Isn't that the truth. We have cats that I can put tuna in front of and they won't touch it. Then we had the one who would only eat the Wal Mart brand Albacore tuna. When we were bottle feeding we had a horrible time with some of them - they would still be drinking ONLY KMR if allowed. I remember

There's no such thing as placing an FeLV+ cat quicklyespecially an
unneutered male who thus far does not get along with other cats.
Getting him neutered will go a long ways towards helping him get along with
other cats. And n ot having him neutered pretty much guarantees issues.
I think I am really lucky all mine eat the medium end dry food.

Would you recommend Epogen or Winstrol instead of a transfusion or in addition
(like after the transfusion)? No one has mentioned either of them. I can't
afford to keep paying for office visits in addition to the treatments. But
I'll try calling my vet to see if they'd do either of them.
You can't afford to overpay on anything, including a neuter, and it's really
hard to find a placement, permanent or foster, for an unaltered male cat. It
takes time after the neuter to get the testosterone out of a cat's system and

Hey Marissa,
Epogen is basically the same thing as Procrit for
