrate supplied by Wilbur-Ellis. As an additional precaution, Wilbur-Ellis is urging all pet food manufacturers using rice protein concentrate supplied through Wilbur-Ellis to recall any pet food that may be on supermarket shelves.* * Consumers with questions about the pet food they use should visit the FDA Web site at www.fda.gov.

follow-up point! thanks belinda! Re: an important reminder - sorry, kinda long:)
My sincerest apologies my dear friends!!! I keep forgetting that not everyone is as lucky as I am. I am incredibly spoiled by the vets I have and their dedication to continuing education and openness to the information I’ve given them from the list. I was speaking from the ideal in my head that all vets are like mine and that vets, having the lengthy education they have, are (supposed to be) equipped to evaluate different therapies and treatments and studies and then be able to make an educated, informed decision WITH the owner as to treatment.

I think that the first thing we need to remember is that we are here to help each other and share experiences with the possibility of our past experiences providing more information for a new FeLV+ parent to have in their decision-making arsenal. With the high emotions that come with the territory, sometimes the words that appear on the screen aren't read with the spirit they were written - we're all human and should try not to be condemning of a person dealing with these difficult issues who makes decisions that WE, in all our vast knowledge and skill, would NOT have made. Ultimately, we have to remember that it is each of us individually who has responsibility for his/her own furkid - we're not raising horses (camels!) by committee here ya know. The asking for additional information (experience etc) and advice is NOT a request for the list to make the decision (not that every/anyone posts that way as a rule, but you know what I mean)!! I think that the most important thing this list has done over the years is create this amazing e-family. My Ninja passed in 1998 and my boys are negative and I am still here because I love you guys! AND to share if anything Ninja and I lived through could help someone else. We need to SAY that X is what we tried and it worked for us as opposed to saying X WORKS! We all know that every kit is different and what works for one won't for another and, as with mixing, it has to work for the whole family. For those of us who have dealt with FeLV in the past or have been living with it for a time, we may forget how terrifying the diagnosis can be and how poorly we were initially filtering information. If it isn't said in as many words, personal opinion and experience can be read as FACT and that's not fair to the newbies. Especially considering that WE ARE NOT VETERINARIANS!!! I remember when I first found out Ninja's positive status and I was DEVASTATED. But I found this list. I found a vet whose own cat was positive. I did a TON of research, but not everybody thinks to do that or can filter through the panic. Because we have experience, we can let newbies know, hey, this is a possible treatment oh, you live in X, I've heard great things about this clinic there etc. But we should also remind everyone (especially new people) that they need to do their own research outside this list and figure out what makes the most sense to them - regardless of what everyone's OPINIONS on here are. Many topics come up that have been covered in great detail in the archives!! Searching the archives for additional information on any number of topics related to our FeLV+ kits should be one of the first things we do - newbies and oldies both. There is a wealth of experience and information available through this group and its members. Also, knowing what an amazing medium of communication the internet is, we have to be particularly careful in what we are saying about external resources, be they shelters or hospitals or clinics or rescue organizations or specific vets etc etc. Negative comments especially need to be framed in the this is MY experience with WXY as opposed to OMG DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DO AT WXY AND IT'S THEIR POLICY. So let's all remember to share personal opinion and experience as such. e.g. we tried X and... y didn't work for us, but z did wxy was really helpful (or not) to me when I called for info Further, deponent sayeth not. We now return to your regularly scheduled list-serve. - Barb Moermond - We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence. - Philip Pullman

I am certain that cats can taste sweets and that some cats actually have a sweet tooth. I've had a few who had a definite preference for sugary things.

To all affected by pet food recall - lawyer needs info for ...
Please feel free to cross post: Jay Edelson, the attorney who is suing Menu Foods and the pet companies, wants to hear from anyone and everyone whose pet was sick or died as a result of the recall food. He needs to hear from shelters and independent rescue groups who lost pets. Bear in mind we are getting complaints of deaths that go back to November, with speculation that food was tainted as early as last September. So please post an announcement to all of your many groups to contact Attorney Jay Edelson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) . His firm has filed suit, has been before Congress, and will be going back to Congress and will be filing more suits. We need ALL THE AMMUNITION we can get. We need to also round up as much tainted food as possible. The companies are destroying evidence. So post everywhere you know to post to have anyone contact Jay. I know there are other law firms involved, but since Jay's firm has already filed suit and has direct contact with Congress, that is our single best resource to get action. Even if they only have tainted unopened food, they need to contact Jay. If they suspect illness or death, have them contact Jay.

