CLS - Jacksonville FL shelter cats

2007-04-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jacksonville FL Humane Society memorial page:
http://ucat.us/JacksonvilleMemorial/

Please take a few moments to add them to your thoughts during tomorrow's
Candlelight Service. Scooter, one cat shown, was FELV+, most were not (maybe
when they rebuild they will have a wing dedicated to Scooter for the FELV+
cats). A couple of dogs were lost as well, from reports at their website,
and 5 cats were able to be rescued, I do not know if they are any shown on
the memorial page. Please remember, MANY animals that end up in shelters
were previously someone's pet, and this tragedy will certainly effect those
owners who had to give up their cat to this shelter. This was a no-kill
shelter.

Sincerely,

You can find LOTS of information on glaucoma in cats by searching google.
That being said, being blind is CERTAINLY NOT A DEATH SENTENCE! Blind cats
do WONDERFULLY well, and adapt very quickly! I wouldn't let the possibility
that she could lose her other eye weigh too heavily on the decision to adopt
her.

Well, I'm over 100 messages behind, so please forgive me if I cover ground
that's already been covered.

Melissa, the girls at the vet's office probably just were looking at you
that way because you seem to not know how contagious Upper Respiratory
Infections are in cats, and they are afraid you will NOT heed the vet's
advice to quarantine this cat. If the FELV+ cat you have gets the URI
(that's the short way to say Upper Respiratory Infection) it could have
fairly severe consequences for him. So, they were PROBABLY giving you the
"oh, she is SOOO naive!" look. Don't take it personally. THEY do not know
you ARE seeking to become more aware of these things, so they are judging
you unfairly. I could be wrong, mind you, but having been a vet assistant
myself, I can assure you I personally gave MY OWN fair share of "Oh these
people are Sooo naive" looks.

It sounds like you have things going in the right direction to me. Putting
the FELV cat in your office is a good option until you are more comfortable
with the idea of mixing. As for the girl in the garage, my only concern is
that some garages are dusty, be it from an unfinished concrete floor, to
general "outside" dirt finding it's way in on cars and bikes over the years,
to a lack of deep cleaning (how many of us vacuum the garage?). If she is
having respiratory issues, this dust could make it worse. So, you may want
to consider putting her in a bathroom, IF your garage is dusty.

You guys won't believe it! I went to the gas station today-and anther baby

at first, but I knew I had to do the right thing. I couldn't walk away from 
this one after doing right by two others this week. There's always room for 
more in my heart and my home (well, for now anyway). 

I lured this tabby (gray, white, brown) into my car-poor thing could've 
gotten run over or kicked or who knows what. It was hanging out by the front 
door as people came in and out, and I couldn't bear the thought of people being 
mean to it during the day. It wanted love so badly! The gas station was full of 
men drinking coffee, gossiping, etc., which although I know there are 
cat-loving men out there (my husband is one), I also know that most men in my 
community (only 800 people in my town) are cat-haters-with a passion. I had to 
get her out of there fast!

The vet's office was surprised, but pleased, that I had the third one in 
this week. This new girl is so beautiful! She's a bob tail, and I've never been 
up close to one. Her fur is soft and silky-not much damage from scratching. I 
think she was a backdoor feeder or recently kicked out. No tags, so she's fair 
game for the new spay police (that's me). Unfortunately, she is pregnant 
(Ashley, stray #2 this week, was not). I'm sad to say since she's not far 
along, she will have a kitty abortion, but I'm trying to prevent the 
overpopulation, and even though I know her babies would be beautiful, I just 
cannot afford it. Please please don't admonish me for this choice-it was a 
tough one to make since all kitties are beautiful and deserve loving homes.

One of the girls at the vet's office wanted to take her home 
immediately-but she wanted her as a barn cat. I said I wanted to find her an 
indoor home, but I'd let her know if I didn't. Truth is: I'll keep her here in 
our house indefinitely before sending her back outside. It's a relief to have a 
fairly healthy kitty this week after the FeLV+ and sickly Ashley. However, I 
haven't told my husband, so mums the word until next week. He'll fall in love 
her instantly, but he has to see her first. He'll think of the bills if he 
knows about her beforehand. I've never kept secrets from my hubby, none, but 
this one might have to be-it's for his own good because he worries about money 
as much as I worry about kitties.

I think I'll name her Frosty, but I'm open to suggestions. I don't have a 
picture of her to share, but she has a frosted look to her fur. If you have any 
suggestions, throw them my way-I'll know if they fit or not. I'm not sure if 
Frosty is really the right name-it doesn't sound right, but it was the first 
thing I thought of when I found she was a girl. I originally named her Thomas 
on the ride to the vet's office. I'm 1-2 for guessing the genders this week!

But, although I was panicked at first, I'm now overjoyed. This is what I 
was meant to do, and I know you guys will give me the strength to do it. I'm 
sorry this is not a FeLV issue (that I know of), but I just wanted to share 
with some people who understand-my family just shakes their heads.

