Re: Effie has her angel's wings
Del Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your precious Effie. She was so fortunate to have your forever, loving home and you were fortunate to have her loving, precious presence to add wonderful things to your life. They all teach us something I am sure. I know that my life is always richer for loving and caring for a precious being who nobody else wants. Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your good friend, Liz. I, too, had a wonderful friend named Liz who passed on last week. She was a bright, intelligent, animal loving free spirit who touched everyone she ever met. I'm sure your friend Liz was the same to you. Isn't it wonderful that she can be there at the Bridge to show Effie the ropes while they both await your arrival? Effie and Liz are truly 'Shining New Angels." I hope the following helps somewhat to ease your grief. Listen closely.. S.. there! did you hear that? just the softest rustle. a little breeze just barely moving the leaves on that tree over there? No.. close.but somehow not. The sound, more felt than heard when you walk barefoot thru soft grass in summer? No.. This was even more wonderful than those yet, sad too as it will never be heard again..this way The sound of a shining new angel taking flight -- Brenda. http://www.whiskersandwicks.com http://www.cheqnet.net/~bksmith "The only risk you ever run in befriending a cat is enriching yourself." - Colette Don't Take Your Organs To Heaven.

OT: Lovey and Merry Home! :) - Third Act! LONG!
Hi All.. Peggy, would you please pass this on to Tinley? Thanks. Also, thank you Dan for your leg of the trip. I understand it wasn't so special. :) You are a good man. I left off with going to meet Tom at the Wisconsin Dells. We arrived between 10:00 and 10:30 PM. We had a few words with Tom and thanked him again profusely. When he opened his car door the tom cat smell just about floored us. lol Poor Tom. :( We got the cats transferred to our car and thanked Tom again. He took off for home and we decided to find an out of the way place in the Dells. We were tired and knew the cats would appreciate getting out of the kennels. Also, since we hadn't brought any gas masks I knew we needed to do some cleaning up. lol Just a few blocks from the pick up we found a small place called The Malibu Inn. It is owned and operated by a very nice Turkish family. My daughter went to check to see if they had a quiet room and if they would accept cats. Janine thought she shouldn't say anything in case they wouldn't let us check in. I suggested she play it by ear. I wanted to stay in the car with the cats. Anyway, a little later I saw the man owner take her to a room so that she could check it out. She came over to the car and said she thought it was fine and we could check in with the cats as long as they remained kenneled. We just looked at each other because we knew we weren't going to leave them all night in the kennels, but we let the owner think that. I had brought Ozium spray for odors, a disinfectant to clean the kennels and spray things around the motel room. I've seen too many programs on the supposed cleanliness of motel/hotel room. :) We also brought Nature's Miracle in case Lovey sprayed. The man owner kept hanging around trying to be helpful and I just wanted him to leave us alone so that we could get the cats out of the car. We didn't want him to smell the inside of the car or the cats or he surely wouldn't have let us check in. lol We left the car running with the heat on and took everything in but the cats. We also didn't want to take a chance that one of the cats would get out the door while bringing things into the room. We got everything in and about to go get the cats in when he knocked on our door. I forget what he wanted, but he was just trying to be helpful. After we got rid of him, we ran out to the car (parked in front of our room) and got the cats into the room. Within seconds the entire room was permeated with Lovey's tom cat smell. It was intense. I asked my daughter to get a plastic bag out of the car and I let the cats out of the kennels. Lovey had a big blue towel and a folded sheet which were saturated with urine. I shoved those into the bag, tied it and asked Janine to put it in the trunk until we could find an outside waste container. I then disinfected his kennel, dried it out and put fresh bedding in. We also started spraying the parts of the room that the cats weren't in. They were afraid of the spray so just sprayed away from them. Meanwhile, Lovey and Merry are still eating canned and dry. I actually fed them before I cleaned out his kennel. Merry had a litter box in her kennel and she had gone in it, but there was no smell. When they finished eating they started exploring running over both beds, sniffing everything and just generally feeling free at last. :) We checked them both over and both appeared to be just fine. Lovey had litter stuck in his paws and we pulled out what we could without hurting him. Merry was very ladylike. It took about two hours of intermittent spraying of Ozium before we got rid of the tom cat smell. We were going to go out for a late dinner, but decided we didn't want to leave the cats alone in a strange room. So, we broke out some cheese (Wisconsiners you know? :) ) and crackers that we had brought along in case we got hungry, poured a glass of wine and laid back to watch some television while the cats explored. We had two double beds so they had a blast walking back and forth across our heads on the pillows like they were looking for the path to Nirvana. lol Lovey made himself at home after a couple of pieces of cheese on the pillow next to my daughter. Merry was also enjoying some cheese with me on my bed and she settled down by my side. When we were ready for bed Lovey actually had his head on Janine's hand on his pillow and she covered him with the blanket. That's how they slept all night. Merry and I slept together all night too. Unfortunately, Janine awoke after only 4 hours of sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. She said I was moaning and groaning in my sleep. Before I fell asleep my top left foot and toes were so swollen and bruised that I couldn't stand for even the sheet to lay on it. Janine said she couldn't believe that I slept through banging doors, vacuuming, etc. I guess I was pretty exhausted after being hurt fairly badly and then driving for