new addition to the family
Hi, I just wanted to write and thank everyone for thier kind words about Hillman's passing and also wanted to say sorry to anyone that has lost a baby in the last few weeks. After we lost Hillman a few weeks ago, I wasn't on the search to find another feluk, but what do you know I just brought another one home. His name is Meer (means chief in hindu (i think hindu)) and he is a beautiful big black and white male. He was pulled from a city shelter and we found out he was feluk positive and now he is home with me. He is on a few meds, for his cold and eye discharge...fun fun fun. Hopefully the girls, will like him when they get a formally introduction. Poor guy has to live in my bathroom right now. And now on to a plea I might have to find homes for possibly 4 kittens, right now they are only three weeks old but only one tested positive on the snap and IFA and needs a home. I am willing to foster until 8 weeks old, but can not keep...she is really really cute...tabby and white. The other three her litter mates did not test positive on the snap and so are going to be re-tested in july and hopefully they do not test positive, but if they do then they will need homes too. Anyone out there want to help...willing to travel and will supply food and liter box and carrier. If need a longer fostering then I can do that, but not too long. My husband has been a saint, but I think the cat I just brought in, will be the cat that broke the camels back (my husband's back) and I can not keep another one. Please help, I know it's easier to adopt out babies then adults. In the new york area...please email me with any questions or suggestions!

Re: [feline-hyperT] OT:Natural Balance-Melamine
Dearest Patti, Please take a nice long breath sweetheart. I actually did respond to you, I just didn't end up sending it because after I thought about it, it wasn't very constructive to restate the obvious or interject my fears and suppositions. We're all scared and feeling helpless right now. Like so many on the list, I have more than a few mouths to feed and cooking homemade meals for everyone is prohibitive. What I'm doing is feeding what I've been feeding, (since no one has been acting sick), but less of it and supplementing with home cooked foods. I'm continuing to look for food sources with as few additives and grains as I can find, keeping as informed as I can, and praying that we'll weather the storm. I wish I had the answers that would keep us all safe. Unfortunately, you of all people know that is not always possible. Please come climb down from the edge. I know it's easier said than done, but stressing out over things that are not in our control will only add to our burdens. Hugs to you, Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No replys???

I think that the first thing we need to remember is that we are here to help each other and share experiences with the possibility of our past experiences providing more information for a new FeLV+ parent to have in their decision-making arsenal. With the high emotions that come with the territory, sometimes the words that appear on the screen aren't read with the spirit they were written - we're all human and should try not to be condemning of a person dealing with these difficult issues who makes decisions that WE, in all our vast knowledge and skill, would NOT have made. Ultimately, we have to remember that it is each of us individually who has responsibility for his/her own furkid - we're not raising horses (camels!) by committee here ya know. The asking for additional information (experience etc) and advice is NOT a request for the list to make the decision (not that every/anyone posts that way as a rule, but you know what I mean)!! I think that the most important thing this list has done over the years is create this amazing e-family. My Ninja passed in 1998 and my boys are negative and I am still here because I love you guys! AND to share if anything Ninja and I lived through could help someone else. We need to SAY that X is what we tried and it worked for us as opposed to saying X WORKS! We all know that every kit is different and what works for one won't for another and, as with mixing, it has to work for the whole family. For those of us who have dealt with FeLV in the past or have been living with it for a time, we may forget how terrifying the diagnosis can be and how poorly we were initially filtering information. If it isn't said in as many words, personal opinion and experience can be read as FACT and that's not fair to the newbies. Especially considering that *WE ARE NOT VETERINARIANS!!!* I remember when I first found out Ninja's positive status and I was DEVASTATED. But I found this list. I found a vet whose own cat was positive. I did a TON of research, but not everybody thinks to do that or can filter through the panic. Because we have experience, we can let newbies know, hey, this is a possible treatment oh, you live in X, I've heard great things about this clinic there etc. But we should also remind everyone (especially new people) that they need to do their own research outside this list and figure out what makes the most sense to them - regardless of what everyone's OPINIONS on here are. Many topics come up that have been covered in great detail in the archives!! Searching the archives for additional information on any number of topics related to our FeLV+ kits should be one of the first things we do - newbies and oldies both. There is a wealth of experience and information available through this group and its members. Also, knowing what an amazing medium of communication the internet is, we have to be particularly careful in what we are saying about external resources, be they shelters or hospitals or clinics or rescue organizations or specific vets etc etc. Negative comments especially need to be framed in the this is MY experience with WXY as opposed to OMG DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DO AT WXY AND IT'S THEIR *POLICY*. So let's all remember to share personal opinion and experience as such. e.g. we tried X and... y didn't work for us, but z did wxy was really helpful (or not) to me when I called for info Further, deponent sayeth not. We now return to your regularly scheduled list-serve.
