RE: location
Hi Amy, I am new to this web site, but was reading the note below, if you need anymore volunteers to transport the animals I would be happy to volunteer my time..I live in Horsham, PennsylvaniaI just lost a cat due to felv...So if I can do anything just let me knowLisa Ward -Original Message- From: Amy Wilkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 5:46 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: location Kerry, I do a lot of animal transport. The way it works with us is that a volunteer drives approximately 60 miles, more or less if they desire. At that point, we hand off the animal to the next volunteer. For cats, we crate them and send a litter box. For dogs, we allow for potty breaks. Most of the transport coordinators have volunteers along the desired route that agree to help out.

Atlanta and Athens :(
Atlanta (white with tabby) and Athens (grey tabby) born 4-3-05, were both pts yesterday Both had FELV (tested 2 times) and Atlanta could hardly walk and Athens was on his way. Decided to let them go gently and with out anymore pain. These are the last two of the five siblings that tested positive. The one brother - Rome, tested negative 2 months ago, retested yesterday and is still negative, he will now be adopted out. I hope I never have this disease again, but I am sure I will being that I do rescue. This has made me realize what a horrible disease this is along with FIP . 3 of the 5 died from FIP but I am sure it was because of the FELV and their immune systems not being able to fight anything off :( We seem to have a high rate of FIP in this area .. :( Heavy heavy heart in Oakdale, CA Terri ps please add them to the candle lite service for Monday - thank you -- Terri Durham-Stone Safe a Life Spay and Neuter Live well, Love much, Laugh Often
Our Beautiful Salome'
Maybe this is what I get for bragging. Our Big Beautiful Girl, her Daddy's Salome', has left us for the Rainbow Bridge as of 10:15 AM this morning. She had been doing so well -- was sick only once in her whole life, last summer. She got over that URI all by herself, without antibiotic. She stopped eating just about 5 days ago. No visible reason, but then she started vomiting, and had loose stool. We finally took her to the vet on Wednesday thinking maybe she had swallowed something that was causing stomach distress. We checked her for blockage, and ran a blood panel. X-rays were clear. Some distension due to gas, but no foreign objects or anything. However, her white cell count was 8, her kidneys were not functioning to capacity, and her liver was in end stage failure. We brought home an anti-emitic and amoxi-drops, but she still refused to eat, would not allow force feeding, and vomited up the medication. This morning, she had bloody diarrhea and bloody urine. Her Daddy (my husband Dan) finally saw that he needed to end her pain. Her bottom was all swollen and leaky and her bones were starting to show. She was looking hollow -- not much of her left when she would make eye contact. I have a splitting headache. My husband is weeping, and beating himself up over this, even though we know that she was suffering and is now free from her pains. Now she is free to romp and play with her sisfurs and her brofurs that have gone before her -- especially her litter-mate Ruthie-Girl, who has been waiting for her sisfur Salome' at the Rainbow Bridge for 9 years. Whether or not she was truly FeLV+ I don't really know -- but I am grateful that I had the privilege of sharing her life on earth. I thank God that He entrusted her to our care, and that she saw fit to bring us her baby brofur Travis to taker her place in playing with the soda bottle caps and paper bags. He is so much liker her already, it's scary. He's like both of them -- Salome' and Ruthie both.

Our Big Beautiful Girl, her Daddy's Salome', has left us for the Rainbow Bridge as of 10:15 AM this morning. She had been doing so well -- was sick only once in her whole life, last summer.

RE: location
Kerry, About the Rochester kitty, sorry about that. I wrote you and then somehow we lost touch. I would have been able to get him to you but the people never got back to me. I talked to another person locally and she was meeting the cat to see about taking him. I'm 99% sure she took him but I'm waiting for them to follow up. I know they would have contacted me by now if he still needed a place to stay. I'm guessing no news is good news. Thanks for the offer! If you have any openings or know anybody else that keeps positives, I'm waiting on a litter of kittens that my vet is trying to catch and I know they will be positive for something. I have the 2 adults that were hanging around where the kittens are located. My female is FIV pos and the male is FeLV pos so I'm guessing somewhere out in the wild they bred and that the kitties floating around may be positive. They all showed up at my vet's farm. Just to clarify so it doesn't sound like I'm breeding them... My girl showed up unspayed. My vet caught her, spayed her, and I adopted her. Later, my male showed up, intact. She caught him, neutered him, and I adopted him. Now these other kittens are coming around, not babies but younger cats. Since I know the 2 cats I adopted are positive, I'm guessing some of the kittens may be too. Never know though, maybe they never came in contact. --- MacKenzie, Kerry N.

