Re: one question
Hi :)I'm confused as to why your vet is against the FeLV vaccine. I would talk with him again about the vaccine. It's not 100% effective, but it is somewhat effective in most cats. I am mixing my cats, andmy other three have been vaccinated.My Pippin isn't on any medication at this time, so I can't speak to that. I would ask a specific question in your subject line about the vaccine, so people can respond. Many list members can't respond to every message, so the more specific you can get the better.Gina, Tigger, Taylor, Bob and Pippini Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:i saw in leslie's story that her cats need medication twice a day to stay healthy. can anyone kindly tell me which kind of medication is that? i talked with my vet to see if there is anything i can do to helpPrince, but he said no. i mentioned i read somewhere thatthere is medicine to boost the cat's immune system, and my doctor said that is true, but the effects for those medicine remain unclear and there is no solid evidence at all. he made the same comment about FeLV vaccine when i asked if i can just vaccine my other cats and then keep Prince with them. he said the effectiveness of the vaccine stays untestified, but there is serious side effect. isuggested on giving them FeLV vaccine in august during their annual exam, but my vetgave me afirm "no".can somebody explain a bit? thanks!

Re: one question
Mi Wu, It sounds to me like you need to find a different vet. He shouldn't be discouraging you from finding ways to support our kitty's immune function and good health. While it's true that most vets want to see documented proof in the form of reputable studies, they should remain open to anequdotal reports, or at least to their patient's wishes to try different, even if unproven remedies. No solid evidence does not equate to no beneficial response. Perhaps his comment was specific to whatever medicine you were asking about. From the little you've said about him, I'm surprised he didn't suggest you put Prince to sleep as soon as you found out he was pos. I don't know what he's talking about with his comment of a serious side effect with the felv vaccine. Perhaps he was talking about VAS (Vaccine Associated Sarcoma) which is possible with any vaccine. I've read articles stating that the chance of VAS is greater than a cat contracting felv and so they discourage people from getting the shot. Actually knowing that your neg cats are exposed to a pos puts them at greater risk then the general population though. Could you ask him to elaborate and then let us know what he has to say? I'm not sure what Leslie has Satch and Bea on. I know that she was concerned about sneezing and possible asthma, perhaps it has to do with that. Most everyone has their kitties on immune boosting supplements. If you don't get the response from the group you were looking for, post your question again with something more specific in the subject line.

re: Junior and Sally
Hi Sally,From what I am reading you don't need to make any decisions about putting Junior to sleep right this minute; is that correct? He has an upper respiratory infection that is being treated, and is he otherwise okay (other than being FeLV+), right? Why does the vet want to put him to sleep tomorrow?You've got a lot on your plate right now, and I can understand why you are emotionally drained. If Junior is basically alright despite the URI, why not just keep him separate for awhile from Tiny (like you are alreadydoing) and then make decisions as needed. It's too much to ask yourself to make decisions about all your kitties at one time. You need to process this.My thoughts and prayers are with you Sally.Gina Sally Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi,Everyday that goes by I am more confused. Junior went to the vet today. She treated him for the upper respiratory infection. I though all was good with the world. I called her this evening to let her know how junior was doing. I do think he is still running a temp, but I did not want to upset him anymore. She was preparing me to put him down maybe as soon as tomorrow. I know at least for this moment he is not ready to cross that bridge. I have separated him and Tiny. The other cats are still locked outside the bedrooms. And mostly stay outside for their own safety. I know this group is for the cats, but I am mentally, emotionally,and physically drained.I had reactive hypoglycemia this morning.I have ordered immuno-regulan on Kelly's advice. I now will have to talk the vet into giving it. I printed out the protocol for administering it.Does anyone out there know of vets in the Richmond VA area who may be willing to work with me.

