Kelly,

Please contact me off list about this kitty.

I would love to know exactly what condition is "treatable" and what treatment 
would make him "very infectious" beyond being as infectious as he is now.

Hey folks, got an emergency with a possible FELV+ cat in Austin, Texas.  He's 
had one snap test (and that's with the felv/fiv/heartworm test, which we know 
there are a lot of false +s with).  There is no one to hold him for a 
confirmatory IFA.  

Someone wrote me asking for help, this is her description of him:

"He is slated to be euthanized at 5pm today. This boy is very affectionate, 
loving to be held, petted, scratched, etc. He was even purring while being 
petted at the counter at the vet's office with all the strange scents and 
animal noises going on! 

He's pretty sick at the moment. Vet says he's extremely anemic. That's why he 
hasn't been eating much. And the heat has exacerbated the problem since he's 
been an outdoor cat. Vet also says the condition is treatable, but the 
treatment makes him very infectious. So what he needs is an indoor home either 
in a one-cat household or in a house where all the cats are feline leukemia 
positive. 

It's breaking my heart because he's such a sweetie. I'm hoping to find someone 
who can provide a home for this baby so he won't have to be euthanized."

[Natalie]

Kelley, do you have any personal friends whom you might call on for a big
favor?  Are there any FeLV groups that could be called on, not necessarily
in Austin, but in the area?  It's such a shame, because this cat may just
have had a false positive...

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX

[Kelley Saveika]

I can't even get anyone to hold on to a healthy kitten temporarily - all my
favors are called in long ago, and I've even having problems placing barn
cats.  .  We could start treatment, but this lady gets more attached to this
cat by the day and it really is not fair to her (or the cat) to put him
through treatment and then have him PTS.   We have an FELV sanctuary, but
unfortunately they only take in cats when there is money to be made off
them.

We did ship a cat to Best Friends once, but they do not always have room
either.

Like I said, this list has always been my go-to resource for FELV cats and I
have found placement for every single one in the past.

It is possible he has a false positive, but as he is anemic and sick, I'm
leaning towards true +.  Unfortunately as I said there is no one to hold him
for 6 weeks and if we put him back outside he will be dead in 6 weeks.

Yup sounds weird, I'm curious too.  Sounds like maybe he's getting  
sick and anemic from the FELV, but you never know, could just have  
something simple.

Hey folks, got an emergency with a possible FELV+ cat in Austin,  
Texas.  He's had one snap test (and that's with the felv/fiv/ 
heartworm test, which we know there are a lot of false +s with).   
There is no one to hold him for a confirmatory IFA.


Someone wrote me asking for help, this is her description of him:

"He is slated to be euthanized at 5pm today. This boy is very  
affectionate, loving to be held, petted, scratched, etc. He was even  
purring while being petted at the counter at the vet's office with  
all the strange scents and animal noises going on!


He's pretty sick at the moment. Vet says he's extremely anemic.  
That's why he hasn't been eating much. And the heat has exacerbated  
the problem since he's been an outdoor cat. Vet also says the  
condition is treatable, but the treatment makes him very infectious.  
So what he needs is an indoor home either in a one-cat household or  
in a house where all the cats are feline leukemia positive.


It's breaking my heart because he's such a sweetie. I'm hoping to  
find someone who can provide a home for this baby so he won't have  
to be euthanized."

In the end it doesn't matter, we will not have time to find out if I don't
find placement by tomorrow.

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX

[Second Chance Meows]

Kelly,
 I can understand the second test and yea you need to wait that time. Im sorry 
that you cant find anyone in your area to hold the cat for the 6 weeks but 
please DON'T try and put down sanctuaries.  We like any rescue look for 
donations and the good will of people to help us help the animals. Yes almost 
all sanctuaries that take an animal for life ask for fees( some more than 
others) but your talking the care and vetting for what could be 10 or so years 
and with FeLV that can get really expensive.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a foster for him, and i pray that he is 
- so he can be adopted.

I can't even get anyone to hold on to a healthy kitten temporarily - all my 
favors are called in long ago, and I've even having problems placing barn 
cats.  .  We could start treatment, but this lady gets more attached to this 
cat by the day and it really is not fair to her (or the cat) to put him through 
treatment and then have him PTS.   We have an FELV sanctuary, but unfortunately 
they only take in cats when there is money to be made off them.

We did ship a cat to Best Friends once, but they do not always have room either.

Like I said, this list has always been my go-to resource for FELV cats and I 
have found placement for every single one in the past.

It is possible he has a false positive, but as he is anemic and sick, I'm 
leaning towards true +.  Unfortunately as I said there is no one to hold him 
for 6 weeks and if we put him back outside he will be dead in 6 weeks.

I am not putting down sanctuaries or your sanctuary.  I know Crash's Landing
and you, among others,  do wonderful work.  This particular person brings in
tens of thousands of dollars in donations and she does it, in MY opinion, in
an underhanded way.   This is a person who has done very bad things to me,
which I will not go into, which of course colors my opinion of her.