Re: off-topic: do hospices for pets exist?
I read about a hospice service somewhere on the west coast, but it is like hospice care for humans-- going to the home to help with pain relief, care, etc. for terminally ill animals, rather than a place that takes them. There is an FeLV sanctuary somewhere with a woman who has about 50 positives at any given time and she describes herself as providing them with hospice care. I do not have her info, but my mom might. My mom corresponded with her when I first took in my 6 positives.

Re: off-topic: do hospices for pets exist?
angel's gate is the only one that i know of; there are some "retirement homes," tho i don't have their links immediately at hand. terri's point is very well taken: we ARE the hospices for our FeLVs and other sick ones! at the sanctuary, one ot the things we ran across was WHO/WHAT the cat was: we were great for ferals and strays, because we were a warm place, with constant food, medical care, and, for those who wanted it, human attention. but cats who had been housecats did horribly. they had come to expect a very different level of, um, creature comforts than we could supply. some of that had to do with space and person-power, but even more with our state's Dept of Agriculture regs: we couldn't have anything that wasn't disinfectable--so no comfy armchairs, no bed with real mattresses, no carpeted cat-trees or upholestered cubby-holes. we had lots of washable pillows and beds and mats galore, but for a spoiled housecat, it just wasn't enough. i expect that finding volunteers to help in a hospice setting would be difficult, too--it got to where i stated very clearly in our volunteer write-ups that, in a FeLV sanctuary setting, cats DIE... most of the FeLV came in healthy, and were healthy for varying amounts of time--and volunteers still had trouble with their going to the bridge. imagine in a setting where sooner-rather-than-later demise is a given MC On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 12:50:03 -0600, MacKenzie, Kerry N. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi all > Just wondering---a friend asked me if I knew if there were hospices for > pets.

RE: Effie has her angel's wings
Del, I am so very sorry for Effie’s passing – I am sure that there isn’t really any words which can totally heal your pains – and I am crying with you though I don’t anything about Effie, but I know that she was and is such a special soul for you. I read a poem one time somewhere – it says something like “if a life is a journey, death is our destiny” – which brought me a very interesting perspective about “life” and death – We are all on the way to our destiny, and some gets there sooner than others – we want lives of our beloved animals to be as long and enjoyable possible – but eventually, we are all going to go to the same place (in my mind) – I am hoping that all my animals who left me first are waiting for me there if they did not already come back as another life – it’s certainly more difficult for us who are left here to deal with the pain than the ones who leave us perhaps – but please know that Effie’s is at a better place now, where there is no more pain – but her soul is still here with you – and she knows you love her and you miss her, and she returns you the same.

RE: Feral cat book...to the Lottery
Sally, what a great idea! I love the idea of "Who DESERVES to Win a Million Dollars." Lottery - it actually should interest LOTS of people in a similar way how the TV series "Rosanne" was so popular - if you know what I mean - Just have to figure out the way to solicit! We just visited Oreo - poor Oreo, he was so drugged up - he did not want to eat the treat (smoked Turkey) that we brought for him (it is one of his favorite)- he is very scared there, I think - the doc said that he is doing fine - but I know he is not feeling well from such a major surgery.