Re: one question
Another thought is to find an alternative vet to compliment your regular vet (Again, hopefully a new regular vet). I have and the AV and RV talk to each other and work together. They may not always see eye to eye but they are willing to listen and try different things. This relationship has existed with both dogs and cats and conditions other the FeLV. In fact my RV sent me to the AV when I had a beagle with what we thought was disc trouble.

Re: VERY impt note about chipping Re: HAPPYHAPPYJOYJOY!!!!
Avid micro-chipping registration fee is $15.00 per animal. Avid has a registration program for eight pets for the total cost of $40.00. This is even worth using if you only have three animals because you save $5.00. There is a $4.00 surcharge for every time you update your personal information. If I am not mistaken Avid is the number one micro-chip company in the United States being used by animal shelters and rescue groups. Home Again is the second leading micro-chip company being used. I know in Chicago, Illinois that the city's animal control and Anti-cruelty Society (the biggest non-government agency) use Avid micro-chips on their animals. The group I volunteer for Precious Pets, Almost Home uses the Avid micro-chips in their rescue pets. You may want to check the shelters and rescue groups in your area to see what brand of micro-chips they are using. You see Avid micro-chip scanners do not read the Home Again micro-chips and vice a verse. There is a universal micro-chip scanner that can pick up all different types of micro-chips. The problem is that most shelters and rescue groups do not have one! The universal micro-chip scanner is very expensive! Since I started doing rescue, I encourage anybody that ask me about it to have their pet micro-chip! Food for thought! Precious Pets P. S. I am behind in reading the groups' posts.

They were feeding him, a girl (from the store?) brought him to the vet to see if he had a microchip, but the vet had a hard time and couldn't get a reading on it. They planned to bring him back the next day to try for a reading again. Meanwhile, the girl called her mom and told her "Mom, I found the nicest cat for you."

Re: Satch and Bea Lost postings
Ooops, I did havethem onthere, but I think I got to it through an Animal Planet link. Took them back off again today. It is crazy how many different lost lists there are and how uncoordinated they are with each other. I remember hearing this was a problem after Hurricane Katrina, but had no idea how disorganized the whole system is until this. Someone needs to come up with a listing (with links)by state of all the sites on which a lost pet could be posted. Anybody know if such a thing exists?

