I had double pos a few years back - Mr. Black Kitty (MBK) - course he was kind of scraggly and off the street when I got him. I did no special medical treatments, but did use special food at some point to stop diarrhea, worked great. He broke one of his frail legs, but the vet couldn't

We definitely can't afford Interferon Alpha for someone else's cat. I so wish we could afford to take care of everyone's cat that needed it, but we just can't. He is happy right now On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 6:15 AM, Gloria Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had double pos a few years back -

Well, the point for me is that this cat is not our cat. We have to shut things off somewhere. Donations are not to where we can pay for things like that. On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 6:08 PM, Gloria B. Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DIfferent vets sell it at different prices. If you get the right
