Re: Rainbow bridge for Joey
Son of a Bitc* Kelley. I'm sitting here balling. I've seen this so many times, you'd think I'd somehow be able to get used to it, but I haven't. I'm talking about not the fact that we lose them, but how often they seem to rally towards the end. The way our hopes soar, no matter how we've tried to prepare ourselves. Bless you for all you did for him, you made a difference in his life. You came along and showed him that there were humans he could trust and that cared. I hope knowing how much of a blessing you were to his life helps you cope with having to say goodbye. I hope it somehow makes all the effort and expense worthwhile to you, I know it has to him. Maybe that's why he choose this time to leave, he finally found what he was searching for, someone to love him unconditionally and to rally to his side. You weren't too late, you were just in time. Bless his sweet soul, and bless you Kelley. I hate to be pragmatic at a time like this, but if you are anything like me, it might be best to hold on to the meds. Not that I welcome the thought, but someone else who finds their way to you might need them in the future. Thank you for being on the front lines of rescue, you are my hero.

The adopters need to put out a humane trap, baited with canned mackeral or something along those lines (smelly fish is especially useful but catnip sometimes works when food does not). Put the trap near the window where she got out. She is probably nearby and hiding and will come out when it is dark and quiet to look for food.

Re: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!
I agree with Kelly and Susan, you need to get a trap out asap. Great idea Susan about contacting possible feral groups in the area. You might also want to contact the people at the local shelters who deal with ferals and give them Mattie's description. Do you have a picture of her? Bless it Hideyo, you adopt out few enough without having something like this happen. I hope it doesn't dissuade you from placing other kitties. Try not to worry, she is probably still nearby and will come out when it gets dark. You said she's a year old, how old was she when she was rescued? Does she have any experience with being on the streets? At least she's spayed, she won't have to fight off any Toms. How far is she from her original colony? I'm so sorry darlin'.

Re: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!
Does Mattie trust you? You might want to put an article of clothing that smells like you over, or next to the trap. Do you have any of her littermates still? I know it can be a traumatic way to trap, but maybe you could put a buddy of her's in a large carrier butted up to the trap, (the way we do when we use babies to catch their mommas). Are any of her friends esp vocal? Nina Nina wrote: I agree with Kelly and Susan, you need to get a trap out asap. Great idea Susan about contacting possible feral groups in the area.

RE: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!
Well - traps are set up already - she is not even near where she was originally from when she was growing up -she was at my vet's clinic for the past 6 months being socialized after being rescued- from my experience of recapturing a feral which is new to the area - you really need to do it in multiples steps.. Mattie has been trapped in the past, and she may not go into the trap right away, but I first need to know where she is at - so I asked the adopter to put the food all over the areas without traps so that we can first identify the area she might be at - so even if she does not want to go in the trap - we can narrow daown the area she might be at -- otherwise you may be sort of shooting in the dark - but I will put the trap out anyway just in case we are lucky enough to catch her that way. This is a kitty that they (the clinic) asked me to take because she is more feral than other kitties they were caught at the same time, and I hesitated to do so for various reasons, so, I really want to find her quickly as I do feel responsible - she was coming around and become very friendly - but I am sure that she is sooo scared right now. A good thing is she is in a very safe neighbourhood - in a very wealthy area.. and no dogs or cayotes.. lots of big clean yard and hiding places - I need lots of prayers and meditations from you guys - so that we can find her asap. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 2:28 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!

RE: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!
There may be other cats who will eat the food. Also, since she just got out so
recently she is probably hiding nearby scoping out the terrain. Look within
100 feet of her exit point, someplace dark and quiet and secure.
With traps, always cover them with towels or area rugs so only the opening
shows, and put a dishcloth or newsprint on the inside bottom to cover the trip
plate. The trick is to make the trap look like a cozy safe lair.

I did not want to say anything before now. I wanted to make sure it was real. He stays in Eric's room, because he does not want to be around the other cats. He now likes to venture out a bit and explore. Ok for the real good news, his vision is better. He can see close up again. Eric discovered this and had to show me. Now I am sure it is not great vision, but I guess the inflammation was causing part of his blindness. Junior is good therapy for Eric. Eric is suffering from some yet undiagnosed neuromuscular disease. Probably autoimmune in nature. Lately he has been in a lot of pain and is very week in his legs.

Re: Rainbow bridge for Joey
Poor brave Joey--I'm sure my big 18-pound boy Jack-Jack (he passed away at two from hypertensive cardiomyopathy) is waiting for him. (Jack-Jack was thrilled to have babies to care for.) I know Joey was ten, but that's enough of a baby for Jack! I always figured he was a Maine Coon reject (he had short hair). And Joey looks partly like Jack, too.

Re: Rainbow bridge for Joey
Nina, what a beautiful statement about our beloved FeLV+ ones and how hard they try to stay here with us because although they know all about the rainbow bridge they know that it's harder for us to visualize that transitional part of life than it is for them. I believe they want to stay here for us, too, as well as for themselves, because it is as hard for humans to transition between dimensions as it is easy and graceful for our beloved cats.