RE: Need someone to write to me please
Title: Message Hi Kayte and Crackers! Someone stole Leslie's carMonday morning--right in front of her eyes--with her 2 sweet FeLV babes still in it---as soon as she told the list, a bunch of the wonderful people on the list and Leslie herself combined forces to use every possible means under the sun to get her babes back...including bombarding media, which resulted in a TV appearance by Leslie last night...and --TA-DA!!!--the safe return of her babes! Satch first, then later, Bea! Hope you're feeling better now, Kayte, Kerry PS See Leslie's email of Monday: oh guys, my heart is so heavy and I think that my stinging eyes might just make me too tired to actually sleep tonight. I have read all of your posts and printed them to go over tonight and make sure that I follow all advice.I'll put below what I sent to news stations and newspapers, please send revisions to make it better. Do you think that I can resend it to them tomorrow? I'll also call tomorrow those that I sent to today and send to more that I think of. Of course assoon as it was sent I thought of ways to make it better, but I just wanted to get something off quickly. I'm so exhausted, and I've had to deal with regular stuff too like a replacement driver's license (trust me, the DMV is NOT where you want to be in this deflated mood - you actually feel like you belong there) and phone and rental car and prescriptions. Too bad they had to retake my photo at the DMV and now I'll have to remember this day. If the cats weren't involved I'd just be angry. As I walked out to catch him taking the car, as I touched the car, as I know that he heard my voice, that they heard my voice, my feelings of what if, what if, are so overwhelming. But as he took it. As he took them. As he drove away with the beings that I swore to protect, that I promised them I would protect, as he took them farther, is still taking them farther as minutes go into minutes, my despair, my hyperventilation is just going and going. I don't blame myself, it is so absurd. How could I have known? I couldn't have, so I don't blame myself. But I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing that they are out there. That it is raining and I don't know where they are. Oh, I keep forgetting to mention, I am in Portland, OR. They were taken from Vancouver, WA, I live in Portland. I don't want to take an Ambien tonight, because what if the police call, but I know that I won't sleep. As I don't have a computer at home there is nothing that I can do, but wait to get back to work and do more. I lay my head on all of your shoulders tonight and ask that you send your furbabies spirits to be with Satch and Beatrix. And maybe one or two to sleep next to me tonight. Hideyo, I hear you. I will find them. I will get them back. And they will be okay. I feel the thread. I feel it going to them and protecting them. I feel you all. I don't know anyone could do this with a child in the car. It would be evenmore unbearable. Anyway, on to class, no more to do tonight. Leslie --- Hello, My name is Leslie Nies and my car was stolen this morning at 6:30 am . I was loading up my car getting ready to drive home from a weekend at my boyfriends (he lives in Vancouver, I live in Portland)- which included overnight bag, book bag, and my two pet cats, Satchmo and Beatrix. I went inside to say goodbye and when I came back out, someone was backing my car out the driveway. The doors were unlocked, but the keys were in my pocket, so they must have hotwired it. I ran toward them yelling "hey" and "get out" and started banging on the windshield as they put it in drive. But they kept accelerating. My boyfriend was already on the phone with the police when I got back inside. Yes, they stole my car, but they also stole my cats! I can only believe that they didn't see them. It's been suggested to me by a couple of people that you might be interested in doing a story on it, and as far as I'm concerned, anything that might help me get them back is worth it. I've attached a picture of each of them, there are more on my phone, but that was in the car also. They are just the best cats and I am going out of my mind worrying about finding them now. They are both leukemia positive, which means that they have compromised immune systems (and why they are indoor only) and though they are currently healthy and rambunctious are on a preventive vitamin. I don't care about the car or the stuff in it, I just want my cats back. Both are microchipped, but neither have collars as they are indoor only cats. Let me tell you a little about them. Satchmo is a 6-yr old brown tabby cat. I rescued him from the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood two years ago. I started out fostering him, but ended up adotping him. When he came to me, he had a very severe kitty cold that he needed to be nursed through and immediately following that he developed

RE: pets911
That's terrible!!! It was confusing enough just trying to get two pets listed, I can't imagine what you volunteers went through trying to find multiple pets... Idid like the"MissingPetsNetwork", they have some sort of tie to the USDA, nicely organized by state and easy to use. Too bad someone just can't say "OK, this is the one, bye-bye all you other lists." But, I guesssome of the lists have commercial links that would make it difficult to get rid of them, and others just want to help in anyway they can.Too bad the pet community can't come to some sort of consensus about this, orget some kind of bill passed to help. Take care, Beth

What I learned
I just wanted to share this with you, looking back on the things that I will/won't do differently in the future. 1. Microchip everything. I should microchip the car. Even with the slight snag with Satch's chip, I feel that they would have sorted it out and gotten him to me. 2. Put a bumper sticker on your car. I hate bumper stickers, but putting out a notice on a nondescript white car - which matches the description of 90% of cars out there, it seems, I'm going to put a pink one on there from a CD store back home. License plates numbers are hard to remember and easy to remove - bumper stickers aren't. 3. Collars. I don't think that having the cats in a carrier would have been better - in fact maybe worse, because they wouldn't be able to leave the car, but even as indoor cats, I see how collars are a good idea. 4. Cut off switch in the car. Who would want this car? I felt, and still feel to some extent, but whether or not I know the answer to that is not the point. I don't know who and I don't know why, I just know that they did and if there's a simple fix to prevent it from happening again, even if it probably won't ever in my lifetime, I am going to take it in order to feel safer. 5. Be a member of this list for life. Give back, be open, because you will probably never meet such a wonderful and supportive group of people your entire life. Stay safe you all, I'm off to stiller waters - though I know that my tv-viewing public will be so sad by that. :) Leslie
Re: Max Please add to the CLS :(
Sherry I'm sorry to hear about Max. I don't remember you posting about him before. Do you feel up to telling us a little more about him? Does your boyfriend volunteer at the sanctuary too? I understand hesitating to tell your boyfriend, (is his name Roy?). Sad news can always wait just a little bit. When you're able, I wish you'd talk to us about the process you go through in coping with so much loss. How you've come to terms with it, how you are able to keep on doing your good work when you are constantly faced with heartache. Your words might help others in the midst of grief. If you feel it's too personal to talk about, forgive me for asking.

