I am very sad to let everyone know that Hobbs passed away Sunday afternoon at 12:48 p.m. His caregiver, Jann, woke up Saturday and dashed around to replenish suppliesbut when she got home he was clearly declining. She felt he was suffering and made the decision on Sunday to cease force

Thank you everyone, for your kind thoughts. Hobbs was just over a year old, they were about 6 weeks old when we found them mid-April of 2007. I am wondering what others' experiences have been with kittens born with leukemia, and how long they have lived. Thank you all for your prayers for Sissy

My experience with leukemia positive kittens has been that they do not live more than two or three months. Hobbs' much longer life is no doubt due to the love and great care by those who touched him after he was rescued. You should all be proud of what you did for him. My condolences to all

Dearest Heather and Jann, I was saddened to read that Hobbs has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The two of you gave him a wonderful year he wouldn't otherwise have had. We love them, care for them, and in the end let them go. You asked how long FeLV+ kittens live. Each day of life with

Laurie, I totally agree with you about herpes and stress level. I told you folks about the rescued Persian, Snowy, I adopted. She was a very sick girl for 2 months and the foster mom got her healthy. Her eyes were swollen shut and she also had a URI. Since we've had her we have done
