Re: [Felvtalk] opinions on strange situation(kitty to adopt)

So this woman is a rescue type person? How did you come into contact? Wonder if any local rescues or shelters know of her. It is all odd, could just be emotional issues. Scent from my wireless handheld litterbox =^..^= On Jan 19, 2011, at 11:25 PM, Emeraldkittee wrote: thanks, Laurie,

Re: [Felvtalk] opinions on strange situation(kitty to adopt)

I will write more when I can get to a computer but my gut (from a distance knowing far less than you so perhaps not entitled to a 'gut' on this:) is that yes, this woman has issues (or sometimes 'normal' people the issue is that they are too preoccupied with their own lives) and the cat nee

Re: [Felvtalk] potential kitty tested negative

Breaks my heart thinking of how many cats lives are ruined, or lost, based on a single test that might not even be correct. Scent from my wireless handheld litterbox =^..^= On Jan 18, 2011, at 10:19 PM, Emeraldkittee wrote: Thanks, everyone :) there's lots of educating to do! --- On Tu

Re: [Felvtalk] Question on taking in kitten or not.

Hi Peggy, Here is an example, when I rescued a double positive Mama and her kittens, at first (6 weeks old, and pulled from Mom at that point) 2 tested double positive, the other two positive for Fiv only. A vet and another rescuer told me that with kittens from an felv+ Mom sometimes the

Re: [Felvtalk] Helping kitty with extreme congestion

If no nebulizer you cam do a humidifier or sit kitty in a carrier/ bathroom with hot steamy shower. Not as good as a nebulizer but it's been suggested to me before. Scent from my wireless handheld litterbox =^..^= On Dec 6, 2010, at 5:37 PM, Melinda Kerr wrote: As I wrote in my previous pos

Re: Jaws Please add to the CLS :(

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Jaws...just from the description he was obviously very special. We just rescued a kitten who had been stuck in a car engine for 2 days, and will give our "Otto" lots of love and a kiss in Jaws' memory. We are fortunate that Otto didn't get hurt. I had a res

Re: Add to CLS - Muffin - (non FELV)

I am very sorry to hear about Muffin, it sounds like she is about the same age as Sissy and Hobbs, and Shennanigans, I pray that they are all playing together now, interrupted only by naps and reminders that they are well loved and missed here. Bless you for helping shelter kitties! On Tue, Jul 1,

I am catching up as I haven't had much pc time till I got back to work this week (and it's year end at work), I really thank you all, Lynne, Diane, Sharyl, Mary Christine and Debbie, for your sentiments. Friday I sent Jann a link to the archives so she could read as well and it's meant very much

Sissy has joined Hobbs, 6/27/08

With much sadness, I wanted to share with everyone that Hobbs' sister, Sissy, has now joined him. The loss of her dear brother affected Sissy very much, which was to be expected as they were quite bonded, and she began to take a similar road as Hobbs did in his final days. Their people-Mom Jan

Re: Hobbs, May 4, 2008 Question for Beth Noren

Beth (Noren)- For your two surviving 2 year old FELV kitties, are there supplements you've used or anything in particular you attribute to them doing so well? Thank you all for your condolences and thoughts, I sent Jann a link to the archives so that she would know that many thoughts are with her

Re: Hobbs, May 4, 2008

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

Hobbs, May 4, 2008

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 feedi

Update on Hobbs

Hi Everyone- Hobbs' caregiver, Jann, also preferred him to be at home and did have them show her how to do meds and feels ok doing it and has already startedthe feedings are kind of tough, and he's on many meds (Densyl, Baytril, Amox., Argenine, Cartinine, Cypro. appetite stimulant, and I thin

Re: Hobbs, more info--Liver

Hi everyone, I thank you all so much for your caring & insightful replies! It appears the problem is Hobbs' liver, his bilirubin is very high. They are suggesting a regimen of meds including Denocil, baytril, amox., Cartinine & Arginine, and fluids. BW suggested an infection which may be the

Hobbs, 1 Yr. old FELV, crashing hard

Hello, I first joined this group a year ago in regards to a double-positive Mom and her kittens. All kittens cleared FIV, remained + for Leuk. Only the two who stayed together remain, and one has crashed hard. I am not his caretaker but what I know is, he had a dental a little over a month ago

FELV+ Blind Siamese at Animal Control

Our local AS has a 10-year old blind Siamese kitty who was going to be adopted, then tested + for Leukemia. We are in Tampa, Florida, and none of us has been able to find a home or foster for this kitty who will be euthanized today. I pardon for the urgent-placement type of message and hope it's

Beautiful Leuk+ kitten needs place today, vet will PTS

I know this is a long shot, but this beautiful little girl has stolen many hearts & is very sweet, she has long, charcoal fur and has been through a lot. She was dumped in the lot at a local vet's in Tampa, FL. A tech took her in, she first tested light + for Leuk. and now has retested positive

Re: "Whitey"

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as a white kitty with 2 differently colored eyes, isn't there a good chance this kitty is deaf? Just wanted to mention since that impacts the safety of being outside. Thank you for helping this kitty, she sounds beautiful! We had an all-white rescue this

I want to thank everyone for their care & concern for the kittens and Mom I posted about. If I had a spare room or something I could at least keep the one kitten who is being sent to the sanctuary tomorrow (that we don't want it to go to) but I don't even have a room to put it in temporarily, I'm

FELV kittens

Hello- I am new to this group, having trapped an injured Mom kitty at my new job, who turned out to be FELV & FIV positive and a nursing Mom. This was in April, I had 3 injured cats in my first two weeks of changing jobs, I work with ferals and it's been one of those years...it's especially sad