By the way, are you willing to take him?:)

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX

[dlgegg]

The prblem with rescue groups right now, is that with people loosing jobs and 
homes, there is no more room.  We have 3 groups within driving distance here 
and they and their fosters are all full up.  They have had to turn animals away 
because they do not have enough room or people to care for them.  That is one 
reason why I am hoping to build an outdoor shelter, I could take in more cats 
then.  Right now, I am full up with 7 indoor/outdoor cats.  Can't really afford 
to feed and buy litter for more.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feathers or a brush

[dlgegg]

What she needs most is time to learn that she can trust you.  Shorty took 8 
months before I could pick him up.  He ate from my hand and then on day let me 
scratch under his chin.  That felt good so next day I got to rub his head. Then 
things started comin much faster.   You just have to keep tryin whatever comes 
to you and if you feel good about doing it, go for it.  She will let you know 
it the time is right.

I can't even get anyone to hold on to a healthy kitten temporarily - all my 
favors are called in long ago, and I've even having problems placing barn cats. 
 .  We could start treatment, but this lady gets more attached to this cat by 
the day and it really is not fair to her (or the cat) to put him through 
treatment and then have him PTS.   We have an FELV sanctuary, but unfortunately 
they only take in cats when there is money to be made off them.

We did ship a cat to Best Friends once, but they do not always have room either.

Like I said, this list has always been my go-to resource for FELV cats and I 
have found placement for every single one in the past.

It is possible he has a false positive, but as he is anemic and sick, I'm 
leaning towards true +.  Unfortunately as I said there is no one to hold him 
for 6 weeks and if we put him back outside he will be dead in 6 weeks.

Hey folks, got an emergency with a possible FELV+ cat in Austin, Texas.  He's 
had one snap test (and that's with the felv/fiv/heartworm test, which we know 
there are a lot of false +s with).  There is no one to hold him for a 
confirmatory IFA.  

Someone wrote me asking for help, this is her description of him:

"He is slated to be euthanized at 5pm today. This boy is very affectionate, 
loving to be held, petted, scratched, etc. He was even purring while being 
petted at the counter at the vet's office with all the strange scents and 
animal noises going on! 

He's pretty sick at the moment. Vet says he's extremely anemic. That's why he 
hasn't been eating much. And the heat has exacerbated the problem since he's 
been an outdoor cat. Vet also says the condition is treatable, but the 
treatment makes him very infectious. So what he needs is an indoor home either 
in a one-cat household or in a house where all the cats are feline leukemia 
positive. 

It's breaking my heart because he's such a sweetie. I'm hoping to find someone 
who can provide a home for this baby so he won't have to be euthanized."

I've asked for pics & etc

I also asked for an extra day which is hopefully being negotiated.  I know 
someone on this list has room for a wonderful survivor of this horrible Texas 
heat and drought.

I've gotten some wonderful kitties placed as a result of this list (just ask 
their moms) so am hoping we can pull a rabbit out of a hat one more time!

[Felvtalk] NYC ACC rescued cat felv+ and in need of home

[TANYA NOE]

Please read and go to this great girls link, if you know anyone who can give 
this girl a home please forward it on: 

New York NY - Jessica was relinquished to ACC by her colony caretaker because 
she wasn't eating well. She was one night away from death when she was pulled 
by a rescue group. It turned out she only needed some minor dental work, which 
has been done.

After being rescued we learned that Jessica is both friendly and also FeLV+. 
She belongs in a home because she is sweet and loving and enjoys human 
companionship. As you can see, she is also a beautiful girl, mostly white with 
calico markings on her body and tail. She now eats like a champ, uses her 
litter box perfectly and wants nothing more than to hang out with you, rub 
against your legs, sit on your lap for petting.

Jessica is about 1 - 2 years old and at this time has no symptoms of illness. 
However, she should be homed as an only cat, or in a household with another 
FeLV+ cat. The lifespan of FeLV+ cats varies greatly. In a stress-free 
environment, fed a good quality diet, Jessica is likely to have many healthy 
years ahead of her.

http://www.bestfriends.org/theanimals/pdfs/cats/catfelv.pdf

Please contact Bekah Wilcox on Facebook or email beka...@gmail.com if you can 
offer Jessica a home.

[Felvtalk] My 1 year old just diagnosed

[Marcia Baronda]

Hi everyone!  My one year old sweet litle boy was just diagnosed. I have a 
million questions and hope to learn a lot from all of you. This is every hard 
to swallow. I have 3 other adult cats in myj house that have not been 
vaccinated for felv. I didn't see a reason for it, I didn't trust the vaccine 
and I am sorry now. Funny thing is, is that I tried so hard to keep my cats 
healthy. I wouldn't even wear my shoes in the house for fear I would carry 
something in!
Anyway, my little boy Fletch has a fever, horrible looking coat and I can feel 
his hipbones and some of his backbone. He continues to eat and drink ok. They 
are on a grain free diet and have a water fountain.
Thanks so much for being here.