RE: The End.
Oh, LeslieI am crying again as I read your emails --- all I have to say.. which is my motto in my life --- one is everything happens for a reason (or reasons) and it will all work out Thanks to the adventure of Satch and Beatrix, I am hoping that public will have a different, more receptive perception of felk kitties.. I feel that this might be one reason why it happened what happened.. I dont know.. I agree with all the learning tips you posted in your another email.. Leslie, please send me pictures of your babies.. they are heroes and I am so glad that they are with you --- I also wanted to thank all of you to be such an inspiration for Satch and Beatrix.. you guys are just awesome I knew it before.. and I am feeling it again now.. Love to you all, Hideyo From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leslie Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:40 PM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: The End. Hello everyone! I'm sorry that it's taken so long to give you the recap, but the saga has continued. Okay, Beth's recount of how I got Satch is spot on - I found him through a call generated by the broadcast about 5 miles north of where the car was stolen. The confusion with the microchip reading was actually at the shelter that he's co-registered to. They just switched their computer system and have the files from 2004 on paper still - I know this because it took a couple of calls for me to convince them that Satch and I existed to them. So once I knew where Satch was, I figured that Beamight be in the same area - the fear that she'd been scared under a seat was there, but at least I had a place to start. So I took the flyers that I had in my car and went over to a nearby apartment complex - I really think that you guys, the spirits of all of our past cats were guiding me to this place - to put flyers on cars in the lot there (little did I know that if I'd continued further down one row I'd get to my own car! But that comes later...). Nina, this is when you called andI so feel thatthatlittle distraction of mind (my talking to you while putting out flyers) opens the motions of the body up to the will of the universe, my methodical flyer placement became a little sporadic as I told you the story and shared my excitement - moving across and up and over the rows, not just down them, I'm certain that this is when I put a flyer on the right car. About an hour later I got a call from Bea's microchip company, a girl in that apartment complex had seen one and took the sweet little kitten she'd found to the vet to get scanned. And it was Beatrix. The chip company gave me her phone number and I went right back over to pick her up. The first woman (who had been hoping that Satch would become their store mascot - evidently anytime someone opened the door to the back, he'd run in and go visit people) soundly refused the reward. The girl who found Beatrix was young - late teens, early 20's - and lived in a not so nice area. It would havebeen so easy for her to keep Bea, so Ifoisted a reward of $100 on her. I was just so appreciative that she called. Mywork, Full Sail Brewing, was so impressed with the story, they are sending the newswoman, Amy Troy, and the cameraman, Steve, $100 gift certificates each for a trip to the brewery in thanks for helping. So to answer the questions about needing more reward money - I am good,and for those who have sent funds, your money is so appreciated and has been/will be put to good use. For the reward for the girl, Iris, and to replace cat medications that were in the car. So more about last night below, but today the news station called, they wanted to do a follow up. I met just the cameraman at my apartment and told him why leukemia cats are so wonderful and why people shouldn't be afraid of adopting them, or keeping them when they test positive. I told him how the negative vibes of theviolence from a stranger had been overwhelmed by the positive vibes of the kindness of strangers. I thanked him and thanked him. Then I went back to the area that they were found on my lunch break and took a stab at looking for the car. I called the police department this morning to follow up on the messages I left last night, the operator said that she forwarded the messages to the responding officer's voicemail, but that he was off until Monday. IfI wanted to go look for the car, fine. If I found it, call 911. I thought that the chance of me finding this car were minimal - I don't know the area, don't know anywhere but that apartment complex. So I went there to start. I was driving down the rows of cars, and saw yet another white car two from the end. It was a Mazda. It was a Protege. It had my license plate! I started shaking, I couldn't believe it. The anger and fear of the last time I saw it came flooding back, I didn't know whether to stand by it or to run