The way our hopes soar, no matter how we've tried to prepare ourselves. Bless you for all you did for him, you made a difference in his life. You came along and showed him that there were humans he could trust and that cared. I hope knowing how much of a blessing you were to his life helps you cope with having to say goodbye. I hope it somehow makes all the effort and expense worthwhile to you, I know it has to him. Maybe that's why he choose this time to leave, he finally found what he was searching for, someone to love him unconditionally and to rally to his side. You weren't too late, you were just in time. Bless his sweet soul, and bless you Kelley. I hate to be pragmatic at a time like this, but if you are anything like me, it might be best to hold on to the meds.

Re: I believe I am going to lose Tomi soon
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and suggestions for Tomi. He had a pretty good day yesterday, he was watching the birds outside the window for awhile and purring as I petted him. He was even interested in eating some food. Today was not such a good day. He seemed ok first thing this morning, but when I gave him a bit of food, he promptly vomited up. He was then a little out of breath from vomiting, and cried a bit because I believe he was scared as he was trying to catch his breath. He also peed himself for the first time ever :( After that, he had no energy to move all day. He basically stayed in my bedroom the whole day, lying under the sink. I gave him some towels to lie on, and he peed again tonight on those, too weak to get up. My vet clinic doesn't do house calls, so if I need to euthanize him, i'll have to call around and see if anyone will do a house call. I don't think he can handle a car ride at all now. Even the thought of putting him to sleep has me in tears every time, but I think he's at the point now that he is getting no pleasure out of life. I think he is waiting to die :( Cassandra - Original Message - From: C J To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 4:18 PM Subject: I believe I am going to lose Tomi soon I've been hoping and praying that Tomi would somehow pull through this, and last week he did seem to be doing better on the 2 prednisone per day. But now, the last few days, he's been going downhill fast. Today, he is out of breath just walking a few feet, and breathing fast. I'm still able to coax him to eat a bit of baby food, but he just threw up the last bit of food I gave him. He never throws up normally.

To spend the last hours of his life doing to him what he hates the most (car ride and vet visit), seems too hard for me to handle. I don't think i'm strong enough to make that decision. To me it feels like I would be personally ending his life. I don't want him to suffer either, and i'm not sure at all how much longer he will last when he is having difficulty getting enough oxygen circulated due to anemia. I still can't believe all this has happened. Two months ago I was positive he would one day become a chunky, lazy old tom cat, lounging in the sun. I would never have dreamed I would lose him after only 2 and a half years.

Re: Urgent - Missing Mattie - need prayers and meditations please!
I agree about everything, especially about hiding nearby, scoping out her brand new neighborhood. Taylor Scobie Humphrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Apr 28, 2007, at 5:55 PM, Susan Hoffman wrote: There may be other cats who will eat the food. Also, since she just got out so recently she is probably hiding nearby scoping out the terrain. Look within 100 feet of her exit point, someplace dark and quiet and secure. With traps, always cover them with towels or area rugs so only the opening shows, and put a dishcloth or newsprint on the inside bottom to cover the trip plate. The trick is to make the trap look like a cozy safe lair. Hideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well – traps are set up already – she is not even near where she was originally from when she was growing up –she was at my vet’s clinic for the past 6 months being socialized after being rescued– from my experience of recapturing a feral which is new to the area – you really need to do it in multiples steps.. Mattie has been trapped in the past, and she may not go into the trap right away, but I first need to know where she is at – so I asked the adopter to put the food all over the areas without traps so that we can first identify the area she might be at – so even if she does not want to go in the trap – we can narrow daown the area she might be at -- otherwise you may be sort of shooting in the dark – but I will put the trap out anyway just in case we are lucky enough to catch her that way. This is a kitty that they (the clinic) asked me to take because she is more feral than other kitties they were caught at the same time, and I hesitated to do so for various reasons, so, I really want to find her quickly as I do feel responsible – she was coming around and become very friendly – but I am sure that she is sooo scared right now. A good thing is she is in a very safe neighbourhood – in a very wealthy area.. and no dogs or cayotes.. lots of big clean yard and hiding places – I need lots of prayers and meditations from you guys – so that we can find her asap.

I agree with Kelly and Susan, you need to get a trap out asap. Great idea Susan about contacting possible feral groups in the area. You might also want to contact the people at the local shelters who deal with ferals and give them Mattie's description. Do you have a picture of her? Bless it Hideyo, you adopt out few enough without having something like this happen. I hope it doesn't dissuade you from placing other kitties. Try not to worry, she is probably still nearby and will come out when it gets dark. You said she's a year old, how old was she when she was rescued? Does she have any experience with being on the streets? At least she's spayed, she won't have to fight off any Toms. How far is she from her original colony? I'm so sorry darlin'.
