Malone, I am very sorry that I offended you. I was just running my mouth, not thinking that what I was saying was offensive. It takes A LOT to offend me, so, sometimes I don't realize that I am being obnoxious. :( It's just a shield I guess I have due to life happening. Anyway, I am

I have not heard anything. I love Best Friends and they are probably the most equipped of anyone in the country to treat FELV cats. It is my understanding they have one who is 20. They can get all the latest, most expensive, experimental stuff, because they are a 24 million dollar a year

But there's a big difference between hunting for food and making a fur coat for someone who is not nomadic and living on the range in Nunavut, Canada. There's no difference as far as the animal is concerned. Either way, their life is taken. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, they (BF) do very good things, and if huggy feely works, then great, whatever works. I know they very qualified to care for felv+ cats, but I also wonder how many of the 400 are felv+? And I wonder how many they could responsibly absorb? I am sure they know, they seem to REALLY have

They had an adoption day this weekend to which they brought 50 cats and 41 of them were adopted. They also raised $900. So I don't think they will need to absorb all that many into their main facilities. They do know what they can handle, I'm told they get 200 calls a week for help, and turn

I am sure w/ their conmnections they will be able to place many. Lots of folks will want to help out, and want one of the FLOCK kitties I am sure. That's what happened during that horrible situation in SA a few years ago, where Princess Purr-la came from. 240 cats, w/ one half already

Hi Wendy Yes she is grey. My unimaginative BF who loves the cats as much as I do calls my silver tabby grey puddy and wants to call her little grey puddy. He also used to have a double yellow head amazon parrot called yellow bird and another amazon called red bird. You get the idea. Oh yes just
