Re: [Felvtalk] Best litter for FeLV?

2013-11-16 Thread dlgegg
tINA, DO YOU SCOOP THE LITTER EACH DAY?  i DO WITH WORLD'S BEST AND IT LAST A 
LONG TIME,SO YOU SAVE MONEY EVEN THO IT IS EXPENSIVE.
I DON'T LIKE THOSE SELF CLEANING PANS.  i AM AFRAID THAT THE NOISE THEY MAKE 
WILL TURN THE CATS OFF. PLUS, I WOULD NEED 6 BOXES.  IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 10 - 
15 MINUTES MORNING AND NIGHT TO SCOOP AND THAT IS 6 LITTER BOXES WITH 5 CATS.  
THAT IS ALSO WHY I LIKE MY WORLD'S BEST, ONCE THE URINE OR STOOL IS COVERED, NO 
SMELL, EXCEPT FOR HARLEY, HIS IS ESPECIALLY FRAGRANT SO HIS SISTER DEE FOLLOWS 
HIM TO THE BOX AND COVERS FOR HIM SINCE HE DOES NOT FEEL COVERING IS NECESSARY.

 Thank you all for the replies!  After doing lots and lots of reading I
 decided to try Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Respiratory Relief and, so far, I
 am really pleased with it.  Even when I dumped the bag in the litter pan (I
 used a large cement mixing pan and it's great!) there was NO dust.  Just
 now he was in there digging like a fiend and there was no dust then either.
  It's expensive but he's worth it : )  I am also thinking about a
 CatGeniehttp://www.catgenie.com.
  It would be an expensive experiment though if he wouldn't use it.
 
 When we went to the vet we had a very new veterinarian see us that day.  I
 was concerned that he didn't want to do any testing.  I expected they would
 at least suggest an x-ray or something.  This vet's office has a great
 reputation in our area but that's mostly because of the original vet, who
 doesn't see as many patients these days.  Darwin is doing quite a bit
 better now but I may make an appointment with this vet specifically if I
 don't see more improvement soon.  I have been giving him Homeopet Nose
 Relief as well.  I don't know if it's what is helping him or not but I
 figure it can't hurt.  Except that he hates it.  I can't smell it or taste
 it but apparently he can!
 
 Thanks again for all the help.  I've been lurking here for a while, hoping
 I wouldn't need any advice, but it was so nice to know I had you all to
 come to if I did.

   For my FELV's I am using unmedicated Laying Hen crumble. Yes, chicken
  feed. Available at any feed store, and these days urban chickens are tres
  chic so it's easy to find.
   I got it because one of my girls was only 2 months and we were scared
  she'd eat clay, and we've stuck with it. It's very similar to WB (It's
  corn), clumps, LIGHT, and 50 lbs is around $16 (and that's in LA). Low dust.
   OH, and did I mention it is FLUSHABLE?
  
   I wish all the other kids would use it, but my diabetic won't so she
  will pee everywhere, so only the girls get it. That clay s**t is heavy and
  dusty.

I will still stick with World's Best.  In fact the reason I switched
  to it is being able to sift out clumps and not the whole box.  I have 5
  cats and even in the winter months when they cannot go outside, it lasts a
  long time.  It is also half the weight of clay.

I'm not very enthusiastic about clumping litter. If you use it
  properly, you have to use the whole darn bag to get it to clump properly
  and not turn into a cement block because you did not use enough. If you use
  the whole bag, it's very expensive because when you scoop the clumps, the
  litter MUST be replaced, again to get it to clump properly and not glue
  itself to the litter box. If you replace it you spend more money. If you
  use the generic store brand, you get 40 pound clumps that eventually bond
  together and need to be disposed of in an industrial waste dump. LOL. Not
  everything that is advertised is really as magical as it seems to be.

Re: [Felvtalk] need home for FELV cat in Ft. Smith, Arkansas

BTW, Lance - I forwarded her the info on the Iowa locations.  Also found the 
Missouri sanctuary I used once before and sent that.  Haven't heard from her in 
a few days so think I'll check in.

Thanks!

Gloria

 I’m in Fort Smith, but I can’t take anyone in right now. I’ll do some 
 checking with my limited contacts and see if I come up with an option. If 
 the woman would like to talk to an FeLV+ owner, I’d be happy to email or 
 call.

 A friend's mother has taken in an FELV cat in Ft Smith, Arkansas. They 
 found out when she was on the table being spayed.  Her daughter talked her 
 out of euthanizing the kitty.
 
 I told her I'd help look for a home for this kitty.  Lance, are you still 
 in that area?  I know there used to be a Missouri rescue, also, that took 
 FELV cats, too.
 
 Thanks for any suggestions!
