Foster Home urgently needed for FeLV cat

[Mississauga Animal Rescue Service]

I run Mississauga Animal Rescue, in Mississauga, Ont, Canada and today picked up an injured male cat.  "Jorge" is six years old (DSH grey) and aside from testing positive for Leukemia is scheduled to have his hind right leg amputated due to a very serious injury that went untreated for some time and has now turned to gangrene. The leg cannot be saved and he will require a few weeks hospitalization to get back to health. All this we are willing to take care of, but the dilemma now is where to house him. Mississauga Animal Rescue is willing to cover all his expenses (veterinary and otherwise) for the duration of his life, but we need to find a safe, caring, nurturing home without uninfected cats. We do not have any space available in our present network of foster homes, as everyone is already overloaded with cats and cannot risk infecting other cats. The vaccine for FeLV is effective, but nothing can give 100% guarantee that other cats won't also become infected. If anyone has a space in their home and heart to welcome Jorge we would love to hear from you.   Thank you for your time, Cindy
