Keep your spirits up -- it is your love and healing that help Rosie. Where
would she be without you? The temporary aspect, the fact that the cat lives
a fraction of the human (and the sick cat even less) is one of the hardest
things in life. Still, it is a blessing to both cat and
Alice, I am so sorry to read this. You have done everything possible to help
Rosie beat this. You have given Rosie and the others so much love. So many

You all are in our thoughts and prayers

Very well said, Bonnie.
Alice, I am so sorry to hear this about Rosie, but you are doing all you can
do, and Rosie is very lucky to have you. After rescuing a felv cat just three
weeks ago, I have learned so much just seeing all the emails that come through
regarding this dreadful disease.

In the newspaper today:
House cats are the #1 predator of wild birds. The American Bird Conservancy
estimates up to 500 million birds per year are killed by cats. About 400,000
are killed yearly by wind turbines (less than 20% of the number killed by
cats). So now we have another reason to
Amen to that!
Whenever the cat that we brought back from England got out by accident (not
by us), she'd be back in five minutes flat with a bird in her mouth!
In addition, about 50% of migrating birds from South America also die by the
time they get here
I love the idea of wind power, but the
One thought process that I've run into is that a healthy adult cat
(FELV negative) has a hearty enough immune system to successfully deal
with the FELV virus without acquiring it.
I can't see that vaccinating them at this point would be of value.

Alice,
I am so sorry to hear Rosie's mass has returned. Could this be to the decrease
in pred? If so, could an increase help things out again? I am so sorry to
hear that this is happening.
Little Rosie, and Pirate Miso and Sachi are in my thoughts and prayers (and you
too, of course!)
Sorry but that information is outdated or biased.
The number one killer of birds is humans due to habitat loss or construction

I've never had adults with no symptoms, only a kitten that died years ago.

I see there are a lot of people that take care of ferals and get tired of
hearing all the reasons they should be killed, not TNR'd. My answer is always
Even if they do kill a lot of birds, TNR is the way to reduce the population
so TNR is the best way to save the birds.

I've tried using those statistics on people who refuse to contain their cats,
thinking they MIGHT care about wildlife even though they clearly aren't
concerned with their cats' own safety. Hasn't worked. There are also people out

Yes, humans have negatively impacted the planet in a number of ways, to be

My rationale in telling adopters is: Cats that are kept indoors cost cat
owners a lot less money spent at the vet than those that go outdoors - it
has actually been proven. Cats that go out are in danger of contracting
diseases from other cats, getting injuries from fights with other cats