My dear little Claudette
Dear Belinda, Please add my dear little Claudette to the Candlelight service. She passed today at the age of twelve. She had cancer of the liver and died from a reaction to the chemo which was just started yesterday. Claudette had thrown off the leukemia virus eight years ago when my kitties were exposed to the virus from a kitten who had originally tested negative. Her brother Phillipe became positive and died within two years. Claudette and Phillipe were two beautiful grey and black tabbies with white feet and copper markings. She and Phillipe had prominent black rings on their grey tails, just like a raccoon. Her cute little nose was half white, half copper, and she had the loud insistant meow of her Siamese mother, Mitou. Claudette, Phillipe, Andre, and Sylvie were all born in my son's closet. When they were tiny, Phillipe, the leader of the pack would climb up my leg into my lap with Claudette right behind. Then would come black Andre. I would have to pick up the very small Sylvie who was born with hypernatremia and wasn't well coordinated. Then all of the kittens would snuggle in my lap and fall asleep - it was a thrill, even though their clawing their way up was a tad painful. Claudie was also the best of all my kitties with the head butts. She was like a caring older sister to the sick kitties and would always hover close by them as if to offer comfort. The sudden onset of the cancer and her loss this morning was a big shock. But now I hope she has found her brother Phillipe and they are together again - my two little ringtails. Bonnie in WI

Re: Our Beautiful Salome'
Terri, Your pictures are adorable... It's so hard to lose them. This has been a bad week for animals all around, several friends here lost animals this week. My thoughts are with you. Steph Thanks so much for that Susan. She truly was Daddy's Girl.

Our Big Beautiful Girl, her Daddy's Salome', has left us for the Rainbow Bridge as of 10:15 AM this morning. She had been doing so well -- was sick only once in her whole life, last summer. She got over that URI all by herself, without antibiotic. She stopped eating just about 5 days ago. No visible reason, but then she started vomiting, and had loose stool. We finally took her to the vet on Wednesday thinking maybe she had swallowed something that was causing stomach distress. We checked her for blockage, and ran a blood panel. X-rays were clear. Some distension due to gas, but no foreign objects or anything. However, her white cell count was 8, her kidneys were not functioning to capacity, and her liver was in end stage failure. We brought home an anti-emitic and amoxi-drops, but she still refused to eat, would not allow force feeding, and vomited up the medication. This morning, she had bloody diarrhea and bloody urine. Her Daddy (my husband Dan) finally saw that he needed to end her pain. Her bottom was all swollen and leaky and her bones were starting to show. She was looking hollow -- not much of her left when she would make eye contact. I have a splitting headache. My husband is weeping, and beating himself up over this, even though we know that she was suffering and is now free from her pains. Now she is free to romp and play with her sisfurs and her brofurs that have gone before her -- especially her litter-mate Ruthie-Girl, who has been waiting for her sisfur Salome' at the Rainbow Bridge for 9 years. Whether or not she was truly FeLV+ I don't really know -- but I am grateful that I had the privilege of sharing her life on earth. I thank God that He entrusted her to our care, and that she saw fit to bring us her baby brofur Travis to taker her place in playing with the soda bottle caps and paper bags. He is so much liker her already, it's scary. He's like both of them -- Salome' and Ruthie both. The furkid photos link in my signature has pictures of her for any of you who don't remember what she looked like, or for those of you who just want to take another look. To my felvtalk family -- Please add her to the next Candle light service? I thank God every day that He provided this list. I don't think I would have gotten through these past 6 years without all of you to fall back on -- in both times of sorrow and in times of joy. Goodnight, my sweet darling Salome'... =^..^= Terri, Siggie the Tomato Vampire, Guinevere, Sammi, Travis, and 6 furangels: RuthieGirl, Samantha, Arielle, Gareth, Alec and Salome' =^..^= Furkid Photos! http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7sgqa/ My FeLV Site: http://pages.ivillage.com/ruthiegirl1/MyFeLVinformationSite/ My Personal Page: http://www.geocities.com/ruthiegirl1/terrispage.html?1083970447350

Bonnie, I'm so sorry. I know how badly you're going to miss Claudette. They all sound so adorable, you must miss them all so much--the image of them climbing up into your lap is wonderful.

So many losses...
Terri B, Terri D and Bonnie, I'm so sorry for all the heartache and loss. I'm sitting here numb with the grief of it. My little Gracie is fighting for her life and it's so hard to imagine how we will bear it all. I have no words, only sadness. Sometimes it's so hard to keep fighting. I'll write again when my strength returns. In the meantime know that I love you, appreciate you and feel your pain. Nina

We are presently preparing to transport 70 cats from the LA SPCA in Gonzalez where they rescued 70 cats from a vet tech/rescuer whose home was flooded and who is relinquishing them, and I believe the vast majority will be domestics, some are FIV positive.

Re: My dear little Claudette
They are together and they are very grateful for your love. In a few days, aftersome of the shock has dulled, ask them to come to you in your dreams..then let them in. When you close your eyes each night, be open to them visiting. When the time is right, they will visit you. Don't be afraid and don't be in a hurry to wake up..enjoy their visit and ask them to come again. The visits will not make the pain of losing them go away but it will let you know that they are happy and carefree and healthy and very much appreciate everything you did for them and for all the other cats and other animals you have helped. They will fill your heart with their love.you just have to let them. - Original Message - From: Barb Moermond To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 5:16 PM Subject: Re: My dear little Claudette Oh Bonnie, I am so sorry.. again, I'm crying here at my desk.
