Rachel- my Felv cat had hemobartonella, and was put on doxycycline for a month- it has cleared up completely. -Original Message- From: rache20...@aol.com [mailto:rache20...@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2010 11:17 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] hemobartonella and possible FeLV interested party in NY! I have 2 questions! One fl\or Paola and one for Beth. Paola, I would love to know who in NY is even somewhat interested in an FeLV+ cat as I have one who may or may not need a home and I just brought 2 kittens to a sanctuary yesterday, and I owuld love for them to have a real home (I live in NY). Also, Beth, I just had my rescue cat who has FeLV diagnosed today with hemobartonella and I have a really bad feeling about it. She is not eating well, is depressed, lost 1.5 lbs in a little over a month (and she was skinny before). She was 5.5lbs and is now 4 lbs. I'm really worried and sad for her and I want to do all I can to help, but I don't want to make her suffer, and I have three of my own cats to worry about plus all the other rescues. This is getting very costly! So if you know of something that might help the hemobartonella, please let me know!

I had the same experience with a non FELV cat.

Re: [Felvtalk] Great story of taming feral cats Japanese style viatreehugger
the ferals i worked with were not in cages, just put out food and shelter and gave them time to know and trust me. couple of times i forgot to warn them i was coming and got a bite taken out of my leg. some sacrifice necessary in this getting to know you process, especially when you make mistakes. it was worth it in the long run as they became my biggest lap babies.

Re: [Felvtalk] Great story of taming feral cats Japanese style viatreehugger
I'm so glad that the Japanese are better than their neighborsactually working with feral cats rather than just killing them, or using them commercially. I work mostly with feral cats and have NEVER been bitten or even scratched - and yes, many have turned out to be the biggest , mushiest lap cats and couch potatoes! The others, although they may not want or tolerate much attention, are tame enough to be touched. My vet is great with feralshe and his assistant work their charm merely with towels, so do I. Rehabilitated feral cats are the best because they are so appreciative!
