Thanks for the kind words, Jean - glad I had time to do it and hope it
helps in some way. I didn't know about that group. And re Jennifer,
I found a couple of messages in the archives - her phone number shows
up at 814-641-7160
-------------------------------------------------------
My name is Jennifer Reihart and I run a hospice center/rescue for cats
with FeLv. I have been doing it for over 6 years and have gotten cats
from all over the eastern US. OH, NY, NJ, PA, NC, and even as far as
Texas. We have a huge house, and take in cats from different areas,
and various backgrounds and give them a place to call home. I am
independent, my husband and I do this on our own, and out of love for
these special cats. They have free run of the home, and get lots of
love and attention. We currently have 13, and they all have their own
space, however at night our bed is covered in cats.
I have gotten several cats from FeLv.org and have given them a loving
home. We have had 3 live past 9, most live until 5 or 6, we have one
that is 7. We don't do anything special, they get good cat food, wet
in the morning-dry throughout the day. But what I think is our secret
to having them live longer is lots of love. they are all used to being
petted, kissed, and made over. Each one has it's own special
personality, that's what I love about cats, no two are the same.
I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. We have worked a
little with the Marley fund in NC, but mostly we take cats from
various rescue groups and individuals who are desperate to find a good
home for their cats. We do insist they bring the cat's here so that
they can see the love and attention we give the cats. This set's their
mind at ease, and makes the transition easier.

Hi again--
One of the wonderful members here -- Gloria -- signed on to Facebook
and gave the poster some good info on dealing with a FELV+ kitty.
Thank you so much! I hope the person fostering the kitty can find a
good place for it.
I have another question. Three years ago, I placed a FELV+ kitty,
Aries, in a home/haven in Pennsylvania owned by a Jennifer R. I
tried to email her yesterday, but her email abounced.
Jennifer? Are you out there? Please email me offlist if you are.
Thanks again for everything, Felvtalkers! Your work is important,
and very very appreciated.
Regards,
Jean

Please note: For some bizarre reason, Yahoo has been depositing a
lot of my legitimate email into my BULK folder, and putting spam in
my inbox. I think they're tweaking their spam settings, but it's
causing problems with mail delivery.
If you do not hear back from me in a timely manner and you are
expecting a response, please do not think I'm ignoring you. It's
likely I have not received your message. If you have my telephone
number, please call it. You can also email again -- that works
sometimes. Otherwise, I check the bulk folder more frequently than I
did, and I hopefully will find your message.