If I ever had any "extra" dollars to spend, it sure would be nice to do more than just dream about winning the lottery. When I think about all the good things I could do to help improve the lot of critters in this world...Oh, wouldn't it be loverly? And then when you read about what most people who win do with all the money and it makes you sick. Buying cars and boats and vacations and expensive homes and the like. Not so different than what far too many people/celebrities who accumulate great wealth do with their bounty...conspicuous over-consumption. Which is why I am always very impressed with those who do use some of their wealth to support worthy causes. But I've found it often isn't the wealthiest who are the most generous (comparitively) but those who have little to give, yet still give of themselves and their limited $-resources with all the generosity a caring heart can manage. It is one of the things that makes me question if we do have a creator up there who is looking out for us and pulling the strings. If that IS the case, I don't have a lot of respect for the way He/She is managing things down here. If it were up to me, I would make sure that the "lucky" ones to win those lotteries were people who would do the most good with it, and I sure wouldn't allow innocent children and critters to suffer the way they so often do. So, I am more inclined to see life as a big crap shoot in which "Shit Happens!" and you just have to deal with whatever comes your way and try to keep smiling, somehow. Being a good and kind and loving person (or the opposite) really doesn't have much to do with the cards you are dealt. The only real choice we have is how we choose to play whatever cards we get dealt. We can cry about it and complain or we can make the best of it that we are able. I'd like to see a game show "Who DESERVES to Win a Million Dollars." Maybe people could write in and tell what they would do if they were able to win a million dollars and those who had the most noble causes or worthy ideas would be given a chance to play and win. Fat chance though, when you consider that so many in our society are more interested in what happens to the glamorous celebrities and the death of someone like Princess Diana (not that Diana didn't attempt to do some good in the world) gains more attention than Mother Theresa, who died about the same time. Movie and sports stars make huge salaries for entertaining us, yet those who make far more important contributions to our society, like teachers, put in far more hours for salaries that are a pittance, by comparison. And then there are those stupid reality shows where people compete to win a million dollars and are rewarded for being conniving and ruthless instead of for the real skills that make survival in a REAL situation most meaningful...ingenuity, cooperation and a willingness to help others, not just yourself. You, Hideyo, are definitely of those who DESERVES to win a million dollars. Maybe what rescue groups need to do is start a lottery "pool" to shorten the odds some. Though I understand one has a better chance of beting struck by lightening than of winning a lottery. Anyhow...Dream on, and keep loving those feral cats and doing for them what no one else seems inclined to do. Even if we can't help them in big ways with a million dollars, we can help and save them, one deserving kitty soul at a time. By the way, are you aware that Newman's Own Organics (run by actor Paul Newman's youngest daughter, Nell) has come out with a line of healthy organic pet foods and all the profits, after taxes, are donated to animal welfare causes? Her father started Newman's Own some years ago to market salad dressing and pasta sauce (to start with) from his own private family recipes and all the profits are donated to education.

We're all connected, and stranger things have happened! I bought Newman's Own pet food from Wholefood's about 9 months ago but none of my bunch seemed thrilled with it, which is a great pity, because I'd much rather buy it knowing the profits were going to animal welfare.

My niece, Alisha, almost threw-up after seeing him absolutely covered with horrid monsters. They did use some toxic treatment to fix the problem. Loki was almost completely despondent, for the fleas sucking the life from him. After the fleas were eradicated, he suddenly sprang back to life with a vengeance! It brings a tear just thinking about it. Now, Loki at 9 months old has outlived all three of his siblings. Here is my theory... and I maybe total off here: It seems to me that the tiny baby kitties do not die in babyhood. It is only after they have lived months of their lives that FeLV symptoms occur. Therefore, I think they can handle certain treatments (at lesser kitten dosages of course) that are much more risky later on. I feel that if I can avoid giving my older 9 month old kitty toxins, that may or may not trigger the virus, I absolutely will. The comb right now is God to me. It is working, and I am happy again. I would recommend it to everyone who is able to comb their kitties. I recognize there are many reasons this is not possible. I now only have the one kitty and can lavish combing attention on him, so I have no reason to entertain any other solutions. I appreciate hearing of your experiences, and it will help many to know this. Thank you.

When I found my FeLV bottle babies (didn't know it at the time), they were just over 2 weeks old. They were so infested with fleas that they were bloody from them. At that very tender age I used just a tiny amount of Advantage on them. I put some Advantage on a Q-Tip and touched the back of their necks with it. That was all that was needed to get rid of the fleas and the kittens showed no ill effects. I know it's scary putting toxic stuff on our babies, but sometimes the alternative is worse. I have since switched to Revolution for controlling fleas because it's alcohol based (instead of oil) and doesn't seem to upset my animals as much as the Advantage. Revolution also claims to control ear mites and get rid of roundworms. I never use a full tube, even on the adults. I find I can stretch a tube between 3 or 4 cats and it seems just as effective with out having to douse them in poison.

Re: Effie has her angel's wings
I'm so very sorry, Del - it is so hard to lose our loved ones, and I'm know what you mean. Bless your heart. So many losses, so many tears. My sweet Calawalla will be checking in with them and showing them around. Gloria Effie left us this morning and my friend, Liz, who passed away last week, is taking care of her in heaven. The pain from the growing mass against her spine took away her quality of life. It was awfully hard. It IS hard. You understand, we continue to look at their favorite places and those places are empty ... and I cry for her. My heart is broken. Thank you everyone for support and feedback. Without these groups, she would never have lived this long or this well.

RE: Effie has her angel's wings
Title: Message Del, I am so sorry for the many losses you have had to endure. The ups and downs of rescue, disease and life itself is sometimes very hard. But there are the ups as well, the saving, the love and the caring and this is what it is all about. Take care, Joan -Original Message-From: Del Daniels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 8:54 PMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Effie has her angel's wings Effie left us this morning and my friend, Liz, who passed away last week, is taking care of her in heaven.