About the FeLV+ (Cassidy), he's finally figured out the litter box after I 
sniffed around the carpet and found his piddles. The crystal litter was too 
confusing to him-so it's back to old school clay until I can switch him over 
gradually. He hadn't had a bm until just now-I think he was waiting to be sure 
he went in the right place! He's a lot more comfortable, I can tell.

Again, I have a super long post-thanks for listening! Now it's onto the job 
search.gotta pay the vet somehow! Does anyone know of a spay/neuter assistance 
program? I'm gonna need it!

$50M lawsuit filed against pet food company
Last Updated: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 | 4:22 PM PT
CBC News 

Another big pet-food manufacturer is accused of
selling tainted food in Canada that has allegedly
killed some animals and made others sick, CBC News has
learned.

A $50-million class-action lawsuit was filed Tuesday
in Toronto against Royal Canin — a multibillion-dollar
French company that supplies the Canadian pet-food
market.

The lawsuit seeks compensation for anyone who has
purchased Royal Canin
 dog or cat food since Aug. 1, 2004.

The lawsuit has yet to be certified. None of the
claims have been proven in court.

News of the lawsuit follows a North America-wide
recall issued Friday by Ontario-based Menu Foods, and
involving 91 different kinds of dog and cat food,
after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received
complaints the food was causing kidney failure in
animals.

Toronto lawyer Joel Rochon told CBC News on Tuesday
that the class-action lawsuit is based on the case of
Whitby, Ont., pet owner Janet Grixti, whose chocolate
lab Mocha is alleged to have suffered permanent kidney
damage after eating Royal Canin dog food.  
Continue Article
 


"He is a very young dog, and now he will have this
costly condition for the rest
 of his life," Grixti said Tuesday in a release.

Company issued recall

The lawsuit alleges that certain types of Royal Canin
cat and dog food contain excessive amounts of Vitamin
D, which cause severe illness or death in pets.

"The allegation is that the problem persists even
today," Rochon said.

The company recalled some of its products last summer
and offered to pay a portion of Grixti's $40,000
veterinarian bill, Rochon said, but his client is not
satisfied.  

Rochon also said he is considering filing another
lawsuit after getting calls from angry pet owners who
allege their animals got sick or died after eating
Menu Foods products.
  
 "From what we can tell, there's a segment of the pet
food supply here in Canada that just doesn't have
adequate quality assurance associated with it and
that's a big concern," he said.

Royal Canin wasn't available to comment on the
lawsuit.

Menu Foods has also refused to return calls since
allegations surfaced Monday that its food had killed a
cat in Canada.

Re: Mom cat neg/neg - chances of babies being pos?

2007-04-08 Thread TenHouseCats

if the moms are negative, the odds of the kittens being positive go way way
down, as the current research implies that babies are infected by passing
through the birth canal and all its lovely bodily fluids, and through all
the nursing and cleaning and caressing that mamacat gives the tiny ones.  so
if mom is negative, and the babies are n't living in a colony with positive
surrogate mommies to help with the other stuff, they will probably be fine.

Hi Elizabeth,

They were, last I checked, which was this morning before work - all
clean and dry and comfy and eating.  I just hope she didn't eat a
significant amount of litter cleaning up the babies.

Hi Gina,

That is so sweet of you!

One kitten looks like brown tabby, two orange and white, one orange,
and one gray.  No black kittens, thank goodness (I love them just like
any other kittens but they are horribly hard to adopt out).

I'm swimming in cats.we pulled 15 2 weeks ago, one mom, 5 babies,
3 bottle babies ~ 2 weeks old, and 5 bottle babies ~4 weeks old.
These all went to one wonderful foster's house.  I went back and
picked up 3 that are eating canned food and trying to eat solids.

So many moms with litters die in the shelter here..it is horrific.

I'm trying to recruit fosters as fast as I can.  I wish I didn't have
a full time job so I could just do this all the time...But if I didn't
have a full time job I couldn't afford to do it...so glad we are a
501(c)(3) now so that contributions are tax deductible.  It gives me a
lot more options.

Perhaps I mistyped the link.

Try this

http://rescuties.chipin.com/joey-autoimmune-hemolytic-anemia

and if it doesn't work email me again and we will figure it out.

a prayer every night for our babies,including everyones here.I pray that they 
find more of those poor babies in Florida.It just sickens me too.I don't know

  My main concern has always been the people that are doing "community

So, we really never know just who we're dealing with.
  And,most of our dogs are kept in an area [very newly renovated], far from 
cats.  But we do house our seniors & special need K-9's in another area of 
barn..
  And, we have 22 acres, so most run freely.  But due to the neighborhood, we 
have to house the dogs inside at night!!!
  And, again, what chutzpah!!!  The shelter was there WAY before they put in

homes anyway!!!  And now they complain!  (They've had us in court more times

  I'm very relieved that they were able to save some.  I am still praying that 
more cats will show up.
  I only wish all involved the best of luck in their future endeavors...
  As sad as it was, thank you for posting about it.
  Have to "hobble" off now - My dear, sweet [ancient] Puma is calling me.
