How can you make sure that someone who wants to adopt your cat is legitimate?
Has anyone ever offered to adopt your cat here on felvtalk or have you found
someone here that you called to ask if they could adopt your cat? If so, how
did you make sure they are reputable?
Check with his vet
Anyone adopting an FeLV+ cat had best be on a first name
basis with a vet
Will the adopter allow you or someone you know to see how the
cats will be living ???
And are they willing to answer all your questions ???
Yes... I have adopted maybe 20 FeLV+ cats from this
What if I can't personally take the cat?
The adopter does not live in CA. I live in San Diego, CA.
He does answer all of my questions. The only thing he refuse to give me was his
address. Should I be concern? He says that he wouldn't like his address to slip
out and then have a line of people
I made a mistake. I live in Los Angeles not San Diego.

Tad,
Wow! Twenty cats.
I admire your kindness.
I will definitely ask a lot of questions.
I will check with her vet and personally take my cat to his new home.

I would want to see the place where the cat is going to be living.
You could offer to sign a confidentiality agreement.
I would recommend either doing a home visit before the adoption or deliver
the cat.

Reyna,
It's understandable. After all, people who adopt FeLV+ cats rarely turn any
away.
Their good heart cannot say NO.

Myself.. I would want to talk with some one who knew this place maybe
from this list or another
Adoption is always a risk and there is always a question if the alternative
is better or worse...
I adopted 6 cats from the Angel Wings things and I guess at one time that
was a good sanctuary but
Having that said Reyna you need to know where the cat will be going. You can't
just give the cat to anyone. A lot of people do not care about animals and do
horrible things to them.
I'm assuming someone will be taking the cat personally. Do you know who?
--- On Thu, 7/30/09, Reyna Castano
I'm not giving my cat to just anyone. I have spoken to the family.
Will never know them personally, face to face, but I have done my work and know
I can trust them. Besides, not long ago a FeLV cat from a member here was
adopted by the same family and she knows them personally. She has nothing
Another point to consider is that about 2/3rds of the FeLV+ cats have
gone on within one year But if you keep adopting them as one passes
on you eventually end up with a bunch of the 1/3rd that lives on for a
more near normal life... This is my situation now

I have offered to take this cat for life no matter how long or short it
might be, and give it a loving home with other cats to play with, a family
that cares about them and my own time, effort and funds to take care of them.
Reyna, I will be happy to give you references from rescue groups
Tad, you can talk to me. I've been to Michael's house, met his wife, kids and
the other cats that they have.

Please both Reyna and Michael, don't take other people's concerns personally.
It is good to check things out and be a little skeptical before handing over a
cat to someone you don't know.
Awhile back I took an FIV+ cat from Glendale, California. The people sending
teh cat wanted references,
No Address no cat ...

Anyone who wouldn't let you come over and see that cat is a big red
flag for me. You can't do that without an address.
