ONLY PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTY IS THAT ANIMAL CONTROL IS TAKE IT OUT AND SHOT IT BE
IT DOG OR CAT. WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER RESCUE GROUP BUT VERY FEW ANIMALS GET TO
THEM FROM ANIMAL CONTROL. IF ANY OF MY CATS GO MISSING, I PATROL THE HOUSES
WITHIN 1 MILE AND THEN CALL PALS, THE RESUCE GROUP. COURSE, M
Hi Laura,
In many cases I would say this is true, because those animals are
going to be the easiest to find homes for, and lets face it the ones
that have health issues are going to cost the rescues lots of money to
"fix" and many if not most people who adopt from rescues don't want to
I would also like to add that the "picking and choosing" primarily occurs with
dog rescues, not cat rescues. We've had cat rescues take FeLV+ cats from us,
cats with one eye, cats with real problems, very senior cats. It's not all of
them, by any means, but quite a few of the dog rescues who tak
Shelters don't kill cats. The public does. I work for a county shelter and yes,
we do euthanize. As few animals as possible, but we do euthanize. It isn't the
shelters' fault. They get incredible numbers of animals dumped on them every
day. Most of our cats are friendly cats picked up as strays.

Kill shelters kill more cats than ANYTHING else in the US. More than any
disease, more than old age, more than being hit by cars or accidents or
anything you can think of.
I have not lost any cats to complications of FELV, but I have lost them to
heart attack, chronic renal fail

vet wants to retest him when he returns in 3 weeks this time i think with the
elisa.
i thought she said sport wasn't positive for felv but maybe she said the test
she ran (ifa) didn't show sport as being positive for
