Hey Michael,
I feed mine Elegant Medleys as a treat, so yes, I think it's fine. It's not
the best food, but I don't think it's going to hurt them. I buy the wet and
dry Innova Evo online at Pet Food Direct usually. I got a 22% discount the
last time I ordered, which was a good deal. The
Higher quality food means less eaten due to cats eat until they are
nutritionally full, then stop (theoretically).
High content of good meats,less grain, less need for intake.
My cats also have done very well on the EVO CORE.
Shiniercoats, brighter eyes chronic cats feeling looking better
The gun, the license, and all the gear and money spent to hunt a deer would buy
a great amount of meat (for people who need meat to feed their families) at the
grocery store...
I have hunters in my family. Some with money and some without. The ones
without could SAVE money by not hunting,
Angela,
I'm so sorry for your loss. If your other cats are vaccinated, your chances
are very good that your other cats will test negative. Also, the older your
cats are the better the chances that they did not pick up the virus. Keeping
my fingers crossed for your test results.

did find a potential artical but you have to have a paid subscription to

Quick question: I forgot how you came to test them in the first place.? Are
they new adoptees or is one of them sick?
Hi Wendy,
To answer your question, they ended up being tested because the Vet asked Jeff
if he wanted them tested.? He didn't know what to say, so he just said yes.? I

Sorry, but I don't think Peta is a good source for *anything*.
I'm an omnivore, but my cats are obligate carnivores. Which means
they eat meat based food and always will.

Your enclosure sounds really cool.
I don't think my HOA would go for it and I don't want to draw any more
attention to the number of cats I have than necessary.

Even if he is not eating, if you can get a tablespoon of Nutrical in your cat each day, you will stave off fatty liver disease. Nutrical is a high calorie food supplement that comes in a gel form you squeeze out of a tube-- very easy to mix into wet food. You can get a tube of Nutrical from your

I'm not going to have much info for you on FeLV other than you've come to

treatments. As for your cat being spastic at the vet, try giving him Rescue

Hi Jessica
Getting some Nutrical into him is a good idea if you cannot get him
to eat or drink anything else.
You can put the gel on the tip of his nose or his paw so that he will
lick it off. Can you manage to give him
the Clavamox? I hope that you can get him to eat, or at least get

How did the transfer go? How did Nosey react to her 'mother'?
How are you and your mom doing?
Hoping it was a very happy ending.

Oh yes, an additional update. The transfer went well. I don't think her owner (it was the husband that picked her up) knew Nosey could function so well as she did with us. He saw the room she stayed in and we told him that she stayed in her crate at night (my mom is a firm believer in
Oh yes, I forgot that, if you can't get the Nutrical in him with food or baby food, for me and my cat, putting it on his nose worked like a charm. I would put a whole glob of it on his nose- covering the skin/fleshy part, and even some of the fury part, and he would lick it off every time. He
I wanted to get this out to the Felv group because I know everyone is spread all over the county and there are some of you in California. I know a lot of you have shelters, do rescues, and/or work with shelters, so I thought this group would just be a good resource because you just never know...
Great news Caroline!

I've got two fosters that need homes, and I'm certain it will be very
difficult to find what I consider a suitable home around here. I want to

Just an update on the situation with Grizzabella and Poppy. I stopped by my
