Hi Amy. I didn't find out my boys were positive until they were in their

Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the list members- i've just joined upon
learning this afternoon that my much adored 10 year old cat is positive. We're
unsure as to how he contracted feluk as he was tested before we adopted him,
and the two cats we have adopted since then were both test
How wonderful of all of you to be there with Bashful all this time and right
up to the end. That alone will mean so much to her--a familiar face helping
her to be at peace and pain free. Having lost my Romeo to Lymphoma earlier
this year, I know how quick and devastating it is. Bravo to all of yo
Bashful is of course so fortunate to have you all - what a great

I'm so sorry to hear about Bashful, Heather. Prayers for Pepper,
meantime. I do hope she doesn't become chronically depressed. This is
the first time I've heard of an active attempt to treat feral cats'

difficult it is.
Hugs and
Heather, I am so sorry for your loss of Bashful. It sounds like you all worked
together to keep her as healthy and happy for as long as possible. You chose
to let her pass painlessly...bless you and everyone who works with ferals.

when the deepest pain passes, you'll realize what a gift you've given her by
noticing she was missing, and was ill, and doing all that you could, and
granting her a safe and gentle passage.
