Re: [Felvtalk] Desperate Rescuer
In Atlanta we have pet food pantries. You have to be income qualified. There may be something near her for that. Sometimes rescues also get good at a discount will sell to colony feeders.

Re: [Felvtalk] Desperate Rescuer
Another thought, our small rescue group in NC will get food donations from the public sometimes, and we usually give some of it to people in the community that need help. Maybe she could check with some of the local larger rescue groups in her area to see if they might have extra food? They might not publicize it, we don't.

Re: [Felvtalk] Desperate Rescuer
Also check the local pounds - ours has certain foods they prefer to use for a consistent diet (less tummy trouble). The other donated foods are often re-donated to feral feeders who agree to participate in TNR.

Re: [Felvtalk] Desperate Rescuer
Yes, ours has a community pantry, for the same reason.
Anyone can come and get food.

Re: [Felvtalk] FVRCP shots bad for FelV + cats
I have also had FelV + cats get dreadfully sick, and one died from the FVRCP shot. Now I never give them to positive cats. I just let them live a stress free life with lots of TLC for as long as they live. I have two positive cats who are 5 and still seem just fine, but most die in less than a year but sometimes they make it a bit longer. Lorrie 1) A negative IFA does NOT mean the cat is not FeLV positive. It simply means the virus is not replicating in his bone marrow. If a cat has a positive SNAP test, he is still positive. If you do get an IFA it is positive, it simply means he will not throw the virus off. 2) Those 3-way SNAP tests that test for heartworms are notoriously unreliable. Our shelter stopped using them after we had a slew of cats test postitive for FeLV. They were retested on the 2-way test twice, and came up negative. 3) It is too late now, but I would never give an FelV cat an FVRCP vaccine. I did that once to 2 sisters I had. One immediately became ill (she had been healthy up until then) died shortly afterward. Her sister died soon after. I have heard of other FeLV cats getting sick right after FVRCP vaccines. No need to stress their immune systems out unless there is some seriously good reason why you need to vaccinate. 4) I don't think L-Lysine can hurt. It's pretty cheap you can get it in a powder form you can sprinkle over their food. 5) I have used Interferon in the past, but from what I understand it takes a long time to work. I stopped because I felt like I was stressing the cats out too much with the daily medicine routine. Plus you have to give it to them the right way. You can't just squirt it randomly in their mouths. 6) I think the best thing you can do is feed a high-quality food keep stress down. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