Re: The End.
I've been waiting all day for your update. I was holding it together until you mentioned singing the praises of felv kitties in your follow up interview. The damn broke once again and the tears are flowing! I always feel connected to everyone's fur kids, but I feel like Satch and Bea's Godmother now! I feel like I should be sending them birthday cards with 5 bucks in them every year :). Go out and buy yourselves some catnip kids! You sure have all had yourselves quite an adventure! How did you do on that test? Hopefully the Angels were sticking around for that too. I can't believe you even found the car! Do you think the guy that took it had the window down and the food out thinking the cats would live there or some such nonsense? I'm sending out blessings to him too today. Keep a close eye on those two. The no stress rule has been shot completely out of the water! Do you have any Terramycin ointment in the house for Satch's eye? Swab it with a saline soaked cotton ball too. Oh my dear, hugs to you and those sweet protected babies! Ya done GOOD! Nina

I don't know who and I don't know why, I just know that they did and if there's a simple fix to prevent it from happening again, even if it probably won't ever in my lifetime, I am going to take it in order to feel safer. 5. Be a member of this list for life. Give back, be open, because you will probably never meet such a wonderful and supportive group of people your entire life. Stay safe you all, I'm off to stiller waters - though I know that my tv-viewing public will be so sad by that. :)Leslie Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail.

Nice words
Here is what Jen sent to all us volunteers..If it should be that I grow frail and weak,and pain should keep me from my sleep,then you must do what must be done,for this, the last battle, can't be won.You will be sad, I understand. Don't let the grief then stay your hand.For this day more than all the rest,your love and friendship stand the test.We've had so many happy years,what is to come can hold no fears.You'd not want me to suffer so;when the time comes, please let me go.Take me where my needs they'll tend,and stay with me, if you can, to the end.Hold me firm and speak to me,until my eyes no longer see.I know in time, you will see,it is a kindness you do for me.Although my tail its last was waved,from pain and suffering I've been saved.Don't grieve that it should be you,who must decide this thing to do.We've been so close, we two, these years,don't let your heart hold any tears. Smile...for we walked together for a little while. Author Unknown Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com. Check it out.
Re: Junior update
Little Black showed up this morning. I usually let her in long enough for her to get her fill without the other cats harassing her. The FeLV cats were closed up in the bedrooms. She ate in peace. As far as I know when I do see her she only eats once a day, but she gobbles up a lot of food during that time.

St. Francis - Original Message - From: Sally Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 7:32 AM Subject: Junior update HI everyone I think My server is sending mail again. All those emails were qued (sp) up and sent them at one sorry for the duplicates. Junior is still doing fine since his vet visit. He is asserting his self over Tiny. I try to separate them but this is a very small house and i hate keeping them totally couped up, because I am sure they think they are being punished. Tiny ran outside today. He loves the outdoors and could survive outside on his own if something happened to me. I did manage to catch him as he still is lovey-dovey to me. I tend to be a bit scattered and probably ADD. I forgot he was not in the bedroom when I opened the door to feed the other cats. I have l not seen Little Black for several days. She is semi wild and the other cats pick on her. Read, won't let her eat. I ordered the immuno-regulin and have not yet received it but I know I will have questions. Thanks for all the help. Junior did not survive getting hit by a car just to have this get him. I have not read emails this morning. I hope Leslie got her other cat back by now. I lost a cat two years ago and much as I searched and asked around never found him..he was such a funny cat. I still miss him. Sally -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
