Re: [Felvtalk] Brando and Luna Please add to the CLS :( :(
Hi Lee, SIDS is an offshoot of Crash's Landing Cat Rescue Placement, SIDS is for the special needs kitties. see: http://www.crashslanding.org Crash's Landing and Big Sid's Sanctuary are devoted to taking at-risk stray cats off the streets of the greater Grand Rapids area, providing them with veterinary care, and housing them in our facilities until dedicated, loving permanent homes can be found. CLS is our Candle Light Service/Ceremony - to honor remember our kitties see: http://www.bemikitties.com/cls/index.shtml Kat (Mew Jersey) - Original Message - From: Lee Evans Sent: 04/04/12 09:23 PM To: sherryd...@yahoo.com, felvtalk Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Brando and Luna Please add to the CLS :( :( I'm so sorry for your loss. Most of my FeLv cats lived approx. 2 years. Most died of lymphoma. I also had two FIV+-FeLv+ cats. They also passed on from lymphoma. I now have one husky, healthy black boy who is positive for FIV and FeLv. I'm hoping that now that he has lived with me for a few months, he may have thrown off the FeLv and will only be FIV+. I have a group of 6 FIV+ cats waiting to hear if they are going to get another brother. In the past, a cat I named Moses turned negative for FeLv after he lived with me in isolation (separate room from the other cats) for 4 months. He's still alive and prospering after 4 years and negative for everything. I know you are grieving for your lost fur kids but you did your best. You gave them a chance in a world that doesn't usually give imperfect cats any chance at all. Could you please answer two questions for me? I know I'm going to sound like a complete idiot but what is SIDS in reference to cats and what does CLS stand for? Thanks.

I will forever miss this awesome guy! Luna,but as I lovingly called her Tuna Pishes :) Well this wonderful girl was lucky enough to have gotten herself a home around Christmas time almost 2 years ago with a wonderful family. I had considered adopting her but I believe she was in her meant to be home,she too will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

Re: [Felvtalk] Please Share Thoughts on TNR Dilemma
Hi Bonnie, I would try to bring her over to your house, but not directly outside. Do you have a small room @ your house you can use for a few weeks? If so, you should keep her in there - with litter, food water a place to hide (large box with hole in it some towels will do just fine) while you get her accustomed to you as her new care giver. Go in there everyday to be with her - even if you don't touch her. Stay in there for at least a half-hour read something out loud (normal voice) so she can get used to hearing you. If you decide to name her - use her name over over when you go in to feed her. Praise her for being a smart strong kitty. etc. Then after a few weeks, leave her in the room, but with a screened window cracked open a bit, so she can get used to the new neighborhood smells from inside. That way, when you do finally let her out ( put her box outside too) she will already be familiar with the surroundings won't be so apt to bolt or run off. Good luck! It will be worth the time the effort!!!

Now I’m literally an hour away from needing to decide. The problem is that my aunt (who’s tame housecat I took) also had a “feral” living in her large yard. The cat showed up about 2 years ago, and for the past year I believe the cat has pretty much been a resident there (her only source of food?). Yesterday I trapped her and took her to Forgotten Felines, the local and excellent TNR organization. Guess what? She had already been spayed. That means some (fill in the blank nasty term) ‘person’ had just abandoned her! So here’s the dilemma: if I release her in my yard, she’s in a strange place. The only thing holding her near will be my good heart. If I take her back to my aunt’s house (which is to go on the market soon) god knows what will happen, where she will find food, and the next ‘trapper’ may not have as good a motivation as I do. I see it as 50/50 for this poor cat. But what would YOU do? Thanks for your thoughts. ~Bonnie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Sorry to Ask so much, but...
Hey Bonnie - No apologies necessary!! I would crack open a window in the bathroom (if it has a window). If it doesn't have a window - try bringing in some plants/soil/etc (in a pot) from the outside. Once she has gotten more used to you - set up a large crate (covered with a tarp) that is big enough to hold food/water/litter her box outside with her in it. She will be safe protected in the cage out of the elements (due to the tarp) can get acclimated to her surroundings. (I'm assuming the weather is not horrendous by you right now). Then you can let her out of the cage - but prop the cage door open so she can always get back in if she wants. Sending you good vibes for great success!!

Folks I'm sorry to be monopolizing all this air space on the list this morning, but am trying to figure this out with this cat. So, if I decide to put her in my bathroom for a 2 to 3 weeks, as has been suggested, then how do I introduce her to 'living outside' again? I currently have 4 cats PLUS am trying to introduce my aunt's cat, Princess. I know this doesn't sound like much to some of you, but it's getting a bit stress (maybe more for me than for the felines!).. Again, I can't thank you enough for sharing your information and experiences. I deeply appreciate you all! ~Bonnie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
