I had a different email address back then. Anyways, it's me and I'm back. No, none of my other cats have FELV, but I just offered to foster FOUR FELV+ cats (which means I'll probably have them for the rest of their lives, because we all know how hard it is to place these guys) from a cat rescue that is being shut down, called Cat Camp. They also need to place 30 feral cats, 50 healthy adoptable cats, and 6 FIV+ cats, or everyone will be euthanised next week. If anyone can take a FIV+ cat (or any cat, for that matter), please email this person for more info: [EMAIL PROTECTED](she is screening the potential new homes for the Cat Camp Foundation, tell her Jenn, the lady that offered to take the FELV+ cats, sent you). SO, I may have four new FELV+ kitties coming to live with me soon! So, I joined back up, hoping to hear of any new (and less expensive) treatments since I left the list back in 2002. I do not THINK any of these cats are actively ill, only carriers at this point. I can easily get Interferon from my vet, but is that still the most common home treatment you guys are using these days? I also now have a special needs cat website, so if you guys know of any good webpages that need to be added, please let me know. It's al http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html (the main website is wild cat conservation and rescue: http://ucat.us) Nice to see everyone again (and meet the new people, though I wish none of you had the need to be here, of course)! Jenn (If we still have more than one Jenn, feel free to call me UCAT-Jenn, or Jenn2 or Jenn3 or whatever works to reduce confusion.)

Kitties are located in Tabernacle, New Jersey. The contact email for helping place these cats is [EMAIL PROTECTED]and her name is Pam, she is screening the emails for the cat camp foundation owner. What happened was a neighbor complained to the city, and it has shut the Cat Camp down. (stupid neighbors!) I am in Hardwick, Vermont. I've got several requests out now to help with transport of 3 of the FELV+ cats to me (anybody live in CT or MA want to help with a leg of the trip?).

Jenn, Hello, and welcome back to the list. I've been a member for about a year. What kind of rescue was/is this? No one is UTD on rabies? I'm so sad and disheartened that these poor souls are in such a bad predicament. Is there a shelter anywhere near this 'sanctuary' that might be able to take them, at least temporarily to buy them some time in finding homes? Have the local TV/Newspapers been notified of this story? People always seem to come out of the woodwork when it hits the news. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That may be a possibility.

My main hook now is that in order for any of the volunteer transport services to help with this, they HAVE to be UTD on rabies, and have a current certificate.

I got my Tucson when she her brother fell down an ac vent on the roof of a garden apt my parents were staying in (Tucson). The mother stayed on the roof with her other kittens for 1 week in 100 degree weather howling all night until we got them out. The manager punched holes in three apts to get them but agreed to go into the vacant apt below only after I threatened to call the local TV station-also told them that if the kittens died they would have to tear all the walls down to get rid of the smell (gruesome, I know). By the way, the minute we got the second kitten out, the mother took her kittens left. I tried for days to find her but was unsuccessful. She knew they were safe had done her job better than many human mothers!
