We are in desperate need of placement. About 2 to 3 weeks ago a stray

I also wonder where they get those statistics. Even if they do a controlled study, it's probably not going to simulate a home environment. Anyhow - just suggesting that it's hard to get good data on that sort of thing.I started using alpha interferon (roferon) based on Tally's info on this

Have you tried putting the food in a bowl then
putting the bowl in a pan of water? It helped me. The roaches get

I suggest you settle in for the long haul and get a fan in that bedroom. It takes time to find a good adoptive home for an FeLV+ cat even under the best of circumstances.Was this the ELISA test or the IFA? What other health issues, if any, is the cat having? Approximate age? How's his body
You may also want to start him on Feliway and
Rescue Remedy and other de-stressors. This is very difficult for
him. Room air conditioners can be picked up pretty cheap this time of year
if that would be better than a fan.
